description: A story from the Dreamspinner Press 2017 Advent Calendar collection Stocking Stuffers.Dear RuthIm not in the mood for Christmas. After a romantic relationship went up in flames I returned to my hometown in rural Kansas. Then my mother passed away. Im really busy with my job as fire marshaland now with my mothers advice column which I reluctantly took over. Theres a sexy newcomer down the street a guy with a young daughter and an unfortunate disregard for fire safety. He seems to want to be friends but that creates problems that may be too hot for me to handle. The last things I need right now are flammable holiday decorations and too much holiday food. How am I supposed to give good advice to others when I cant seem to get my own life straight?Bah Humbug in Bailey Springs
