Showing results for "the-field" in Holidays

Three years ago, I threw my cap in the air and left Lincoln University behind with a degree to prove I was job-worthy, a trophy saying I was one hell of an athlete, and enough experiences in love to know I'd never truly been in it. I'm successful in every aspect of my life. So why does the thought of spending a holiday with my college friends make me want to stoke the fire, curl up with a bottle or two of wine alone? Two names: Dean Costello, owner of the Brooklyn Bears professional Ice Hockey team, and Cody Warren, superstar quarterback for the New York Knights, under the same roof… again.

The halls are decked, the deck is stacked, and here comes that jolly old elf. Junior Bender, divorced father of one and burglar extraordinaire, finds himself stuck inside the Edgerton Mall, and not just as a last-minute shopper (though he is that too). Edgerton isn't exactly the epicenter of holiday cheer, despite its two Santas, canned Christmas music, chintzy bows, and festive lights. The mall is a fossil of an industry in decline; many of its stores are closed, and to make matters worse, there is a rampant shoplifting problem.

A week before Christmas, Kat’s father turns up on their doorstep and wants to be a part of her life. As far as Theresa is concerned, when Doug walked out 15 years ago, leaving her with a two-year-old child and a mountain of debt, he forfeited all claims to Kat’s life. He does not get to waltz in like Santa Claus and reclaim her.
