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!
