Love thy neighbor . . .
Providing the White House Christmas tree is a dream come true for Connecticut tree farmer Sam Garrison, but the filming of a TV special in his hometown promises to be a nightmare. The house he inherited from his grandparents is not ready for its close-up, yet he dreads the makeover offered by the ladies of the town’s craft guild. His prayers are answered when he meets his new neighbor.
NYC interior designer Anna Tilford bought a farmhouse as a weekend retreat from her job, but the TV special threatens her quiet idyll. She’s not interested in taking on Sam’s decorating project -- until she spots his grandmother’s floor loom. In exchange for use of the loom, she agrees to create a Christmas wonderland fit for the cameras. And spending significant time in the company of the loom’s rugged owner may be just the creative spark she’s been missing...
