In Rootbound, Funny Feelings, and in The Co-op, we get to see pieces of these characters' pasts, along with glimpses of their futures. This is a book about their Christmas presents; each taking place the year following "The End." In Idaho, Tait and Henry make a last minute change of plans for the holiday, and scramble to get into the spirit. In LA, Meyer and Farley watch Hazel perform in the Nutcracker, and reflect on some of the meaning behind one of the season's traditions. Over in Santa Cruz, Deacon and LaRynn are finally slowing down after a year of new beginnings. These small stories were written as a humble thank you to everyone who has supported these books in the last year, and who has fallen in love with these characters as much as I have. I hope your holidays are all filled with reflection on the past, hope for the future, and most of all; joy for the present.
