Emails went flying and pictures were sent.
Names were created and short stories too -
Come back each day to learn who is who!

Sydney Price is a determined emerging executive who finally gets her chance to lead a major acquisition for Chateau Cassell, a beloved champagne house nestled in the heart of the Champagne region. When she hears she has been summoned to France around Christmas as part of the negotiations, she arrives in the city of lights with a hopeful heart and ready to close the deal. Taking one night off to soak in the magic of Paris over the holidays, Sydney has an unexpectedly charming run-in with Henri Cassell, a stranger who turns one simple evening into something special. But her plans for a whirlwind romance are quickly upended when she discovers that this charming Parisian is the founder's son of the very company she is hoping to acquire. Yet, even amidst the gentle competition set by Hugo Cassell for all the potential buyers at the family vineyard, Sydney and Henri find themselves irresistibly drawn to each other, realizing that their burgeoning feelings might be hard to keep bottled up.

Lovey Hearthstring (often mistaken for a decoration, which Lovey finds very funny.) first appeared one evening while Gingersnap Hollerby was letting cinnamon rolls cool and Tinselberry Buttonsworth was stitching by moonlight. Lovey had already been there before, though no one noticed, tucked into Joy the holiday horn’s warm notes, hiding in the courage of the strong house that the wolf could not blow down, and quietly nodding along while King Pompancircumstanz of Betonitia declared merriment official. Some say Lovey once floated all the way to California to sit near Grandma while Christmas music played, and others insist Lovey powered the confidence of Tina from Zoom-bina when she became a diva at last. Rumor has it Lovey has also inspired Bluey to dance down in Makhanah and motivated Blabby to keep working towards new belts in Karate. Papa Lima swears Lovey once traveled to Uruguay and brought him fudge in exchange for chewing gum to deliver to Buttermilk.
Lovey does not argue about any of this. Lovey knows their job is not to be loud, clever, or even named correctly. Their job is simply to show up, again and again, making sure that no matter how strange, short, scientific, dramatic, or unfinished a story may be, it always somehow feels like it belongs.
Lovey also keeps Xamidirmura’s secret. Lovey knows that Xamidirmura loves to put up a facade of being all outer spacey and science-y but that Xamidirmura is really just a (HOPE)

Gingersnap Hollerby is the North Pole baker who always smells like cinnamon and good ideas. His checkered shirt is his baking uniform, and the gold star pin marks the recipe that finally made Santa say “whoa.” He believes every problem can be softened with patience, warmth, and something fresh from the oven.

Joy is a horn who only plays during the holidays. It’s her favorite time of the year and she loves to make as much music as she can while she’s able. She thinks her sound can inspire joy in even the grinchy-est, scroogey-est people!

Tinselberry Buttonsworth is the tiniest tailor in the North Village, famous for stitching gold-trim magic into every festive outfit he makes. His cheerful red skirt-pants and sparkling waistcoat are enchanted prototypes he created to test his own craftsmanship. Each December, he wanders door to door delivering “Button Blessings,” tiny charms that help families feel extra warmth and togetherness. Though small, he’s brave, and he once sewed an entire sleigh canopy during a snowstorm using only moonlight and goodwill. Every Advent season, villagers say you can hear the soft snip-snip of his scissors just before a moment of unexpected joy.
