Mallory's Christmas Wish is the 92nd book in The Baby-Sitters Club series by Ann M. Martin.
Back Cover Summary Mallory loves Christmas, but not the commercialism. She wishes her family could celebrate an old-fashioned holiday. The Pikes love the idea. Then her family wins a contest! They will receive ten thousand dollars to have their old-fashioned Christmas captured on film.
Soon the camera crew moves in and begins filming the Pikes' cookie-baking, stocking-hanging, and tree-trimming. At first, everything goes fine. But then the filming gets out of control. The Pikes' old-fashioned Christmas is becoming a disaster. What happened to Mallory's wish?
Ann M. Martin's Dear Reader Letter Dear Reader:
As a kid, Christmas was always my favorite holiday, and now as an adult it still is. In fact, I usually take the entire month of December off just to prepare for the holiday. I buy presents for my friends and relatives, I sew Christmas and Hanukkah outfits for my godchildren, and I always give a big party. All my friends and their children come to it. Every year the kid work on special art projects. Ti can get pretty messy. Maybe I should hire a baby-sitter to help out!
Nothing like what happened in Mallory’s Christmas Wish has ever happened to me, but an old-fashioned Christmas is something I always wish for. I guess I’m old-fashioned at heart.
Happy reading!

This book originally came with a punch-out holiday ornament.
