she whispered. After 11 weeks, on Christmas Eve, Alice went into labor. She had to have complete bed rest so my niece wouldn't come into the world too soon. According to Manu, the two were climbing the walls, but sex was strictly prohibited after the risk of miscarriage. And they followed all the recommendations exactly, because Alice held on until she was 38 weeks old, when her water broke and she felt the first contractions.

but not here. Richard listens to all this, his face intent, but he chuckles, shaking his head ruefully. "Yes, and last Christmas was no picnic either, was it? You three hunted by Klempner´s men and, well, getting my offices attacked and set on fire wasn´t exactly my first choice from Santa." He gives her a long look. "I imagine that Christmas when you were a child, in the Blessingmoors Home, was nothing to celebrate either?"

“I’m game. And pass me that pie.” Amber found she enjoyed Donny’s company. It helped lighten the mood, but his father was right about his talking through most of the movie. But she didn’t mind as she’d recently watched Miracle on 34th Street with Leo anyway. It helped put her in a better mood for sure. She was even finally feeling some of that Christmas spirit even though it was technically December 26th. Doc watched the film off and on, but his main focus was his patient of course.

“I’d be lying if I said it hadn’t crossed my mind. I don’t want to leave Mum for too long, though.” “Fair enough.” It’s a beautiful evening. The white Japanese wisteria that Mum grows against the wall glows in the semi-darkness, and its sweet scent reminds me that the hot days of January and February are just around the corner. Christmas Eve never fails to make me feel like a boy again—those memorable days when Saxon and I were seven or eight and Damon was only six, and we all still believed in Santa. I can remember one Christmas in particular, when the three of us decided we were going to stay up late and try to catch Santa delivering our presents to the end of our beds. We didn’t of course

“Remember in seventh grade when I asked you out, and you told me ‘not even if you were the last boy in Mississippi’?” She groaned, hiding her face. “Let it go.” “Never. That was my villain origin story.” “You’re insufferable.” “You love it.” She smiled up at him. “Yeah. I really do.” Christmas Eve was loud and messy and perfect. Harper’s house was packed with extended family—her cousins screaming over board games, someone burning the dinner rolls, off-key caroling and someone’s aunt insisting everyone wear reindeer ears for a group photo. Jaxon fit in like he always had. He helped Harper’s dad in the

But tonight, exhaustion mixed with a restless heat low in her belly, making her shift uncomfortably. "Dory, still at it? The reindeer need their rest, and so do you." Santa's voice boomed from the doorway, warm and gravelly, like a hearth fire. At 50-something in appearance but timeless in spirit, Nicholas Claus filled the frame, broad-shouldered, belly rounded from centuries of cookies, his white beard trimmed neat, eyes twinkling with that knowing glint. He wasn't the jolly myth; he was real, weary from the endless rush, shoulders carrying the weight of a world's wishes.

He is the crime Lord and I knew very well that he was the one teaching Pete all those mischievous things he did but even at that,we always enjoyed his stay because Uncle G was very very generous with his cash…unlike aunt Caroline who was the stingy queen. Later that night,we began to hear bands and musical instruments playing loudly down the street and we immediately knew that it was the Christmas Carol that was announced in the church that day. We were so excited and wanted to join but didn't know how to tell Dad. It was already half past eight at night and him letting us out by that time was all on miracle but we still gave it a trial. “This is Christmas and it's just once in a year, let's

So instead of screaming, she said softly, “Yes, Mr. Alton.” She finally clocked out at 9:14 p.m. The night air outside was freezing, the city glowing with Christmas lights and careless laughter.
