Whatever could have gone wrong last year but didn't, does this year! Ho ho ho Merry Skid Marks Christmas! and "I'm not looking forward to spending time with my mother. I haven't even talked to her since Dad kicked her out of the hospital for what she did to me. How could she be so selfish? I'm just glad that my dad and Grandma will be there to act as blockers - huh, that's a roller derby pun, get it? Oh and my new boyfriend will be there too. He's so hot... I've been sure to drop heaps of subtle - and not to subtle - hints that pancakes for brekkie are a Christmas tradition. I don't care what you think, they are so too!" - Hayley Approximately: 6,500 words. Warning: This story is set in New Zealand and is therefore written in New Zealand English.
