Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears.

Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

Hook up with the irritating hockey player living downstairs? I would never do that. Fall in love with his sexy online alter-ego, on the other hand… well, that was just by accident.
