Molly has been exploring the galaxy as a party/event planner after she found a talent for it when she ran out of cash during her travels. Now on the busy station she is struggling to control the Christmas/Winter Festival that she has been ordered to stage.

She is struggling with things going missing, high turnover of volunteers and she thinks this just might be her first failure!

Tav is the pilot/navigator of his ship and when it develops engine problems he is forced to land at the station. He did not expect to find his denya as he wandered the station. The Detyen is even more surprised when his very human denya also seems to feel the pull between them. Honora Station is developing a bit of a theft problem and security is not taking Molly's worries seriously, so Tav is taking on his denya's problems and recruits his crew and even some of his passengers to help her out.

Great short read. Filled up my lunch time perfectly! Put me in the mood for Christmas. I loves they way Molly just tried to tie up every alien winter festival she could, whilst adding a big dollop of earth Christmas/ Hanukah/Winter festivals.
