Christmas is my favourite time of year.

With the crisp air, baggy jumpers, mulled wine, the festive atmosphere, and the scrumptious food; what is not to like?

It's a time for celebration; the one day the world comes to a stop and families come together.

It's a day in which magic happens.

This year, it's mine and Jaxon's first Christmas together, and I want it to be perfect for him. With plans to visit with family, I want us to start a tradition we will cherish for years to come.

But Christmas with the Carters is never a dull affair, and it seems life has other plans for us.

When the snow falls…

When the light dims…

Everything is about to fall apart.

And I'm not sure the Christmas magic can help me.

But maybe, just maybe, my dad and crazy uncles with stories from their past, can.
