Description

Travis had been here at Sutton Station for just over a year. We were technically engaged, not that we'd told anyone. He was happy just knowin' I'd said yes, and I had some head-clearin' stuff to work through. Knowing I was good enough for Trav was one thing, but knowing if I was good enough to be a husband and father was somethin' else entirely. Life at Sutton Station had never been better. Business was strong, Trudy and Bacon's little baby, Gracie, was a few weeks old now and as cute as a show more button, Ma's health was good, and my relationship with Laura and Sam was in a pretty good place. And Travis? Well, life with him was still all kinds of perfect. But, to Travis's dismay, Christmas at the Station was just another day. Another day of getting up before the sun, feeding animals, fixin' what needed fixin', and checking water troughs all while tryin' to keep out of the blistering heat. And this year weren't much different. Only that it was Travis's first Sutton Station Christmas. The fact we didn't go all out with decorations and celebrations baffled him, and if I was bein' truthful, it disappointed him too. Which was why I had to make it a special kind of Christmas... show less

A short story which I thoroughly enjoyed. Sometimes Charlie's language pulls me out ~ to me he sounds more Texan than Trav, but otherwise it was a great little revisit to Sutton Station.

Reread 7 November:
For all that this is a short story, we know the characters so well that it feels complete. This was my second read of this story and I just loved it. It read exactly how an Outback NT christmas would be ~ heat, snakes, family and too much food.
Sweet story about Travis' and Charlie's first Christmas together.
Though I was a bit confused about the timeline- Didn't Charlie meet Travis' parents on the next years' Thanksgiving for the first time?
I loved the entire Red Dirt series so this gem was icing on the cake.
Yeah I ate this one up...absolutely yummy. The perfect Christmas read with one of my all time favorite couples. So fantastic to walk back into Sutton Station. It's like I never left. ❤️❤️❤️
