Publisher's Summary

At 19, Nick is alone for the holidays and facing reality: This is how it will be from now on. Refusing to give up completely, Nick buys a Christmas tree, and then realizes he has no ornaments. A bare tree and an empty apartment aren’t a great start, but a visit from his friend Haruto is just the ticket to get him through this first, worst Christmas. A box of candy canes and a hastily folded paper crane might not be the best ornaments, but it’s a place to start.

A year later, Nick has realized he’s not the only one with nowhere to go, and he hosts his first “Christmas for the Misfit Toys”. Haruto brings Nick an ornament for Nick’s tree, and a tradition — and a new family — is born. As years go by, Nick, Haruto, and their friends face love, betrayal, life, and death. Every ornament on Nick’s tree is another year, another story, and another chance at the one thing Nick has wanted since the start: someone who’d share more than the holidays with him.

Of course, Nick might have already missed his shot at that one, and it might be too late. Still, after 15 Christmases, Nick is ready to risk it all for the best present yet.

Holiday Delight

Take a winter stroll through the village where you'll encounter quaint shops and found family. Nick's first solo Christmas isn't exactly how he envisioned, but with the help of friends paper cranes and candy canes a tradition begins that shows the true meaning of Christmas.
