Sheila Roberts' On Strike for Christmas is a humorous, heartwarming novel about a community of women who are tired of feeling unappreciated for all the hard work they do at Christmas--so they stage a boycott.
At Christmastime, it seems as though a woman's work is never done.
Trimming the tree, mailing the cards, schlepping to the mall, 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.
Sheila Roberts gives the best gift of all in this funny, heartwarming novel that touches the very core of Christmas spirit.
