Keep it up, take it and always remember me... this is a sweater made from cotton from the red cotton tree, my grandmother had to leave the village and find it on Cao Lanh mountain and it took three days and three nights to complete the sweater this sweater." Celica listened while clutching the shirt she was wearing, she was moved to tears and looked at Andy with her weak expression.

Especially after Andrew gave Ciara a gift of a small beagle dog, the little girl couldn't escape Andrew's damn annoying charm. "Daddy will be ready after this, first get your pink coat in the room." Ciara immediately ran to her mom and dad's room on the second floor to get her pink coat so she wouldn't catch a cold in the Australian city, which hit minus five degrees on the second day after Christmas.

Reading quickly, she breathed. “A riddle. It opens with a riddle.” Andrew chewed his lip, reading the words from over her shoulder aloud in a hushed tone. “Don’t push her too far, or you may find your adventures to be through.

Christmas really was the most wonderful time of the year, even if this one felt a little off without Grandma Helen. She put a smile on her face and got to work, glad to stay busy to keep her mind off of what she’d lost.

When Noah Levine came back, Christmas had already passed. I'd thrown that reindeer lingerie into a street trash bin. "Babe, I left in such a rush last night that I forgot to give you your Christmas present." He pulled out a sapphire necklace and swept my hair aside to fasten it around my neck. Because he leaned in so close, I could clearly see the red marks on his neck and smell the sickly sweet perfume that obviously wasn't his. Knowing the scent belonged to my own sister made my stomach turn.

POV Emma “Put the Christmas tree more in the center of the room, love,” I said to Andrew. We were decorating the mansion for Christmas, I really loved this time of year, but we'd never had a full house on this date. It was just me and my dad, but now we were going to have a full family. Today was Christmas Eve, and I was proud of the beautiful work I was doing at my father-in-law Matteo's NGO.

It seemed as if she knew about my discovery and was playing safe. “Mommy, what is this?” Evan's voice snapped me back into reality. He was vigorously shaking a present I had just wrapped. It was wrapped in a blue polka dot wrapping sheet with a red ribbon around it. "Be a good boy or you will not get a Christmas present this year," I said, shaking his nose playfully.
