Crafts and Life

Every year between the dates of December 1 and December 24, a strange and wonderful insanity hits Ashton Falls. Most refer to this phenomenon as Christmas Spirit, but Zoe has been around long enough to know that spirit usually translates to insanity, which brings on a phenomenon she likes to refer to as Christmas Crazy. After Hometown Christmas is threatened when Santa is killed four days prior to the annual event, Zoe is pulled into a murder investigation with more twists and turns then the narrow road leading to the valley below.

Zoe has been roped in to help run the Hometown Christmas, and alongside it she would like to have a pet adoption (which the majority of people are in favour of – providing the space she would like to use isn't needed for anything else), just as everything seems to be going so well there are a few bumps in the road, the permit to re-open the animal shelter (which will be private and called Zoe's Zoo) has been help up, Earl (who plays Santa) is leaving before Christmas to go stay with family (well be was until he was run off the road!) and then the second Santa (Zoe's Grandpappy) is held up in traffic (caused by the accident involving Earl) and number three is killed!

Add in Levi going away with his girlfriend for Christmas, Zak having a stunning woman staying over, Zoe's dad dating again and finally the animals saved from the Puppy Mill starting to be reunited with their original owners (NOT the puppy mill owners – apparently they stole dogs for it) and Zoe has more that Christmas Dinner on her plate!
