Jackson Noble Fir Christmas Tree Novels & Stories

Sophie stood in the middle wearing reindeer antlers and the biggest smile. "There you are! Dad's getting the tree. We have so much to do." The front door opened and Derek and Jason carried in the biggest Christmas tree I'd ever seen. Derek's eyes found mine across the room and held for just a second. Long enough that my coffee mug suddenly felt too hot. "Morning, Maya," he said, voice still rough. "Morning."

Not the stuff memories were made of, not by a long shot. This morning was different, though. This was a real family Christmas. It started late yesterday afternoon, when they all piled into Uncle Roger’s Expedition and headed to a nearby Christmas tree farm. Aunt Janet and Uncle Roger had a tradition of not purchasing their tree until the last moment, insuring it would be as fresh and lovely as possible for the actual holiday. They all wandered around the huge farm, enjoying the pine-scented air and looking for the perfect tree. Finally, they selected a beautiful, seven-foot-tall Blue Spruce. Uncle Roger did the bulk of the sawing, but they all took at least one turn with the saw, so that it

However, at that time, she had no other options, so even though she was annoyed, she still forced Mateo and Jackson to play with her. Meanwhile, a large Christmas tree had been decorated at the other end. Decorative lights illuminated the tree, surrounding it with various decorations with a gold and white theme—typical of the snow—dominated Christmas atmosphere. Once again, Mateo lost out to her. The decorations with the theme she had chosen had already arrived at the mansion, so Jackson forbade Mateo from using the ones he had ordered. It was all thanks to Rafael, who made her decorations arrive first, even though, according to information from Veronica, Mateo had ordered them first. "I can

A seven-foot Fraser Fir that was nice and full all the way around now stands in our living room with more ornaments covering the lower two feet than the upper five because, well, kids. I snapped a picture as Darius climbed a step ladder and helped Ryū put the star on the top to complete the look. His little face lit up with wide eyes when Elijah turned the lights on, and the tree glowed. This is going to be a great Christmas. I feel it.

“What else can I get you folks today? You need a wreath for the door, we have a special going on right now, buy one get the second one half price?” Immi claps her hands. “Perfect thank you, we need a few,” I raise my eyebrows, a few? “Yes, Cody one for the Lake House, one for the restaurant and the apartment so I’m thinking we need three.” Okay, whatever she wants she’s having it. “We want to look at more trees first, Mr Dixon I need one more. I’m thinking maybe for the restaurant something like a nice Scotch Pine.” “Good choice. Let me show you the selection.” Old man Dixon says and starts to walk towards another area of trees.

“Christmas without fire—how could that be joyful?” After setting up the company’s Christmas tree, I took out a lighter. The show was about to begin!

I whisper as I fall asleep. He chuckles lightly as his fingers still dance over my belly. "I love you, too, Marrallyn," he whispers against my neck. Christmas Eve morning is an overcast, dreary day with lots of snow falling. The light dusting of snow is very beautiful on the tree branches, especially the pine trees. I glance at Jason as I stand out of bed. He's still sleeping. Good. Now I can wrap his jacket and the baby clothes in a box for tomorrow. Shelbie is wrapping the gift from her and I. I wrap his present and as I was putting the silver bow on the top, I feel Jason's hand slide up my back into my hair where he scraps gently at my scalp.

Grace wears a slight smile when I glance at her for explanation. “That bag has the food,” she replies, pointing to a different one. “My family has always used natural decorations. After the holidays, we put them outside for the animals and birds.” Pulling me gently with a hand on my upper arm, Grace gestures through the kitchen window. Beyond the deck, a row of closely planted pines of varying ages encloses the yard between the barn and the farmhouse. She points to them. “The snow barrier. Those are my family’s Christmas trees.”

She shocked her brothers by hugging them both tightly, because, at the moment she couldn’t think of enough words to thank them. So, she led Jackson to the garage to present him with his Christmas present. When he opened the door, the way his jaw hit the floor was priceless. She explained, it would be his project from the ground floor up and that Dirk would help him build it. While Jackson was pouring over his gift she walked with Kaleb to the Chapel where she opened the doors and showed him his new studio. He was mesmerized by all the new equipment, and the portfolio that Deanna had thrown together of his pictures of the animals. It was around eleven when all the other families began to filt

Derek moved his hands away from my face and settled them on my shoulders, "Okay, go ahead and look." I opened my eyes and there in front of me was a Christmas tree that stood over ten feet tall. It was covered in lights, garlands, bows and beautiful ornaments. Marsh, Tasha, and a few of the other wolves stood there grinning from ear to ear. I took one look at the beautiful tree and my eyes filled. "I haven't had a Christmas tree in a long, long time. It's the most beautiful tree I've ever seen," I whispered.
