The first story is by Victoria Alexander is "Promises to Keep". Katherine is a lonely 70 year old who sees Santa at a department store. She is 70 years old and has many regrets in her life, including the loss of her soul mate in 1942. Suddenly she finds herself swept back to that very point in her life that she always wished to change. She gets a real second chance to make things right this time. But is it too late? Is he still there? Sandra Hill’s story is called "Naughty or Nice". It's a journey through Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, following a young woman, Jessica, through her 'Christmas Curse'. Jessica is dressed as Santa and is about to commit a crime, when she takes a hostage who coicidentally looks just like Brad Pitt who is also dressed like Santa. The two find themselves experiencing 'love at first sight'. The third story, by Dara Joy, is called "Santa Reads Romance". A female romance writer, May, goes to Maine and rents a cabin in the middle of nowhere to work on her book in peace. A blizzard begins and a man dressed as Santa shows up at her door. (He is a publisher doing a favour for a friend, while trying to find a mystery author and his overdue manuscript.) May knocks him out, thinking he is dangerous. Then they are stuck together, because of the howling blizzard. The last story is by Nelle McFather. It's called "A Gift for Santa". This is a tale of a single mother who finds true love and happiness on Christmas from a stranger named Nick.
