روايات وقصص ضمن Kris Kringle Year Without Santa Claus

Ah, December! The time of year when everything smells like mint or chocolate, sometimes both, you can’t get that annoying version of “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” out of your head (and let’s face it, which version of “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” isn’t annoying?), and everyone has a crazed look in their eyes like they’re trying to be happy despite the fact that you know if they remember that they’ve forgotten just one more person they needed to buy a present for, or one more social event they neglected to put on their calendar, they’re going to end up in an asylum somewhere muttering about “crack-nutters” and “rotten fruitcake” for the next few months until spring hits, and we ca

Months later Amber I've never been a big fan of Christmas. Those cheesy songs, little lights flashing everywhere, and that air of "forced joy" always irritated me deeply. And of course, after everything that's happened in the last few months, my contempt has only increased. Kris was dead. My father... well, I still couldn't even think about him without feeling a shiver of disgust.

It was the first year I didn't have a tree. We'd normally go out as a family and visit one of the Boy Scout tree lots, picking the biggest, fullest tree we thought could fit in my living room. Then we'd decorate it together, Christmas songs playing in the background, and sipping eggnog. We'd spend an eternity untangling the lights, replacing the bulbs that wouldn't work, and replacing the metal hangars on the decorations that needed them. It was an all day affair. Not this year. Not ever again.

I felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulder, though it had been the least of my problems. As a light layer of snow trickled to the ground, I shivered. My mind wandered to Christmas. It would be my first Christmas without my parents and my sister Naomi, whom I nicknamed Jules. It would be so different now. There wouldn't be a huge tree in the living room decorated with vibrant ornaments my sister and I had made over the years. There would be no sweet and spicy scent of eggnog and gingerbread cookies cooling on the counter. There would be no once-a-year "I'll love you forever Jace," from my father.

Arthur tells me. “What are your Christmas traditions?” Max asks; he’s finally back with us. “Ah, the Christmas spirit is designed for children. The joy of Christmas for adults is seeing the joy on the faces of the pack's pups. Every November, the adults come together to make an activity advent calendar for the pups. An example of this would be; on the 1st of the month, we decorate the pack land. On the 2nd, we hold our official secret Santa draw. On the 3rd, we write out our Christmas cards. On the 4th, we hold our Christmas fancy dress party, and we always put our Christmas trees up on the 13th. We include activities such as watching Christmas movies, Christmas cookie and cake baking, and a

He continues reading, then pauses, raising his eyebrows. “You’re on Santa’s naughty list,” he says. A lump forms in my throat. He looks at me over the edge of the list, the twinkle in his eye sharpening. “You’ve been a very bad girl this year.” I don’t speak. I can’t. He’s right. I was. I never bothered trying to be good, since I didn’t expect Santa to come for me this year—or ever. Clearly, he never has. “Naughty children don’t get gifts from Santa,” he adds, rolling up the impossibly long list and sliding it back into his pocket.

I said, even if the thought made my jaw tight for reasons I refused to examine. "I hope so. Anyway, we're coming up on the 18th. I'm bringing Jason, maybe. And Melissa might come for a few days. Is that cool?" "More than cool. I'll make sure the house is ready." "You're the best, Dad. Oh, and fair warning, Maya's been super nervous about this trip. She doesn't have any family, really. Her dad left when she was a kid. So Christmas is always hard for her." Her dad left. The information landed in my chest like a weight.

Yuki's POV December 23rd – Christmas Eve I was officially in a panic. Two days until Christmas and I hadn't bought anyone one decent gift. I'd been so busy—working, baking, sewing, gluing buttons onto socks because apparently Suzu's new pastime (don't ask) is now that. And now I was stuck in the middle of a mall that seemed to have Santa's whole village exploded on every inch. "Sir, would you like to buy the ballerina nutcracker? Limited edition. Spins and sings," a man in a blindingly green elf getup informed me, jiggling the silver-wrapped horror in my face.

he yelled, and I gasped, my eyes widening in shock at his abrupt outburst. “Lucien!” I scolded, my voice a screeching whisper, and he shrugged. “But it's true; you say that every year, but you never take us to see Santa, never,” he grumbled, looking away, and I sighed, knowing what he said was absolutely true.
