Santa’s Little Helper by Sloan Johnson

Why do I hate Christmas? Oh, let’s see… my mother loved it and said I destroyed the Christmas spirit when I dared to kiss my boyfriend under the mistletoe. And yeah, it hadn’t been my best moment, but that still didn’t justify what she did.
Then, there’s the fact that my boss, who’s also an ex, is planning this huge proposal and I have to be the good friend, listening to all their plans.
As if that wasn’t enough reason, I work in the mall. Every day, I get to deal with people who think their lack of caffeine is somehow my problem. And yeah, I work in a coffee shop, but that doesn’t mean it’s my fault they’re caught up in the Christmas hype.
People say I’m a Grinch, but there’s really no reason to change.
That is, until Kelly stumbles into my life, determined to make me feel the holiday spirit. He’s nothing I ever dreamed of, but quickly climbs to the top of my Christmas wish list.
