A story from Boughs of Evergreen: A Holiday Anthology
FROM ALL OF US TO ALL OF YOU
by OFELIA GRÄND
Simon is counting the days to Christmas, not because he likes the Holidays - no, he hates them. He dreads every single holiday ever created, but Christmas it the worst. As if his dad's drunken snores and his mother's faked Christmas spirit isn't enough, his sister has decided to celebrate Christmas elsewhere this year.
The stress and anxiety drive Simon crazy. When he is introduced to a work colleague's son, Hannes, he mistakenly believes he's been set up on a blind date. Even after Hannes sets him straight in his assumptions, he keeps seeing signs that shouldn't be there. Is Hannes lying when he says he isn't interested or has the Christmas stress finally driven Simon mad?

ABOUT BOUGHS OF EVERGREEN

Themes of family, friendship and romance take readers on a journey through some of the major holidays, both past and present, including Thanksgiving, Advent, St. Lucia Day, Hanukkah, Saturnalia, Winter Solstice, Yule, Christmas and New Year. In each we find at the very least hope, and often love, peace and happiness.
