Matthew Blick is pressured into taking his five-year-old niece, Hannah, to see Santa at the mall so she can tell him what she wants for Christmas. Matthew has been relatively grinchy since finding his boyfriend in bed with another man years ago, and although he no longer has feelings for his ex, the holiday season just reminds him of the betrayal. It turns out that Hannah wants her Uncle Matthew to find a man to make him happy for the holidays, and Santa knows just the man for the job. This story was pretty short, and I just don't feel like the characters were fleshed out all that well. I never really understood why Matthew was so upset about the holiday season if, as he claimed, the feelings he had once had for his ex are really water under the bridge. Yes, I still get stupidly sentimental about my first serious girlfriend around the holidays (and other times of the year, or when certain songs come on the radio), but I will be the first person to admit that I still love her, even though we haven't seen each other in years and years. There was also a very insta-love feel to this story. no reviews | add a review
