This Christmas she’ll have more than her stocking stuffed…

I hate Christmas, loathe it, actually.

So why am I sharing the last bed in a storybook Christmas town with a romance cover model… dressed as a slutty Santa?

I’m so glad you asked…

You see, I was planning to skip Christmas altogether.

No gifts. No guilt. No forced Christmas cheer for me.

I was supposed to be nose-deep in a book with my toes in the sand figuring out my trainwreck of a life.

But then my flight had to make an emergency landing… and as luck would have it there was only one room left–and you guessed it–one bed too…

So now I’ll have to endure the next twenty-four hours of my annoyingly charming and insanely hot, Christmas-loving roommate as he tries to woo me into admitting that maybe I don’t hate Christmas after all.

No matter how much I resist.

But when he reenacts my favorite scene from my smutty Christmas book I may just sit on his lap and tell him anything he wants to know.

I mean… everyone has their vices, right?

“You know, it would probably do you some good to roll with the punches a little more. Things have a way of working out, but you just have to trust they will.”

Why can’t I just be one of those people who accepts help? Why do I feel like I need to crawl on my knees over broken glass and hot coals to feel like I’ve earned something? Who am I really trying to prove myself to?

“Miracles happen all the time at Christmas so long as you’re looking for them.”

But that’s not how life works and what I’ve come to learn is that success isn’t possible without its loyal companion, failure.

They go hand in hand because success doesn’t happen in a straight line. It’s the ebb and flow and constant iteration of ideas, making little tweaks and changes along the way. Success is recognizing failure while it’s still early and pivoting into something better.
