A collection of three holiday short stories. Miracles of a Recently Fallen Sprue: Paxton Peterson's favorite day of the year is his annual Gay Boy Christmas dinner. He's checked and double-checked his to-do list, because nothing stresses him out like the unexpected. Confident everything will run smoothly, Paxton embarks on his yearly snowshoed hike through the Rocky Mountains near his home. His perfectly planned evening is cut short by Logan Charles's careless enjoyment of his brother's snowmobile, and Paxton is stranded in the woods. It's the worst thing that could've possibly happened to him-or maybe the best. Hope is the Thing with Feathers: Fifty-six-year-old Samuel Phillips is all alone on his small farm in the Ozarks, with nothing but a menagerie of chickens, pheasants, turkeys, and other birds as company-which is just the way he likes it. In fact, if Samuel had his way, he'd tear down his neighbor's house so his solitude could be absolute. One day Faloola, his favorite turkey, escapes, forcing Samuel to make the trek next door. When Raymond Webber-sixty-seven-answers the door as naked as the day he was born, Samuel doesn't know whether he's more annoyed... or attracted. The two men are opposites in every way-Samuel is serious, while Raymond believes in free love and herbal relaxation. The weeks leading up to Christmas are rocky to say the least, but some holiday spirit might help them get past their differences.... Teddy Bears: Other than working the front desk of a gay bathhouse in Denver, Brian McKay is a bit of a recluse. At the best of times, his social life consists of work, role-playing games at a local toy shop, and making YouTube videos with his Teddy Bear hamsters. The arrival of the holidays-with the annoying music, Christmas shopping, and all the reminders of how he disappointed his father-just reinforces his reclusive nature.When James Olsen, a gorgeous daddy bear who frequents the bathhouse, notices him, Brian is at a loss. He's not proud of his own bear status or his struggle with weight. The idea that James has interest in him beyond an easy hookup is more than Brian can fathom. But with a little bit of holiday magic, James might help Brian learn to accept Christmas again-and himself.
