Serena has escaped the ignominy of elf-costumes and Santa's Village for the relative respectability of the information desk during her Christmas break. But she hasn't escaped the demands of Christmas shoppers, nor does she understand exactly who is behind all the tricks and pranks that have begun to plague her. To a cynical Serena, all this just goes to prove what she already knew--that Christmas spirit is dead. How can any of this possibly change when she meets up with a young man who is just as cynical as she is?

We should ask around. I bet were not the only ones they've been attacking." He crossed his arms sagely. "All that spandex cutting off circulation...and spending all day pretending to be cheerful while little kids abuse you.... It's amazing something like this hasn't happened before." -
