Winx Christmas Novels & Stories

I laugh, he has definitely got me there. “Christmas in July but,” I pause, “then I don’t watch them until the end of October. Who doesn’t love Christmas?” Then I realize what I said and recall that during our marriage, Xander was never a Christmas person. Sure he had a tree up, that he had the decorators come in and deal with, and he gave me a present each year but there was no sitting around the tree being like a family. He would give me the present in the morning then say he had more work to do and hide himself away in his office.

“Yeah. Come celebrate with me and Scars and Keira. Wolf will be there too and a few other guys, I’m sure. Kansas said something about coming over, and maybe Jinx.” “But – you don’t even know me,” Jo said. “Isn’t Christmas for family?” “Jesus Christ, woman,” Zoe said in mock exasperation. “Haven’t you been listening to a damn word that I’ve been saying?” “Ummm… I think I have.”

NAILA’S POV A cold gust of wind brushed past my face, ruffling my hair as I pushed the door to the cabin open, the hinges creaking as I stepped inside. Finally. Warmth. The room smelt of wood and the lingering smell of ashes. Just what I needed for a Christmas holiday. Snow brushed against the fogged up windows, dimming the cabin as I collapsed onto a cushion, wrapping my coat tighter around my slender frame. Seven freaking hours on a plane. One whole hour of paperwork to confirm that I had rented out the cabin for Christmas. Still boiling over the fact that I lost my only job and had to start over. What I fucking needed right now was a nap and some peace ofㅡ

He suddenly grabs Ruby’s coat and points violently at the window. Then at me.Then he draws the same symbol in the air as before: A circle.A crack.A falling star. Aunt Ruby pales. “No. No no no. That symbol again—” Noelle smiles. “He’s trying to warn you. Isn’t that sweet?” Mom rounds on her. “Warn us about what?!” Noelle doesn’t blink.“He’s awake.” My heart stops. “Who?” She leans in until I can feel her breath. “The Winter King is fully awake now. And when he awakens…” She sighs dreamily. “He remembers.”

“Get on with your job, Hailey, so we can go home.” Xander turns his head away and pretends to busy himself by checking the stage. While he was busy trying to figure out what to do with the design, I took it upon myself to search the internet for some inspiration. Since the prom is going to be held in the winter, Leo uses Winter Wonderland for the theme. “Hey, Xander. Check on this.” I tap on his shoulder and show him the screen of my phone. “Why don’t we use this one as inspiration? Wilting white tree stumps topped with fake snow should be a good contrast with the darker background.”

filled the room, which were Christmasy but not overly sentimental. Michael loved the tinsel and wore a lot of it on his head. As Melody placed a handmade wreath that Michael had created the year before in preschool on the tree, the little boy flung a handful of tinsel at her, and before she knew it, they were in a three-way tinsel tossing war. By the time she and Reid both surrendered, the room was covered in tinsel, and none of them could stand up straight from laughing so hard. Melody had decorated dozens of Christmas trees in her lifetime, but she honestly couldn’t remember ever having so much fun in the process.

Something fun and distracting and completely ridiculous. “I have an idea,” I announced. Christian's fork paused halfway to his mouth. “Your ideas scare me.” “Rude but fair. Hear me out—what if we celebrated Christmas?” “We're werewolves.” “Werewolves can't have holidays?” “We have the Winter Solstice ceremony.” “Which is beautiful and traditional and involves a lot of standing still in the cold. I'm talking about Christmas. Trees, lights, presents, cookies—” “Why would we bring a tree inside?” Christian looked genuinely confused.

“Don’t say that, Winnie.” Chris suddenly gripped Winter’s hand. He drew in a deep breath, forcing down the surge of emotion inside him. The effort made the veins in his neck stand out. The scene from New Year’s Eve came back to him with painful clarity. They had released a sky lantern together. Back then, he had lost Mrs. Xander Sr., and Winter had been driven out of the Xander family. “May we meet again, year after year.”

“You should have gone for the vacation though. Christmas is always fun, with or without you.“ Rita replied as they all joined in decorating the trees. Xavier was in charge of fixing the string lights around the house as Rita baked cookies for them all. *** Mr. Anderson had called all of the kids, including Xavier for their Christmas presents. Isabella was the first to receive hers—a pink dress and a matching bow with a large teddy bear almost twice her size. She screamed aloud in excitement as she tore her package open. Bryan was the next. Xavier marveled at the spotless puppy he took out from his gift box. He thanked his father as the pup wiggled its tail at Xavier, who admired its cuteness
