Stacey Home for Christmas (Heart)

== Summary ==
Near the middle of Heart, the story slows down as Stacey comes home for Christmas break after her first year, while the book covers about 4 chapters here to contemplate the actions of the last year and the possible future of the book and saga as a whole in small and discreet ways, with the humble sentimental charm of Christmas time. The idea for the narrative is to insert a homely break as a "calm before the storm," while the reader learns about the subtleties of Stacey's family, homelife, and backstory, to offer a warm backdrop to the main thread of the plot.
It starts with Stacey coming home and stepping through mush of snow from one or two days before. We see conversation between her and each family member and her visiting a local shop to see the owner that she knows, and seeing the news with her family. She talks with Syl over Snapchat. Another night before Christmas sees a few family members coming over, another local friend coming over too, travelling in some backwoods, talking about Wendigos and other Michigan things as they walk, and talking about the events. It ends with Stacey contemplating about everything that's been happening, and with a third "weirdness" event, possibly another dream, to foreshadow later events.
