dragging one hand up and down his back in little circles.
Around them everyone was chatting in quiet voices, the television got turned on, and David Tennant’s voice joined the mix as the Doctor tried to save the day. Max started to snore, and Michael shifted him in his lap so he was the tiniest bit more comfortable. He rested his head on top of Max’s and let his own eyes droop.
A blanket settled around them, and he opened his eyes enough to see Jonathon tucking the blanket in on Max’s side.
“Thank you,” he mumbled.
“Happy Christmas,” said Jonathon, moving back to sit in his chair and tug his wife into his lap.
Michael let his eyes close completely and drifted off to the noises of what was now his family.

The Healing Power of Eggnog
By Jamie Fessenden
Will Sutherland hasn’t been home to see his parents in four years—not since they reacted badly when he came out. This Christmas, he’s finally worked up the courage to go home, where he’s surprised to find they’ve taken in a boarder. Ryan Bennett is just a couple years younger than Will, cute, sweet… and openly gay.
As Will deals with his jealousy of the man who’s been receiving the love and acceptance he was denied, Ryan finds himself falling for Will’s brooding good looks. But Ryan also suspects the Sutherlands may be using him as a pawn in their long-standing conflict with their son. Will this Christmas finally tear the family apart, or is there a chance they can put their hurt and anger behind them?

Feathers from the Sky
By Posy Roberts
Cal Thompson is going a little mad over the Christmas holiday, stuck in a tiny house with fourteen members of his immediate family. There’s no privacy and no boyfriend to help him cope—because Philip is still a secret, though not for long. Cal’s family knows he’s bisexual, but they’ve always assumed Cal would marry a woman and be fruitful and multiply. Just as he’s ready to set the record straight, his parents tell the family they’re selling the family house and tip this introvert’s world on edge.
Philip Sherman arrives at Cal’s family home to find his lover mourning the loss of his home, paralyzed by the abrupt and unexpected announcement that trumped his own. Though Philip takes the setback in stride, they won’t be able to avoid the calling of their hearts for long: Cal needs to reveal the truth of his relationship with Philip to his family, and Philip has a question he’s desperate to have answered.
