When Father Noel Carmel, the perpetually flustered parish priest of Saint Nicholas' Parish, is invited to celebrate Christmas Mass inside the town's legendary chocolate factory, he knows two things for certain: it's a tremendous honour, and something is bound to go wrong! Still, he agrees, bringing along eight altar boys to help. Seven of them are experts in mischief. The eighth, their unshakable prefect, is the only thing standing between order and absolute mayhem. Waiting for them is Chris Paddington, the factory's cheerful (if slightly dim) owner. An ex-altar boy who rose from janitor to guardian of a 200-year-old chocolate empire simply because he was too honest to lie and too kind to fake it. He welcomes them with open arms to a wonderland of chocolate, caramel, peppermint, and gingerbread. But when a sudden blizzard seals the doors shut, Christmas Eve turns from festive to frantic. Snowed in with time on their hands and temptation everywhere, the altar boys discover the ultimate danger: a captive audience. Two unexpected guests only make matters worse: one intent on devouring as much chocolate as humanly possible, and another quietly determined to see the factory -and its owner-ruined. Snowed in and surrounded by sugar, secrets begin to melt. Old grudges resurface, tempers flare, and laughter gives way to moments of unexpected honesty as the night stretches on. Between pranks gone too far and kindness quietly given, Father Noel and his unlikely flock must confront what it truly means to lead, to forgive, and to belong!

• a grayson dolan fanfic • Clarke Summer has an attitude problem. She hates her family, she hates her school and she hates her peers. And coming from a troubled past, she has never been able to shake the insecurities so brutally placed upon her. She is flunking school, dating the neighbourhood 'bad boy' and has disrespected her parents for the last time. They need a plan to get their wayward daughter back on track. And their plan is foolproof. A summer job. They need to not only find a place that would accept her rather bare application but also one that she couldn't escape from and would tickle her fancy- even slightly! And that is where the Ikaia Resort comes into play. Based on a Hawaiian Island, it ticked all the boxes. ✓ Had an urgent position open as a staff member to child care and run activities. ✓ Was an (almost) inescapable island meaning she couldn't leave halfway through. ✓ Could be disguised as a family holiday that she wouldn't mind attending. But one thing Clarke's parents didn't account for in this foolproof plan was the Resort Owner's Son. Grayson Dolan. Even though he was the star student, sporty and ex-school captain, Grayson would send Clarke's mind in a whirl. Up rooting all of Clarke's problems once and for all. Copyright © 2015 by PerfectPoppy

When bad things start to happen in your family, do you just start picking people to blame it on? Does your family fight all the time and have everyone mad at each other where they don't see each other till the next year. Well if that describes your family, sorry, but this story is about a family who had super bad things happen to them, but they stuck together. They fought, they argued, they didn't talk for days, weeks, months, but they alway tried to have a dinner every week, if possible. If you have watched Brothers and Sister on TV this story might seemed based on it, but I was watching the show, and it's amazing if you love family drama. But I'm not copying the TV show or ABC, but I got an amazing idea for a story, so I hope you guys like it.
