Two men. One Christmas Eve that changes the courses of both their lives. 

Henry’s homeless and only wants a warm place to sleep on the coldest night of the year. A forgotten open window in a darkened house entices Henry inside with the promise of warmth and comfort. He knows it’s wrong, but he promises himself he’ll be out before the owner wakes on Christmas morning. Except he oversleeps and the homeowner, Jim, discovers a bearded stranger sawing logs under his dining room table. When the shock and the drama that ensues dies down, Henry and Jim discover that they might have found, quite unexpectedly, the Christmas miracle they’d both been longing for—love and home.

Cat gives this one 5 Meows...

Henry and Jim are celebrating their20th Christmas. They recollect on that meeting With Henry being homeless and finding Jim's window open that Christmas Eve. 

Man oh man this story is full of feels! My heart went out to both men and I so wanted to cry at Henry's predicament and the telling of this story.  It is a beautiful story of loss, love and what Christmas should really be about. 

If you read one Holiday story this year I highly recommend this one and it's so short it takes less than an hour.

Sometimes it’s the little things that mean the most….

The holidays are a time when bigger often means better, and meals are huge, decorations are over-the-top, and elaborate gifts and grand gestures are one way to show affection. But beneath all the pomp and ceremony, after the grandiose presents have been unwrapped, the stocking stuffers are still waiting to add that final sparkle to the perfect celebration. Even the tiniest trinkets can be gems when they’re chosen with love, and like a good love story, they are held close to the heart and treasured for years to come. The festivities don’t have to end after the feasts and gift exchanges. Dig a little deeper for romantic stocking stuffers both naughty and nice.

Enjoy a tale of men in love with men every day throughout December.
