A Present Christmas by J.P. Bowie

[reviews_and_ramblings]

This is the classical Christmas story and it's very nice, sweet and tender.

Bill is a nice guy that is passing a bad period: he lost lover, work, home and car only days before Christmas. All these events together are a bit too much for Bill's self-consciousness and he feels like the worst man in the world. He can't be open to possibilities even when possibilities have the nice smile and the warm behavior of Tom, the guy he meets every morning at the coffee shop. Then one morning a nice old lady, Agnes, decides to take Bill's life in her hands and she finds a work for Bill as Santa Claus in the big store in front of the coffee, the same store where also Tom is working.

Day by day, Agnes helps Bill to regain hope in the future and to enjoy the Christmas feelings in the air. Actually she is not doing anything special if not give some good advices to Bill and lead him toward the right path. Tom was just in Bill's life, but probably without Agnes' help, Bill would let go without giving a try.

The story is really simple, a nice guy, Bill, maybe only a bit shy, who meets the love of his life under Christmas, a period when everyone is more willing to believe in miracles. Tom is really a good guy, maybe not actually a knight in shining armor, but really close; without Agnes' interference, maybe Tom would be a little less forward with Bill, since in this moment he has other thoughts in his mind, but with Agnes' help he realizes that he, with a little effort, can have Bill and at the same time resolve his other business problem.

So no drama, no sadness, only two nice characters and a nice Christmas love, and also some very nice sexy scenes. And I don't know, but Christmas stories setting in a New York department store always have an old fashioned style.
