One day can change everything? Hazel Carter has finally completed high-school and decides to do something that she never thought she would do: confess her feelings to her best-friend, Hayden Blake on the last day itself, with many butterflies in her stomach. (obviously!) However, her gleeful life takes an unforeseen twist that blooms a sense of hurt and anger in Hazel's heart for Hayden. And things get complicated when Hayden somehow appears to re-enter Hazel's boy-free life, one snowy Christmas Eve. Will the doors of Hazel's heart unlock for Hayden once again? Or has Hazel thrown the keys for the door far away, out of her reach? The Gift of Christmas is a short story all about the true essence of emotions, heartbreak, friendship, love and second chances, especially during the most magical time of the year.
