Every December, the other kids torment Christmas Murphy about her name. They call her Christmas Tree and Candy Cane, and ask if her mother was drunk when she named her. It's something Chris Murphy has to suffer through every year... along with her role in her school's Annual Holiday Festival. Because she can't sing or dance, she's stuck playing an elf.
Every. Single. Year.
This year, she's turning 17, and it looks like December will be same old, same old--until she meets the new kid, a senior named Halladay. A senior who's considerate and charming, and shows no signs of intending to tease her about her name. His blue eyes have her mesmerized, and she begins to imagine the two of them as a couple.
But... he signed up to perform in the Holiday Festival. Where he's sure to see her in that hideous green felt elf costume.
Getting teased by a bunch of freshmen is one thing. Looking like a fool in front of the cutest guy in school is something else entirely.
