*This title has been re-edited into first person point of view, and has a new cover, but the story is the same.

Christmas is meant to be magical, especially with the arrival of our first baby. But instead of joy, we find ourselves navigating a storm of emotions. My wife Dani is battling postpartum depression, and our six-year-old, struggling with jealousy, wants nothing to do with his new sibling.

I'm head over heels for my family, but I have to focus on hockey—even if I can't shake the feeling that something's off. The festive season is spiraling, and I'm determined to bring back the cheer.

Just when I think all hope is lost, an unexpected holiday guest arrives, along with a winter blizzard.

Will the holidays reunite us or tear us apart?
