The idea was to follow this group of friends over each Christmas beginning when they were eighteen. The idea was to write short stories each Christmas, thus one year passing between each installment as they go to university, find careers, get married, start families. And I am going to stick to that formula, but I don't think I have another Christmas story in me at the moment. So more than likely, it won't be until next year. Thus, they would 21 then. I know I make the rules and can do whatever I want. I could follow these friends outside of Christmas, but Christmas is my favorite holiday and I like the idea of getting to know them at Christmas only. I'm already breaking my rule taking them outside of Glacier Bay. This year it was PineCrest, close to Glacier Bay but not inside it. And the next one, I'm planning on them cruising around a tropical place on a boat. I can't break the age rule. .
