christmas shortstory

When Rory Edwards wakes up in a strange room in a strange town just a week before Christmas, the only thing she's sure of is... Well, nothing. 

And Drew, the man just as lost as her, is no help; a self-proclaimed champion of everything Christmas, Drew's Santa-hat-over-heels in love with the very holiday Rory has hated all her life. That's about as bad as you can get in her books.

Then something happens that nobody had expected. Before she knows it, Rory finds herself face-to-face with her greatest fear, and ironically enough it is Drew who must bring her out of the darkness.

This is the story of Rory's Christmas, of how a pessimist met an optimist and decided that maybe the world isn't so bad after all.All Rights Reserved

Living quietly under her strict great-aunt's roof, she struggles to find balance between her great-aunt's controlling expectations and her own dreams. She's never been in love, but one thing she's sure of: marrying the so-called "perfect match" her great-aunt insists on is not the life she wants. One night, at a farewell party for her soon-to-be-departing cousins, Julie gets hopelessly drunk. She scribbles her romantic wish onto a little piece of paper: *"Dear Santa, I wish to fall in love with men of mystery and charm."* But thanks to her intoxicated state, she misspells Santa-and her wish is delivered to none other than **Satan**. And Satan decides to grant it. Starting on December 1st, Julie's world is turned upside down by a mysterious advent calendar. Every night, she is transported to a different realm where she meets a new, enigmatic suitor. There's the vampire lord, the last remnant of life in a desolate wasteland, whose castle is no lonelier than his soul. There's the flirtatious mermaid prince, offering the treasures of the ocean to make her stay. There's the brooding knight of the lake, bound by a solemn duty that has kept him guarding its misty waters for centuries... **24 days. 24 mysterious lovers.** Will Julie choose to stay in one world and follow her heart? Or will she continue the journey, uncovering even more dazzling and dangerous realms? With every passing night, Julie embarks on a whirlwind of romance, mystery, and self-discovery. As Christmas draws near, the ultimate question looms: what will Julie's adventure bring her in the end?

Ghosts of Christmas Past by Patewick

Christmas sucks. When Emily Shepherd's boss boyfriend cheats on her with her best friend, she loses everything in one night-love, friendships, job, and home. In a weird fit of desperation (or some deep-rooted need to punish herself even more) she moves back to her hometown, a place that also holds some emotional trauma. The ghost of that experience still haunts her, but it's nothing compared to the actual ghosts haunting her. No one believes her, of course. So, two weeks before Christmas Emily has no boyfriend, no friends, no job, no money, and no prospects. But she does have two ghosts. And Leo. And suddenly, Christmas doesn't suck so much.

The first Christmas she's been home since she started working for the Fortune 500 company that hired her from college, almost ten years ago.

Second Week Of December by Jannthorn

Is love in the stars? in the air? or, in the cards? Can we find ourselves during a long walk on the beach? a short walk on a pier? or, a quick bike ride into town? Would destiny call through the reeds? as a bellowing horn? or, as a barking dog? Do you believe in fate? destiny? or, the after-life? These are questions that thirty-one year old Janie wasn't even considering, she didn't need to. She was a good girl, she followed the rules. Her life had direction, she was on the right track, or so she thought, until last December when her comfortable little world unraveled. Comfortably married for a few years to her college sweetheart, steady job, great dog, nice apartment. While she and Tom's marriage wasn't a Hollywood romance, she was confident that eventually, in time, and with some effort, there would be a house and children. It's that time of year, the height of the holiday season, the second week of December to be exact. Too much seasonal hype Janie always thought, holiday decorations in full force, parties galore, so much good cheer. Last year, at Janie's company's annual holiday function, there was plenty of food, way too much alcohol and an overabundance of Joy -- everything changed after that party as her personal life became the popular topic at the office water-cooler. With the holiday season rapidly approaching, again, Janie finds herself surrounded by the usual merriment, but she is sad and alone. Her husband's infidelity has forced her to face re-inventing herself as her dream-life crumbled. Not only was she subjected to stares and whispers at work, but she was forced into a new space socially, and residentially. Most recently the death of her long-time canine companion, Maggie, has been the icing on her 'emotional' cake. Now she must rebuild her life, alone. With no plan, direction or hope she feels lost in the dark until a random stranger offers more than just 'a light.' Join her on a magical tale of love, loss and personal discovery.

Finn just want to be alone; Hannah just wants to find somewhere to belong. When his secret is revealed, Hannah is willing to do anything to be claimed. *** Just when Hannah thinks this Christmas can't get any worse, a wrong turn leaves her stranded without fuel or phone signal in the midst of a surprise snow storm. Lost in the blustery snow-scape, she nearly freezes to death but is rescued by man straight from her fantasies. She is drawn to him immediately, and when the opportunity arises to become his life-mate, she is unintimidated by his warning that he'll never be able to let her go. Finn came to the middle of nowhere to be alone. His plans to spend the holidays in complete isolation are interrupted by an unconscious woman on his doorstep, and worst yet, this woman happens to be his beast-half's chosen mate. She is more than willing to be claimed by him, but he has far darker secrets than he is willing to admit, and even if he wants her, giving in to the urge might just condemn them both. Hannah is not willing to give up her happily ever after so easily, though. She won't let her shifter mate go until she shows him exactly what he'll be missing. Warning: Sexual Content
