Miranda did not put adventure on her Christmas list, but thanks to her eighty-five-year-old neighbor Joy, that's exactly what she's getting this year. When Joy tells Miranda that she plans to drive an old RV decked out in Christmas decorations from their Chicago neighborhood to her new retirement digs in Phoenix--in the dead of winter, no less--the much younger Miranda insists that Joy cannot make such a trip by herself. Besides, a crazy trip with Joy would be more interesting than another Christmas home alone. Unemployed and facing foreclosure, Miranda feels she has nothing to lose by packing a bag and heading off to Route 66. But Joy has a hidden agenda for their Christmas joyride--and a hidden problem that could derail the whole venture.
No one captures the heartwarming fun of the Christmas season quite like Melody Carlson. Fasten your seat belt, because it's going to be an exciting ride!
The Christmas Joy Ride by Melody Carlson was a super great read that definitely deserves 5+stars.
The Characters, Christmas Joy and Miranda made a great team and brought so much spunk to this witty Christmas tale,
Joy was almost eighty-six when she and Miranda set out to bring
Christmas cheer to some deserving 
people who had won a contest on Joy’s website.
The plan is to make the near two thousand mile trip from Chicago to Phoenix and an old beat up RV packed full of Christmas decorations, cookies and all the things that makes Christmas great.
This is a book you will not want to miss this holiday season! This is pure, clean fun that is sure to get you into the Christmas Spirit
