Christmas, Present by Jacquelyn Mitchard.
This book was very well written. I was a bit surprised though. I was looking for a warm hearted, touching Christmas story --- and this is not that. It was good but heavy and sad. After 14 years of marriage, on the way home from their anniversary dinner, Laura, the wife, experiences a major headache. At the hospital they discover it was a brain aneurysm and they have been told she has hours until she slips away. There is nothing the doctors can do. And on Christmas Eve she dies with her family surrounding her. It is ultimately very sad. Not much of a Christmas for the family.
