"That's what Christmas is all about, isn't it? The spirit of giving." Kiki nodded as she watched Santa pass out the gifts to the children, one by one. "It sure is." Children squealed with delight as they opened their gifts. At that moment, Kiki didn't want to be anywhere else. She and Evelyn spent the rest of the evening watching the children open gifts until they could hardly hold their eyes open. When the last gift had been passed out, Santa gathered the children around and read A Visit from St. Nicholas, better known as 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. A few minutes later, Abby approached Kiki, her eyes drooping.

she shrugged while she looked off into the distance before continuing, “things are far too complicated to entertain such emotions now. So, no. I no longer have those feelings for Peter. He’s all yours.” I practically choked on my tea at her last sentence. “What do you mean, all mine?” “I’ve been around you enough to know the difference in how you react to men. Other than that dreamy sheriff, I’ve never seen you so animated and bubbly. Your face, no, your entire body illuminated when you were speaking to him. Come on, Vickie, don’t even try to tell me that you don’t find him yummy.” I grinned and sipped at my tea. “That obvious, huh?”

She's having the same reaction to chickpeas as Katrina at nearly the same age. “How are you sure it’s the chickpeas?” Delilah asked as she entered the room, holding Christina on her hip. Christina was now dressed in a long sleeve onesie that said ‘My 1st Christmas’ with a red and gold snowflake tutu with red and white striped leg warmers and a matching headband keeping her dark hair out of her face. I don’t remember that one, so my son bought it for the girls. He does love filling their closet with new clothes.

Jennifer chuckled and retorted mockingly, "CEO? Do you really think she became CEO through her own abilities? Without Jeremiah and me backing her up, she's just a useless loser." Charles looked at Jennifer in disbelief. His eyes were filled with shock and anger. Annoyed by the noise, I told the bodyguards to drag the two of them farther away. I crouched alone by the seaside. The winter wind blowing from the ocean was icy and piercing. Little by little, I scattered Noelle's ashes into the sea. I said softly, "Today is Christmas, Noelle. It's also the day you were born. I'm letting you return to the ocean."

“Because there's far more to this holiday, not to mention the Christians stole it from cultures far older. They twisted it and it became what you see today. The celebration of joy for a prosperous year, the slumber of gods as winter solstice begins, bonfires, decorating with holly, mistletoe, evergreen boughs, ritual sacrifices, feasts, and gift-giving have been replaced with debt, envy, and disparity, all hidden beneath fake smiles and disingenuous cheer.” She laughs, “Well shit! Merry fucking Christmas to you!” We both laughed. I extended my hand, “I'm Damon.” “Ana,” she replies as she takes my hand and shakes it. “I'm one of the creators.” She's interesting for a halfling. I wonder if she

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.

I just need to survive until I can escape. December 10th. He knows I'm planning to leave. I don't know how, but he knows. Last night he made me drink wine at dinner and I woke up confused, hours missing. I think he's drugging me. I have to go soon. Before Christmas. The gala at the upstate estate will be my chance. I'll take the car, drive to the city, and meet the investigators. I can't fail. Too many people have been hurt by what he's done.

"Well, for 'Pride and Prejudice', Elizabeth Bennett refused to let go of her preconceived notions of Mr Darcy. Mr Darcy on the other hand, was too prejudiced against those of the lower status. Undoubtedly both of them had numerous character flaws. Elizabeth was too proud, lacked manners and Darcy was immersed in the division between factions, the rich and the poor. He thought everyone was after his money and couldn't see past that fact." "Whoa, well done Ms Charleston," Alyson said as she gave a round of exaggerated applause. "When did you become so studied in the art of literature?" She smiled at me as if welcoming me to the flock. "It's called listening, Ally. You should try it sometime,"

A week later . . . Chastity had arrived in New York last night. She had thought it best to not to tell anyone about her new assignment in Mexico until after Christmas. She didn’t want to bring everyone down during the Christmas holiday. Chiapas was in the most southern part of Mexico. This might be the last Christmas she would spend in New York for a while – and she intended to enjoy it as best she could. It was Christmas Eve. This year the Van Dykes weren’t throwing a Christmas party. Instead, they traveled to other houses they were invited to. The first stop was the Beaumonts.
