St. Claws
Things are not going well for Matt Haskel. He’s lost his job and the chance at his dream home, and can't even buy the one Christmas gift his son desires. His marriage is teetering, and the last thing Matt wants to do is spend Christmas Eve with his wealthy in-laws.
But while driving there, the family SUV breaks down just outside a quaint little town called St. Claws, high in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
This last mishap convinces Matt this will be his worst Christmas ever. Little does he know just how wrong initial impressions can be. Or how consequential one little, innocuous wish can become.
Happy holidays, Matt Haskel. You’re about to find out!
After St. Claws, read the introduction to Alan Nayes’ powerful new paranormal romance, THE LEARNER.

Cuddling up with a good book, some hot chocolate and Christmas cookies!
So many traditions and events play into the winter holidays. Personally I think Midnight Mass has always been the most beautiful and spiritual moment for my family that stands out from all the secular moments.
Everyone getting up Christmas morning and preparing breakfast together.
My fav tradition is putting up the christmas tree
We have a special holiday tradition. Every year, towards the end of the holiday, we each write a page about our holiday experience … it can be anything we’re feeling, what we enjoyed, etc. Then we fold the pages up and pack them away with the Christmas tree. The next year, when we decorate the house, we open the envelope and read what we said the previous year … and we share our pages with everyone. It’s really fun!
Decorating our house and putting up our tree – it’s a full day event at our house!
We love to make gingerbread houses every year.
We host a cookie party for friends and family every year!
My favorite tradition is having all the Children and Grandchildren come over on Christmas Eve-night and open presents and then have Christmas Dinner all together
spending time with family

On Christmas eve we drive around looking at decorations
I love going out as a family in the car, popping in our Mitch Miller CD and checking out the Christmas lights.
Putting up and decorating the tree 🙂 Every year we pick a new decoration, mainly because our dogs and cat break one or two a year 🙂 I just love working on the tree as a family.
As a foodie, my favorite tradition is Christmas morning. First we let the kids open their stockings, and then we break for a yummy homemade breakfast of sticky buns. This tradition has been in my family since before I was born, and I have continued it with my own children.
