Jackson Noble Fir Christmas Tree Novels & Stories

“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.

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.

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. Derek wrapped his arms around me and hugged me from behind, "Samuel told me. I called Marsh and he made it happen."

Pearl announced. "Congratulations." The smug teenager behind the counter said, obviously hating his job. "There are a few already cut down along the barn. They are 100 bucks. Pay first. Pick one. It's comes with a stand for water. Merry Christmas." He said, not looking up from his phone. They picked the biggest one they could strap to her Jeep and drove to a store that had lights and decorations. Jim waited in the car. Pearl picked out a few things to get by and they headed back to the house. They loaded the tree in and Pearl offered Jim a beer as she turned on Christmas music. It didn't take them long to get the lights and ornaments on. It looked amazing.

He guaranteed, letting out a sneaky foreshadowing of his and K's engagement. K marched into the dining area, all-smiles as she carried the centerpiece for their Christmas table. Mike cut the trimmings and garlands from the Balsam fir tree in their backyard, while Kathleen decorated it with dried pinecones and berries. It looked so pretty, festive and Christmasy. It smelled so fresh, woody and minty, too. Nothing ever beats the scent of freshly-cut pine branches for a table setting. It just made the spread look so beautiful and organic.

Then mom and I stayed up to watch The Holiday Cottage, because who doesn’t love Cameron Diaz and Jude Law? This morning, we all stumbled out of bed around eight and headed straight to the lounge where mom and my step dad have a magnificent nine-foot Christmas tree. It is decked out in silver and white ornaments that make it sparkle and look like something out of a Hallmark movie. The presents were all under the tree, mom still hides them until we wake up. Too cute, right? Like we don’t know that Santa is a myth.

Julia I stand back and watch Riley and Nina put the final touches on the Christmas tree, and then he pulls out a Christmas angel to sit on the top. "Would you like to put this on the top of the tree, Princess?" Nina is still bouncing on her toes. I swear the girl hasn’t stopped since she found out that we had the tree.

Molly caught the door before it smashed into her friend. Hannah grinned at him. “Thanks. Bring it around to the back.” Molly held the doors as Hannah and Nicholas carried the heavy boxes out to the alley behind the shop. A large float sat waiting for them. Sitting in the center of the float, surrounded by fake snow and oversized brightly-wrapped boxes was a Christmas tree. Except it wasn't a real tree. It was two ten-foot tall plywood cutouts of Christmas trees slid into one another to form a four pointed tree. The strange part was that it was filled from top to bottom with small drilled holes.

"Where would we put it? I’m staying in a hotel; it’s not exactly convenient." "We’ll put it at my place," Jackson replied without missing a beat. "I’m definitely going to be dragged home by my brother this time around, and my parents will probably scold me. So, I might as well get on their good side by buying them something nice! They don’t need anything fancy, but a Christmas tree would make them happy. Come on, help me pick one." Emily found herself being pulled into the festive, red-and-green-drenched Christmas section, which made her feel a bit dizzy with all its bright colors.
