Short, adorable and funny. Wish there was more :) ( )

This is another great Christmas story. I loved the contrast between the two main characters, who nevertheless both want the same thing: to impress their lover with a great Christmas gift.

Elliot is a fairly well off businessman whose boyfriend of 2 months has hinted at wanting an antique bed. Not one to pinch the pennies, Elliot has decided to get the man what he wants. Shawn is a hard worker who desperately wants to impress his boyfriend so he can send more time with him. Both men end up in the antique store at the same time. There is no way to decide who actually gets to buy the bed - other than a series of challenges.

I loved how Elliot (from whose point of view the story is written) gradually falls for Shawn, something he had neither planned for, nor even thought possible at his age. The solution to the dilemma is almost too convenient - but fits the fairy tale like tone of the story well. It made me laugh (with relief as much as surprise), and only added to my enjoyment of the story. A very sweet and fun read! ( )
