Learning to Love Christmas by remarkable_

"Hey Elle," Gavin said in a low tone, wiping the counter clean. "I bet a month's worth of dirty dish duty that you can't turn Scrooge into Santa's head elf in three weeks." Noelle Winters loves Christmas. She loves catching snowflakes on her tongue on snow days, reading by the fireplace with a big cup of hot cocoa. Christmas displays in toy shops and department stores make her happy. She loves how families get together and celebrate during the most wonderful time of the year. Christmas has this jolly, comfortable, warm, cozy, feel to it that makes her want to bury herself in knitted sweaters, light Christmas scented candles and sing Christmas carols in the middle of town square. With the cheery atmosphere in Fairview, who wouldn't join in on the holiday festivities? Oliver Hastings. He hates Christmas. Loathes it. He hates how bright the lights are and how everything in town seems so whimsical and enchanted. It all makes him want to puke. He claims that celebrating the holidays are useless and a waste of his time. So what happens when Elle's boss hires Oliver to work at Gingersnaps? A nuclear explosion of candy canes and sugar plums, that's what. She knows that no one's supposed to be unhappy on Christmas. Not even the grumpy Christmas hater named Oliver. With the help of her best friend Carol, she writes a list of things to try and get Oliver in the spirit. She's determined to show him what he's missed out on so far like; "Go ice skating", "Have a snowball fight", and "Sing Christmas Carols". She has 22 days and she's up for the challenge. last tracked achievements: humor #18 [28/12/14] teen fic #69 [15/12/14]

Can he find the courage to save the one he loves, or will the North Pole and Christmas cease to be? Dig deeper that you ever thought you could go and discover the true hero behind the glowing red nose. Only you can find the truth.

Holly Garland on Santa's Lap [COMPLETE] by SylviaDeLorme

Once upon a time, I was your typical good girl, doing my job like a total elf star, no complaints. Even with the little "gift" I was born with (aka my disability), I handled life pretty well. But let me tell you, luck's never been my plus-one. What am I talking about? Oh, just my lovely name-and the Christmas curse that comes with it! Every year, without fail, while my family's out decking the halls, I'm over here getting snowed under with the worst disasters. So, yeah, all I want for Christmas is for this nightmare of a season to be over. But this year? Oh, I've really hit the Christmas tree topper. Ever since I plopped myself down on Santa's lap at my office party and made a special wish, it's been one yule disaster after another! And now, I'm stuck in this sleigh ride from hell with that red-suited nightmare, forced to follow him wherever he jingles. Sure, he might be a total angel under that fake beard-mysterious and all-but I'm not about to let myself get wrapped up like some Christmas present under the tree. My brain's still in one piece, thanks. So, seriously, sweet baby Jesus, how did a nice executive assistant like me end up sleighing through this wild holiday misadventure full of danger, romance, and all the holly jolly chaos of Christmas?!

Wishing upon a star by xowhiterose

Ever heard of the game secret Santa? Well for Carol and Nick this game of secret Santa changes their life for the better. Carol is living in a nightmare that is her life. The teenagers at school don't know about her abusive life outside of school and they wouldn't care since all they enjoy is bullying her and making her life a living hell more then it already is. This year her school decides that for Christmas they will play a game of secret Santa; pairing each student with another from the school one town over. There Nick attends school. Nick is the mysterious boy with an attitude that no one understands yet all the girls seem to be attracted to him like a moth is attracted to light. They don't know about his dark past or the demons he is constantly fighting within himself as all they care about are his good looks. Two people similar in many ways in need of a friend are paired in this cliche game of secret Santa. Where they send letters of advise and maybe even some confessions to one another. Along the way they seem to click with one another without actually knowing who the person behind the pen is. They have 25 days until the games are over and until they get to meet their secret Santa face to face. Not all gifts come in the form of money, makeup or clothes some come in the form of friendships and maybe even love.
