On strike for Christmas

Cover of On strike for Christmas

At Christmas time, it seems as though a woman's work is never done. Trimming the tree, mailing the cards, schlepping to the shops, the endless wrapping - bah humbug! So this year, Joy and Laura and the rest of their knitting group decide to go on strike. If their husbands and families want a nice holiday filled with parties, decorations and presents - well, they'll just have to do it themselves. The boycott soon takes on a life of its own when a reporter picks up the story and more women join in. But as Christmas Day approaches, Joy, Laura and their husbands confront larger issues in their marriages, and discover that a little holiday magic is exactly what they need to come together.
