A Place Like Home. Christmas Shorts, #2

Alan only agreed to work on Christmas Eve because he spends the holiday alone. He's no scrooge-if anything he's a hopeless romantic-it's just that his best friend's complicated life means celebrating in January, when Jamie can visit. But instead of an empty house, Alan finds a surprise waiting for him: Jamie has arrived ahead of schedule, daughter in tow. And for the first time in years, Alan's delighted to be home for the holidays.
