Single mom, local postmistress, and one-fourth owner of a failing auto repair shop are all the reasons I've remained planted where my roots began.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHideaway Harbor is layered in love for the holidays, enticing visitors to the coastal area for a seasonal respite, so thanks to an unpredicted blizzard, it's no surprise when a stranger plows into the town's welcome sign.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat is a surprise is when he's suddenly-and rather reluctantly by me-an extended-stay guest in my home thanks to no vacancies in town, some pesky matchmaking, and candy cane martinis on a Monday.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere's something vaguely familiar about this new visitor. The combination of snow and tinsel colored hair. The well-trimmed matching beard. The laugh lines near his coal-colored eyes. How good he looks in the color red. He's thoughtful and kind, and has a flair for the holiday season, which makes him most likely to make the top of Santa's good guy (with a hint of bad boy) list.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter some disappointing news concerning the holidays, the hap, hap, happiest time of the year isn't feeling so spectacular. But my houseguest's presence builds a snowstorm of emotions in my chest, making my Christmas wish a transfer to the naughty list . . . with him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnfortunately, there's a mystery behind his origins, and he has \"not-staying\" written all over him. With places to be before the calendar flips to December twenty-fourth, he'll soon be gone, and I've encountered this heartbreaking, lump-of-coal sensation once before.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo matter how short or sweet his visit, there's no doubt about the magic we make together, leaving me to wonder if love is the greatest adventure we take.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e L.
