Ho Ho Help. Cold Fever Books

In Laurelsville, cutting your own Christmas tree is a cherished tradition-until three friends drag home one marked with a strange, ancient symbol. At first, it's all tinsel and lights. but then the whispers start. Shadows move where they shouldn't. A creature in a ragged Santa suit begins appearing in the night-its face like rotting bark, its teeth like stone. When Mr. Trudy, the town's reclusive elder, warns them about an old legend and a cursed relic hidden in the forest, Brad, Chris, and Jesse realize they've brought something far worse than pine needles into their homes.
And it's not here for milk and cookies. Now the boys must uncover the truth behind the relic before the thing wearing Santa's face claims them-and the rest of Laurelsville-for good. Holiday cheer has never been this deadly.
