  Even when the rambunctious elves put icicles in her shoes or when they filled her hair mousse bottle with whipped cream, they didn’t freak her out like the Worthingtons had.

  When Snowy hugged her parents and grandparents, she squeezed them so hard that they hiccupped large bubbles of cinnamon and clove.

  “You’re the greatest family!” Snowy kept repeating. “It’s the best Christmas ever!”

  She meant it even though she hadn’t opened a single Christmas present yet. After being with the Worthingtons, she appreciated what she had a lot more. All the money in the world couldn’t buy the powerful love she had all around her.

  “Merry Christmas!” Snowy started bellowing out of pure happiness.

  “Yes, Merry Christmas!” Santa joined her enthusiasm. “Happy holidays to all!!!”

  Epilogue

  Now, I hate to say I told you so, but do you remember when I told you that people are much smarter than dim-witted snow monsters and have the incredible power to change?

  Well, boy was I right even if I do say so myself!

  To Snowy’s and Alma Aurora’s great relief, the Worthingtons transformed their lives like a plain song transforms itself into a melodious and shimmery Christmas carol. All the members of the Worthington clan finally tore down the ‘Worthy of being a Worthington’ banner in their heads, ripping it to shreds like an elf rips and demolishes the wrapping to a new, more modern pumpkin spice aromatic tool set. Eben Worthington stopped avoiding blizzards of reality and baking spoiled cookie dough fiction stories in his mind. Instead, he dedicated his whole starving heart to his family. London Blair bravely quit the reality show that had made her so ridiculously famous and started eating fabulous food again. Stewy got to play not only catch but full-fledged baseball with his now doting father. Elvinia Worthington went to rehab where she took a tough reindeer stand and told Eben that she refused to be what he wanted her to be. From now on she would be who she wanted to be!

  This sounded great to Eben Worthington who was making quite a few Christmas tree-like alterations in his own life. He changed his business structure to one that strongly resembled Santa’s ‘fun at work but still getting it done’ one. He raised salaries, gave more benefits, and created better working spaces where his employees were appreciated and thrived at work instead of dreading it, instead of grumbling like reindeer.

  Eben Worthington realized that all the incandescent love and positive energy around him was much better and much more powerful than the flimsy power of greed.

  As Snowy says, “Wow!!!
