    About this ebook

    Eeek! Christmas! Even if you live in the North Pole with Santa, it doesn't guarantee you'll love Christmas. Just ask Snowbella. She despises everything about the season--the too tasty candy canes, the wily elves, the mouthy reindeer, the stinky smell of pine trees and so on and on. Then one impossible night, her closed heart is forced open by the deep meaning of Christmas. Funny, quirky, and eye-opening--this tale is full of laughter as well as tears. An unforgettable Christmas story full of warmth and chuckles for the young and mature alike.

      Tis The Season To SLOW DOWN

      Oct 22, 2020

      This is my favourite time of year. I love everything about it: the twinkly lights, the sprigs of mistletoe, the smell of satsumas. Last December I was told to nibble a carrot and claim Rudolf had been feeling peckish. Hell, I’d nailed Santa’s brandy,

      Preface

      You probably think you know everything there's to know about Christmas. How can you not? You've probably been celebrating it all your life.

      Please believe me when I tell you that there are a few mysteries left about it. A few surprising secrets that'll shake you like a candy cane in a reindeer's mouth or a bobble doll on Santa's sleigh.

      You'll see.

      Chapter 1

      Rumors, gossip, and downright lies are said every day about certain people. You may have even suffered from this yourself. You may be a victim of people's misunderstandings of you and their forked tongues. Lies have a habit of growing and growing until the truth is well hidden. You must keep this in mind when I tell you this story:

      Snowbella, Snowy to those who know her, is really not a bad person despite everything that is said about her. She's not a horrible person. I'm sure you've known worse. She's not a creepy- creature as the elves like to call her. She's not a gi-normous razor-sharp icicle as the snow monsters say about her. She's not Snowy-ugly as the reindeer have nicknamed her. Yes, she's somewhat bratty and rude at times. But if you knew her circumstances, you wouldn't be so apt to judge her so harshly—maybe you'd understand her, even a little bit.

      Don't listen to any of the life forms at the North Pole—especially the reindeer. They'll only tell you their version, and it won't be pretty at all. The reindeer in specific will really ladle the thick hot chocolate on. And you know reindeer—they gossip at a drop of a hat! I mean, every year, and I do mean every year, Santa has to scold them when they return from the gift distribution because their tongues start wagging almost as soon as the sleigh stops! They love to brag about how they were the ones to go with Santa on the special night, and they even make up stories of bravery. Don't judge them too harshly as they are only trying to define their purpose in the North Pole. But don't believe everything they say—especially about Snowy. I'll tell you who she is so you can judge for yourselves.

      Don't worry--I won't underplay her defects. I won't lie to you about her. But I'll give you a full picture instead of just a partial one like the other creatures in the North Pole would.

      First of all, there's no way around it, Snowy hates Christmas.

      Yes, you heard right.

      While it's a known fact that most children
