Christmas, Present by Jacquelyn Mitchard

I did not like this book.  It was short and a quick read, but did not put me a the Christmas mood.  Elliot takes his wife Laura to a Cirque du Soleil performance.  On the way home she gets a terrible headache and the car breaks down.  She says she has to go to the hospital and they find out a blood vessel burst in her brain and she has less than 24 hours to live.  This is all happening the day before Christmas.  It was not a story I would tell at Christmas time.  I know these things happen, but this did not grab me.  It was all quiet self absorbed and I can't get any life lesson from the way this was written.
