Ho! Ho! Ho! Holiday hilarity abounds in Tinsel, Texas and the laughs are non-stop. In the days leading up to Christmas, guests at the Snowflake Inn B&B go to extraordinary lengths to keep their Yuletide plans on track. Trina Walcott, Innkeeper, has her hands full with a pair of feisty, feuding aunts, a troop of ham actors on a secret mission, a rendezvous between Mrs. Claus and an amorous elf, and a raucous visit with the Futrelles: Honey Raye, Twink, Frankie, Rhonda Lynn and their loveable sidekick, Raynerd. These tales will make your season merry and bright!
