A Curvy Carol

<p><strong style=color: rgba(46 42 57 0.75)>Everyone knows that if you want to have an incredible Christmas season you go to Garland Maine where the entire town joins in on celebrating Christmas.</strong></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(46 42 57 0.75)>Well everyone except me. </span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(46 42 57 0.75)>Every year since my parents' divorce they've fought to make Christmas at their place the best. Shuffling back and forth between the two and running ragged with all the activities has ruined the holidays every year. </span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(46 42 57 0.75)>So this year I finally tell them both I'm done celebrating Christmas. And they agree on one condition: I have to show the new guy in town the best Garland has to offer this year.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(46 42 57 0.75)>I thought it would be a tedious set of tasks to show him around but for the first time I'm having fun during the holidays. Even better? I think he likes me too.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(46 42 57 0.75)>That is until I learn our arrangement wasn't just a way for me to get out of the Christmas Olympics with my parents. There was something in it for him too.</span></p><p><br></p><p><strong style=color: rgba(46 42 57 0.75)>And at the end of it all I have to wonder... Was any of it real for him or would I have been better off celebrating with my parents after all?</strong></p><p><br></p>
