Valerie Biel drove down Moose Hollow’s Main Street at the speed of
frozen molasses. “I can’t get enough of this!” she exclaimed. She’d
long ago come to terms with the fact that if she were going to have anyone to
talk to, then she’d have to talk to herself. Though she had a hard and fast rule
about not responding–that would push her from slightly quirky to actually
crazy.

Each shop on Main Street had a holiday window display that made her
wish she was on foot and could look closer. Diamonte’s Fine Jewelry
sparkled in the afternoon sun. They’d decorated a Christmas tree with
ornaments made from jewelry boxes, the contents worth a fortune.
The bakery’s tree-shaped display of macaroons alternating red, white, and
green was a siren’s call of sugar and bliss. She hadn’t had a good macaroon
in ages. “Put that on the shopping list.”
Up ahead, Apen’s Barbery and Beard store caught her eye. Uncle was
proud of his mustache; a new shaving set with beard oil would be the gift this
holiday season. The Longhorn Boutique was Auntie’s favorite, so she’s be
stopping in there to find a gift as well. Near the end of the street, in full view
of the stunning white church building with stained glass windows and a green
front door, was the store she’d put on her fur-topped winter boots to find: The
Christmas Shop.
So named because, inside the white storefront with the bright red door, it
was Christmas all year round. At least, that’s what their website said, and
though Valerie wasn’t prone to believing what she read online, she hoped the
reviews of this place were accurate.
“They have everything Christmas.”
“The selection is amazing, but the owner is even better.”
“It’s full of Christmas Magic!”
As a woman searching for Christmas, Valerie put a lot of faith into those
anonymous reviewers.
Over the window hung a red awning trimmed in gold. Though the shop
was several years old, the canopy looked brand new–especially compared to
others on the street.
Gold lettering proclaimed the store’s name in an old-time font–the kind
Santa would sign his name in at the bottom of a return letter–if Santa ever
wrote back. He hadn’t responded to her inquiries over the years.
She found a spot in front of Burn’s Book Store, downloaded the app to
pay the meter, did so, and then finally made her way along the snow-dusted
sidewalk. The mountain air was crisp and thin, pinching her cheeks and
making them glow red. Her sandy blonde hair lifted in the breeze. She tucked
the collar of her Sandra Spanish merino shearling sheepskin coat with
Toscana trim around her neck to ward off the chill. The black fur was soft
against her skin, and she snuggled deeper.
