Home For Christmas
Can Connor show River a real Texas family Christmas?
When Connor finds River perched on the roof of the campus admin building, drunk and shouting into a snowstorm with a bottle of vodka in hand, getting him down is the easy part. The real challenge begins when Connor insists that River come home to Texas with him for Christmas.

He didn’t want to fall in love with the larger-than-life Campbell-Hayes family. And yet, he does.
From one Christmas to the next, this is Connor’s chance to rescue River—and himself. Along the way, there are mistakes to make, hearts to heal, sparks to ignite, and love to discover. For Connor, showing River what it means to belong to a family isn’t just about Christmas—it’s about forever.

I love the snow during the holidays , but can do without it the rest of the year.
Snow? Hated it when I was working and had to figure out how to get to work when nothing was running. Now I’m retired, I’d quite enjoy seeing some snow, but I live in a bit of Gloucestershire that seldom gets any. Everywhere else in the country can be white as anything – here, meh!
Oh my gosh I really need to read these rancher books!!!
Okay I live in Canada so it’s a love hate relationship but overall I love snow especially the fluffy kind
I’d be perfectly content to never have to drive in snow again.
Yes, I like snow- the first storm, anyway! Now I’m retired, so I don’t have to worry so much about driving in the cold stuff. I love watching it snow while warm inside! Heh, with warm tea… Like today, for instance. 5 inches and counting!
I live in New England and we tend to get a lot of snow. I like just enough to make it look pretty 😊
I do t really like it as I get a chill just looking at it.
I love the snow!! When we have it for Christmas – which is generally never. After Christmas I’d be okay with a dusting of snow to make everything look pretty.
I like snow to look at through a window when it’s fresh and white! (My feelings might be a little different when I’m out in it.)
Happy holidays to all who see this!
I love snow. so much, that last year my husband and I move 5 hours north of where we use to live so that we would get some. It’s snowed 3 times already this year and it’s only the beginning of December.
As a child, I loved snow. Now that I am older, and have to clean up two long driveways, I could do without. I always wish for a white Christmas. I would be good with cleaning up six or eight inches just once a winter. I like watching the snow fall at night, but that joy only goes so far when I have to wear three layers and end up looking like the Michelin man when I go outside to clean up.
If I’m inside by a roaring fire with a warm beverage, watching the snow falling outside and I don’t have to go anywhere near it? Love snow. If I have to step foot outside for even a minute, I absolutely detest it!
We are in the midst of an extreme drought, so I would love to see more snow!
I love to see the snow falling but hate driving init and shovelling it.
I do like snow, just not too much. A couple of inches is fun, but above like 5 is just a mess.
Love the snow (in moderation). Living in Colorado, lots of snow in the mountains where it is needed. But where I am, it snows and is pretty much gone by the following week. Fine by me!
I can’t stand snow. It’s cold and wet and makes my arthritis pain especially in my hands. We just got dumped on overnight and it’s still coming down. A good 5 to 6 inches so far. Then it’ll freeze just to make it worse. Not a fan of snow.
I love snow but I commute into Central London and then it’s hell on earth. Ideal snow scenario would be Friday morning (my day off) to Sunday night and by Monday we are back to normal.
I love snow if I don’t have to drive in it
Ah, snow…
It’s perfect when it’s big, fat, wet flakes that you can watch drifting down from inside a warm house with a mug of cocoa.
It’s perfect if all you have to do today is catch up on a good book.
It’s perfect if all you have to do is bundle up, go outside and go sledding, or tubing, or snowman making before heading inside to warm up by a cozy gas fireplace with a big mug of cocoa and a good book.
Ah, but snow…
It’s less perfect if you have to head out to work in the stuff but first you have to unearth the car from mounds of it.
It’s less perfect if it was a rain/snow mix first so after you’ve brushed off the inches of snow, you then have to scrape off a thick layer of ice from all your car windows.
It’s less perfect if all the crazy drivers ahead of you have forgotten the basic rules of how to drive in snow and have iced up the pavement at every intersection cause they’ve been thinking that using their brakes on slippery stuff is the way to go. (Helpful tip: They aren’t.)
It’s less than perfect if you’re indoors at work all day so you can’t enjoy it but still have to unearth your car, again, to try to get home safely. Only to get to do it all again tomorrow.
It’s less than perfect when you have to shovel your sidewalks, again and again, AM and PM each time snow falls so you don’t wind up with a citation from the city.
It’s less then perfect if it sticks around long enough to turn grey and dingy and hard and still cause headaches on the road.
I guess you can say, I love the romance of snow but don’t love the hard work that comes with it.
I admit to having a love/hate relationship with snow. It’s so beautiful to watch while it’s falling. Once it has stopped and everything looks so pristine is such a thrill. The way snow muffles the sounds outdoors gives me the sense of being entirely alone in a glorious wonderland. If only that were the case on my 35 mile drive to work. I’ve lived in Vermont and Massachusetts, two northern New England states, so I understand how to drive safely on snow-covered roads. It’s the other drivers that make me nervous by driving so slowly that they cause accidents when people try to pass them, but there are also the drivers who think four-wheel drive vehicles are immune to winter road conditions and just keep driving like the roads are completely dry. Four wheels can spin out on ice just as easily as two wheels can.
