The Boys Who Broke Christmas
In a cold, snow-covered city, Christmas has disappeared-completely erased from memory. There are no lights, no trees, no festive cheer. It's like the holiday never existed at all. Except for two 14-year-old boys, Luke and Max, who still remember everything about it. They're the only ones who feel the absence of Christmas, and they can't ignore the eerie silence that has settled over their world.
What begins as a quiet realization quickly spirals into a strange and thrilling journey. Together, the boys uncover that Christmas hasn't just been forgotten-it's been deliberately erased by a mysterious, angry figure who's decided the world no longer deserves the holiday. As they dig deeper into the mystery, Luke and Max encounter strange characters, twisted remnants of holiday traditions, and an alternate reality where Christmas was never real.
Along the way, the boys' friendship deepens, hovering on the edge of something more as they navigate their evolving feelings for each other. Their bond becomes their guiding light in a world that's grown cold and joyless.
But time is running out. With every day that passes, Christmas slips further away, and the world grows darker. To bring it back, Luke and Max must confront not only the bitter person who deleted the holiday but also their own fears, doubts, and the tension between them.
Full of heartwarming moments, dark humor, and surreal twists, The Year Christmas Disappeared is an emotional, weird, and unforgettable story of friendship, love, and the fight to reclaim hope when the world seems determined to forget it.
