Estelle Richards' parents don't celebrate Christmas. She doesn't feel like she's missing out on anything - she's just used to it by now. After a tragedy convinced her to follow her parents to New York about a year and a half ago, she's spent her previously outgoing life in the quiet. And she likes it. She likes it a lot. Noel Pearson is only tolerable on the subject of two things: his younger sister and Christmas. Since the latter is rushing up to meet them, he's determined to put on his brightest smile. But when he hears that there's a freshman girl who has never had a Christmas in her entire life, he decides that she's his next challenge. There's just one problem: he's got less than a month. Can he really teach Estelle Richards how to love Christmas in just twenty-five days? ▲▼▲▼▲▼▲▼▲ Warning: this is a cute, cliché Christmas story. Read at your own risk!

For years, Ivy's family tradition had been spending Christmas Eve at Pomona Park. Mistletoes hadn't ever meant much to Ivy, that is until she meets a certain boy with a holiday charm to spice up her seasonal tradition. With a few ups and downs along the way she's stuck wondering, did those moments underneath the mistletoe mean anything to him? *Entry for xTheGirlNextDoor's Holiday Short Story contest 2012*

Seven days before Christmas, a snowstorm sweeps across the town of Churchill. Sydney gets snowed in at the Sugar Sweet Café with Dion Gallenger, a friend she's known since high school. According to the forecast, the weather won't be letting up for at least two days. So the two are stuck at the café for forty-eight hours. Alone. And that's only the beginning. Over the the next week, a lot is about to go down for the pair (such as flaming Christmas trees, inhumanly large and lopsided gingerbread houses and... Rudolph appearing at the front door?). Is this a good time to mention the three-year crush Sydney's been harbouring on Dion? No? Well toss that into the mix too. It's about to be the wildest Christmas season Sydney and Dion have ever experienced.

They wanted to make A Christmas Carol of their own. So they did.
