CHAPTER 1

Cecilia had waited an entire year for this night. She couldn’t believe it was finally Christmas Eve. Her favorite night of the year simply because it was always wonderful reconnecting with her best friends, Symone and Camille. Although she was born a witch, Christmas was her favorite holiday. Maybe, it was because there were times her job as a necromancer could have some real Debby Downer moments. Yes, she still experienced overwhelming joy when two loved ones were reunited because it wasn’t his or her time. But lately, she had been getting some weird requests. Like the guy who wanted to bring back his pet crocodile, so he could murder his wife and feed her to the beast. Um... Not only no, but hell no. Then, there was the woman who wanted to only revive her husband's penis. Not her husband, but his penis because she wanted to take one more spin on his poll. Yeah, not happening in this lifetime or the next.

It didn’t matter how spooky she made the front of her house look, they just kept on coming. You would think a Zombie’s hand rising up out of a grave would deter them a little. She definitely needed to reconsider Symone and Camille’s suggestion and get rid of the candy. Now that she had gained some distance from the situation, it did seem more inviting than scary. She’d have to work on that after Christmas.

But that was neither here nor there because it was Christmas Eve. The air was filled with hope and Christmas cheer. No one was begging her to bring back a loved one from the dead tonight—at least not yet. Even though she had heard it all over the years, there always seemed to be one person who managed to surprise her with their over the top request. It wasn’t always easy being a necromancer, especially during Halloween. But like every other witch in the world, she had accepted her gift and rolled with the punches. It just seemed lately, the punches were coming faster and harder, which made it difficult to catch her breath at times.

However, tonight, she wouldn’t dwell on the past or the dead because once again it was Christmas Eve. A time of hope, joy, and magic. A night where anything was possible. She had been planning all year and couldn’t wait to see her friends’ faces when she told them what she had in store for them tonight. She just hoped they would be as excited as she was, which was saying a lot because she was pretty darn excited.

She had already conjured up the perfect Blue Spruce Christmas tree that was currently sitting in front of her bay window waiting to be decorated. She had decided to go with a new Christmas tree theme this year, which incidentally coordinated with her favorite Christmas ballet, The Nutcracker. If she were being honest, she had always been infatuated with the Sugar Plum Fairy. There was just something about the character that was so majestic.

While most people decorated earlier for Christmas, like before Halloween and definitely after Thanksgiving, she still preferred to wait until Christmas Eve. Not only did it make the moment feel more special, but also less commercialized. Although she looked thirty, she was much older and remembered when Christmas was more about the love for one another and the time spent together than the presents. Unfortunately, things change over the centuries and it made her a little sad to admit that she too had fallen down the rabbit hole of receiving, or in her case, conjuring up materialistic gifts. Yet, with every holiday came a renewed sense of hope that she would get back to the true Spirit of Christmas.

Before Cecelia could finish her musings, the doorbell rang. Swinging open the heavy, mahogany door decorated with a wreath the size of Manhattan, she screamed at the top of her lungs with joy when she saw her two best friends standing on her front porch. Quickly hugging them, she smiled and said, Come in. I can’t believe you’re finally here.

Symone looked gorgeous in a short, red, sequined dress with white faux fur at the top accentuating her voluptuous breasts. She had a matching red, sequined Santa hat, and a killer pair of red Gucci leather knee-high boots with faux fur. Her boots had a four-inch heel that would have made any Fashionista proud. Her short black hair framed her beautiful mocha face and to finish off her ensemble, she wore long black gloves that went up to her elbows. There was only one difference between them and the ones Marilyn Monroe would have worn back in her hay day. Her friend had cut
