Charlie The Santa Clause Novels & Stories

"All of us." Charlotte hesitates, looking down, then up again. Then she breaks into a smile and sucking her lips, nods. Taking two steps towards Klempner, she says, "Happy Christmas, Father..." She swallows. "... Dad. Thank you for the gift." For the space of a heartbeat... two... three... time stops... Then Klempner wraps his arms around Charlotte and kisses the top of her head. "Happy Christmas, Jenny." She rests her head against his shoulder for a long moment, then pulls free and jabs a finger at his chest. "But you have to wear the sweater today." She turns to James, then Michael. "You two as well."

" He came to see us last Chrismas though, so it hasn't really been that long since we last saw him," That was true but he just dropped in, stayed for about one hour and then hopped back on the road , heading back to his precious child-free life. What a loser! " He didn't even bring you guys presents," I chastised with a scowl. " He's not Santa Claus. Why would he bring presents ?" Charli laughed, a rare action in deed and I almost wanted to bring that up but chose not to. All I could do was salvage the moment in silence.

CHRISTMAS DINNER SONG PLAYED: IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK MORE LIKE CHRISTMAS — Micheal Buble. ~LAUREN'S POV~ I paced in my parent's living room, straightening the already perfectly arranged cushions for the fifth time. My mother bustled around in the kitchen, humming happily as she prepared her famous lasagna—the special recipe she only made for important occasions. "Lauren, honey, stop fidgeting," Mom called out. "You're going to wear a hole in my carpet."

Olivia asked, and I chuckled. “It's way past your bedtime, missy, and you're still up.” She frowned at that, so I tried to lighten up her mood: “But you'll see tomorrow; he's still gonna be here. He's not going anywhere, remember?” That seemed to lighten up her mood and give her something to look forward to as she nodded. “Come on, let's get you two ready for bed,” I murmured, taking both their hands in mine. Never in a million years would I have predicted that day would go the way it did; if someone had told me my ex-husband would show up dressed as Santa Claus, I'd probably have laughed in the person's face.

Calvin asked when he saw how much she was lost in thoughts. "I'm fine," she told him, making an effort to smile. "I got something for you" he announced and Charlie's eyes twinkled. She seemed to come alive as she was suddenly curious about what he had gotten her. "What is it?" She asked him. "Why don't you take a seat while I get it for you?" Calvin asked and Charlene quickly obeyed. She sat down and watched him pull out a red shopping bag from behind the couch. She saw that Calvin was really taking his time. He took a seat before handing the bag to her and like a child who had been allowed to go through the Christmas presents, Charlene unwrapped her gift.

I turned to Charlie, "pack is a trigger word, when I said it, his eyes cleared and agreed with my suggestion. We walked into the kitchen and to no surprise that is where everyone is, Charlie heads for Nonna and gives her a hug, then to Luna Rose only to turn and have a plate of food shoved at her by Nonna, she smiles and sits next to Antonia and across from a girl we do not know. Charlie leans over and kisses Antonia on the cheek and then smiles sweetly at the blonde girl across the table, "hi I'm Luna Charlie, or just Charlie is fine, I'm Luna Rose's daughter." Antonia speaks up, "eldest daughter," she smiles at Charlie and Charlie sticks her tongue out at her. I sit next to Charlie with

Everyone was staring at him with……scornful looks. Granny Reed was still at the dining table, not trying to mediate. Betty came rushing towards Charlie like a mad person, and she slammed her phone on his chest! “This is what you do now??? You’re a pornster???” “Pornster??” Charlie was shocked, his brows were joined as he picked up the phone. His face immediately went pale when he saw himself, having sex with three women. Lucas leisurely stepped into the messed-up living room. It was supposed to be a Thanksgiving….for the others. But Lucas had come to this particular year’s Thanksgiving to also face-slap Charlie, ruin his reputation in the presence of his family……why??

And needed eight stitches behind her ear, which was swollen and sore. “Yay… I’m going to have an elf ear for Christmas,” Starlight said to the ER nurse. “You’d look pretty no matter what,” the woman said, smiling. “I’m nurse Charlotte. If you need anything, buzz me. Okay?” The nurse handed her the remote control. “You’ll be staying with us for a while so look for a Christmas movie…” Charlotte pulled the curtain back. “I need to keep an eye on you… No sleeping, okay?” “Okay,” Starlight said.

"They have the same party here at Town Hall with Christmas theme ... of course, people are more jolly in Christmas with Santa Claus, eggnogs, and everything ... when it snowed, the pathways get really slippery ... it's okay, I guess, but I like Halloween much better," she explained. "Maybe I'll come back for Christmas and New Year this year too," Landon said. "With your parents?"

He looked casual yet imposing in a dark cashmere sweater, the firelight catching the sharp angles of his face. "Merry Christmas, girls," he said, his voice a calm, deep rumble. His eyes slid to Ariana, lingering just a second too long on her lips before returning to Cami. "Merry Christmas, Dad!" Cami ran over and gave him a quick hug, which he returned with a stiff but fond pat on the shoulder. "Ari says her ankle is feeling better. Maybe we can go for a walk in the gardens later?"
