Annie Prudhomme never expected to be back in Marietta, MT
and her family is fond of reminding her that she left them
and the town behind in search of better things. A
humiliating divorce that cost her everything she’d gained
has driven her back home and her family isn’t about to
welcome her back into the fold. She’s in town to rebuild the
old home that she inherited and to move on once again.
Carson Scott never forgot Annie or the way she left. Now
that she’s back in town he’s realizing that the old flame
still burns hot but he can’t risk his heart the way he did
last time now that he has his son to think about it. Being
trapped together during a December snowstorm gives them a
chance to rekindle their romance but is Annie back for good
or is she just looking for a cowboy for Christmas?

I remember the big family dinners when I was younger - good times - and at Christmas, instead of leaving cookies and milk for Santa, I would put a stack of Christmas records on as mood music for him. My grandfather had a huge collection of classical music and opera records, which I loved. (Felicia Ciaudelli 1:31pm November 4, 2013)

Christmas Eve we get to open one gift each. (Mary Preston 7:00am November 5, 2013)
I love a Homemade Christmas, and mine is filled with memories. My tree consists of ornaments that I've made over 30 years ago. There are a couple of ornaments that I made with my Mother, who passed away 11 years ago, and I make sure those are always on my tree in her honor. I also keep my Mother's memory alive by baking the cookies that she was known for. I'm the only one in our immediate family that bakes any of my Mother's recipes, especially since she's passed away. The cookies are time-consuming, but I love to bake anyway. I make as many dishes as possible during this time, as well as during the year, to keep her memory alive. It seems like we only lost her yesterday, and Christmas is so special to me. It's my favorite Holiday to pull out all the stops!! (Peggy Roberson 10:26am November 5, 2013)

We have a few traditions for our family Christmas. One is to go to the movies on Christmas Eve. When we come home from the movies, we all open just one present. Mom and dad have veto power over what can be opened. On Christmas morning some presents are unwrapped. Santa brought those. He doesn't have time to wrap all of the presents he gives out. Another one is to go to Waffle House on Christmas morning. My husband always tips really well, because we all feel bad for anyone who has to work that day. (Sandy Fielder 11:39am November 5, 2013)
There so many holiday traditions in my family. The best was Secret Santa. On Thanksgiving after dinner we'd all throw our names in a bowl and then pick one. Well, the laughing and giggling started with the first "I got myself" and the drawing could go on for hours! Then each person would buy their Secret Santa a gift for Christmas Eve. The gift always had a theme...funniest, handmade, etc. (Vennie Martinisi 12:00pm November 5, 2013)
