Stranded Christmas
River Allen
I’m a modern day nomad, a drifter if you
will. I've been on my own since I was eighteen, wandering from town to
town with my trusty guitar and singing to get by. This type of life
isn't for everyone, but it's all I've ever known. It's a pretty sweet
gig. The downside is spending the holidays alone.
Well, this
Christmas, I refuse to let the season get me down. I’m headed for the
Big Apple, where I’ll greet the New Year with the ball drop. However,
destiny has other plans. When I break down in Sweetville, I end up
stranded for Christmas.
The residents of the quaint town
welcome me with open arms, and I discover creating roots doesn't have to
be scary. Especially when Max Clark comes to my rescue and makes it
clear I'm not leaving.

What I want for
Christmas is something I doubt even Santa can accomplish. My life is
great, but it's missing the woman to make it complete.
I'm a
small town guy with simple needs, but this sleeping alone night after
night, is getting old. That's why I toss a quarter into the wishing
well, asking for a little Christmas miracle. Of course, I feel like an
idiot believing in such things, but it can't hurt.
Imagine my
surprise when hours later, I get the call that changes everything. River
Allen comes barging into my life, wanting my help to leave town. I'll
give her help all right, by making her my wife.
