Carter Holly has been waiting on this day to come for a year now. Today is the day that the little Elf girl sets up Shoppe across the street from his uncle’s bakery selling matchsticks. Carter has watched the girl for a few years now. He has wanted for so long just to have the nerve to talk to her but unfortunately he has not had enough courage until now. Yep today is the day. Yep today is the big day. The day that he finally does it yep he is going to talk to her.

Brynne Mirren is the oldest child in her family so it has fallen on her shoulders to help out the family. Brynne’s family have been down on their luck as of late her father doesn’t have a job so that is why Brynne sets her cart up on the street hoping that the big giants, the humans will buy them. Brynne has been taught all her life that humans could not be trusted. Brynne is very afraid of all the big giant humans. But when tragedy strikes Brynne’s family and she is left all alone she has no choice but to trust the big giant human.

Carter is the guy that all girls want he is so loving and kind and wants nothing more than to protect Byrnne to keep her safe from all harm. He just has the biggest heart always waiting to help everybody and make them happy.

Brynne is just like all girls who just want to someone to hold her and love her and just make everything better. She has so much warmth and love in her heart. She loves and cares for her family so very much especially her little brother and sister. She loves her father too she knows he is just having a hard time having to live in a world of giants and can’t find a job.

Brynne and Carter make the cutest couple. I just adore Brynne she is so cute and small. I kind of know how she feels living in a world of giants as I do myself. Well I am not as short as she is but I do live with giants. I am 4’10” and my husband is 6’2” so I know what it is like to stand in front of him and have to lean over backwards to see up into his face. Ha-ha! I also have two step-sons who are tall as well. The oldest is 6’5” and the youngest is 6’ so you see I do know a little bit of how she feels.

I have so enjoyed reading Brynne and Carter’s story. There was this one scene that I really loved and that is when Brynne decides to go climbing. I would like to know more about Brynne and her family and how they ended up where they are now. I would also like to read more about Brynne and Carter’s life together. They have a hard road ahead of them but hopefully they can change the world.

With this year I think I am going to start a list of some kind that includes Christmas stories. It is not a wish list, it is a list where you add books that you have read and would read again. But they must be Christmas stories. Matchsticks and Candy Canes have made it on that list. Do you have a list? What is on your list? Have you read Matchsticks and Candy Canes? No? Pick up a copy today and read it by Christmas and then add it to your list.
