Violet Maverick had always harbored a crush for her best friend Finn Orland. But she knew better to keep it a secret when it came to Finn simply because they always worked so much better as friends. By now she’s forced herself to believe that Finn would never view the girl he used to see in diapers as girlfriend material. That is, until Finn decides he has a secret of his own that he’s dying to spill on the busiest night of the year for Violet: Christmas Eve. Working as one of Santa’s elves in the city’s largest mall during the holidays meant that Violet didn’t have time to go somewhere to “talk” like Finn wanted. Little does she know, Finn’s got a few tricks up his sleeves to make her ditch her post at the artificially snow covered house with Santa’s other helpers. Will Violet end up tangled beneath the Christmas lights with Finn by the end of the night? Or will she end up stuck beneath children’s grabby hands and broken tree ornaments before she gives Finn the chance to spill his secret?
