I’m the one and only Keeper of the Christmas Star, the Curator of the Crystal Forest, the one Witch in all the world with the ability to give the Christmas Star the special Brown Family whammy-abracadabra-hocus pocus to light the way for Santa’s yearly sojourn…And I have a broken leg that just won’t heal. We’ve tried everything. Magic doesn’t work. My healing powers are no good. Even the great and revered Dr. Bombay, Doctor of Witches extraordinaire can’t get that pesky bone to knit itself back together. Did you know that a Witch can’t ride her broom with a broken leg? Well, I’m here to tell you – it’s a fact and it sucks.As if things weren’t bad enough, Edgar, my frumptastic-but-lovable Familiar, a rather cranky one-thousand-three-hundred-and forty-seven-year-old Christmas Elf swears I’ve been cursed. Can you imagine? Me? The fantasticness that is Ella Elizabeth Brown cursed? It’s just not possible.But…There have been an inordinate number of spiders lurking about my little cottage in the woods. I have been a little more klutzy than usual.And my daily phone call with my cousin, Molly was highjacked by the Dragon of my dreams and it did not go well.Could Edgar be right? Could someone hate Christmas so much that they’d curse the Keeper of the Christmas Star just to keep the jolly old Elf with a bowl full of jelly from making his yearly ride across the sky?Well, that just won’t do! This a mystery that must be solved. My leg has to heal. I have to get the special cookies that keep Santa from gaining weight baked, cooled and iced. And the list goes on and on and on.Time to pull out all the stops, whip up all the Magic, and swallow my pride. I need help and it comes in a great big package with wings and gorgeous golden and red scales. Christmas is not an option, people. It’s the most wonderful time of the year! I’m gonna need all the hope and faith and love you can send – and a helluva lotta luck to get that star twinkling, Santa on his way, and that Dragon right where I want him.Hold onto your stockings, my friends. This is one Holiday story you don’t want to miss.Another hilariously amazing addition to the Dragon Guard series – the Dragon Guard Holiday Love Stories just had to be told. I hope you giggle and swoon, laugh out loud and fall in love with these sassy women and their Dragons who refuse to be tamed. Can’t wait to hear what you think of this story! Drop me a line anytime!
