12 days of Christmas Bonanza

Day 10. Christmas Tree. – Every year we went out to my uncle’s farm and chose a pine tree to cut down as our tree that year. It was a long drive and always cold, but when we got there, the log cabin was always warm and inviting and had a crackling fire to take off the chill. The cottage property was large and full of many trees needing to be thinned, so we would walk amongst the silent pines, sometime watching a chipmunk scatter over the top of the fresh fallen snow. The silence always amazed me, and the deep green of the pines as if they refused to die even in the worst of temperatures.

We would choose a tree, and my dad and uncle would cut it down and together we would hike it back to the cabin, and finally tie it to the top of our car. That night we would drive home, sleepy, full stomachs and with Christmas tree presents on our mind.

They say once in a blue moon you get the chance of a lifetime, and this was that blue moon.

A strange Christmas letter appears and the forces of nature begin to pull three very different women into a Christmas adventure that will change their lives forever. Macy Kennedy is a hot-headed powerful lawyer in Manhattan who is used to getting her own way, but this Christmas nothing goes as she planned.

Her fiance dumps her via text message, and her dreams of true love and a Tiffany diamond ring crumble around her…again.

It seems as if things just couldn’t get worse when she receives one last Christmas card with news she never expected. Now, she is forced to go back home to the small town of Kissing Bridge she has avoided for over thirty years.

She bribes her loyal secretary, Samantha, a sweet pretty girl with scars she never talks about, and the firm’s maid, Naomi, a woman with a secret gift, to drive her through the blizzard up to the small mountain town to accomplish the sordid ordeal.

Little can they ever imagine, that a rare mystical blue moon hangs high in the sky on this Christmas Eve, and magic lives in this enchanted mountain town full of love and friendship. Miracles happen every day in the adorable town of Kissing Bridge, but nobody expected this.
