Here Comes Santa Claus Sandra Hill etc. Romance

Since it is almost Christmas and the wedding is in Maine, snow is coming down mercilessly and all three are getting more and more desperate to make it there on time. Enter the Santa Brigade and Brigade’s bus. The Brigade is composed of the senior citizens of Snowden who travel all over the East dispensing Christmas cheer to those who won’t have much otherwise. Nothing ever stops that bus - certainly not a huge snowstorm that shuts down everything else. All that Sam, Kevin and Stan have to do is hitch a ride. Sort of. It’s not that easy to catch a ride.

Sam skydives his way to the bus which is filled with senior citizens and one sexy director of the assisted living facility where those senior citizens live. Sam has been trying to get back to Reba, the director, for years - she is a little less enthused about picking up where they left off. Kevin gets aboard handcuffed to Callie, the woman who has a warrant out for her arrest. Stan snowmobiles his way in with Dana.

What makes the story are the men’s emotional journeys. Their increasingly desperate attempts to get the women interested in them and the vulnerability under their macho exteriors is actually touching. All of the men have made good despite a tough start but all of the men secretly fear they haven’t. Sam, Kevin and Stan may be literally coming home but their romances are what they need to let them emotionally come home, too.