Living in rural America, I have always tried to be prepared for power outages/power cuts and have multiple ways of cooking, heating, and lighting my home in the event of any short or long-term loss of services. I actually look forward to it sometimes. Using some of the old-fashioned methods our great-grandparents used can make you feel really good about your ability to care for yourself and your family. Try googling “Aladdin mantle lamp”. They have been around since the beginning of the 20th century and are still manufactured and used today.
So, yeah. I’d say I’m definitely a fan of snow. Love it!
I LOVE snow! I do hate driving in it, but I’m a homebody anyway so I don’t have to anymore lol. But I loathe warm weather and sunlight, so give me gray, cloudy skies and rain or snow any day. 🥰 TYSM!
I think snow is Romantic in movies and in books and I like the idea of visiting snow but I will be honest that I never want to shovel snow or live with snow for too long. I am at that age where extremes are not fun on the body and I already have to deal with extreme heat so I will pass on the extreme cold. We do need some snow in the mountains though since we live in a drought state.
Wishing everyone Peace, Love, Joy and a little extra kindness along the way 🙂
I live in a very temperate area similar to London, in that the foothills and mountain ranges around us get gobs of snow, and meanwhile we’re lucky if snowflakes even stick to the ground before instantly melting away. It does make me a little sad, because I love being snowed in – a crackling fire, a hot drink in hand, two cats sprawled indolent before that fire, and a new book waiting on my lap.
But if I must drive in the snow, fuggedaboutit! Reckless drivers scare the beejeebies out of me and I’d much rather call out sick and build an army of tiny snowmen.
I would probably be happier with a shorter snow season here in Canada, but I would put up with it as long as it wanted if it never came with ICE. I also prefer when it’s not -30 (although, to be fair, it’s not usually actively snowing at that point). Gently falling snow is very pretty, and I do enjoy a white Christmas very much.
I leave to look at snow once its fallen, it makes the world look so pretty. Unfortunately I hate the after effects of snow I.e slush and ice.
I don’t enjoy snow at all! Even as a child I didn’t like playing in it.
I think it can be beautiful, but it’s just so cold!
My husband and I retired, and what did we do? Move to the “snow belt” in northern Michigan. 😵💫
Hopefully in the future we’ll live somewhere warmer!
I love snow. Wish I could get more of it during the season.
As I live in a place that doesn’t get a lot of snow (BC coast), I love snow!
I love snow as long as its from my bedroom window😆 I do prefer the cold over warm and snow is very beautiful. So yes I love snow ❄❄. Happy Holidays 💗thank you
Love snow! 😍
Not a big fan of snow. It’s pretty until your freezing your butt off shoveling it.
I don’t like anything about snow. It’s cold, a brute to shovel and a pain to drive in.
Ah snow-wish snow itself was warmer. Lovely to look at, heavy to move. My favorite snow is the big fat fluffy snowflakes you want to have land on tongue and eyelashes. Should be confined to a 2 week period IMO
I love the snow, especially now that I have someone to plow and shovel for me.
no I don’t love snow
I grew up in New York. Skiing every winter. Now I live in Florida and haven’t seen snow in person in years.
I love Texas Snow! It melts so fast I don’t have to shovel!
As a Food Historian, I find that snowy weather gives me the perfect excuse to indulge in pot pies, big breakfasts and extra helpings of dessert! After all, one must keep on a few extra pounds anyway in colder weather; and bulky winter coats cover it up.
Not a fan of snow.
I’m a spring/Summer girl, & I HATE snow lol
looks pretty on tv, but that’s all for me
I like snow (snowball fights, building snowmen, snow angels), just not having to layer up to prevent the freezing cold (but my ears end up freezing anyways lol) and icy paths (I dislike slipping and hurting my butt)
I have romantic ideals of snow because I rarely experience it in Northern California! Of course, I get cold easily, so maybe I should just swoon over snowed-in romances…
I love snow…. when I don’t have to go out in it. I grew up with lots of snow and cold, and I HATE the cold. And having to walk in snow or drive through the slush that snow becomes is a chore I’m glad I don’t have to do more than a couple days a year now! (when we visit family over Christmas break)
only ever seen snow oce in my life….wasn’t very fussed 😛
I prefer more temperate climes lol
I love the snow, just can’t wait ❄️
I love looking at the snow, but I don’t want to be in it cause I don’t like to me cold.
I like snow, it’s always special when the first snow of the year appears in little flurries… But I hate the cold haha
I love snow, preferably admiring it from the inside
I love snow, I find it magical! And since it is rare in our area, I don’t even mind having to clear it.
Happy Holidays everyone!
I am enchanted by watching it snow but I have no desire to be out in it at all luckily it doesn’t snow much in Atlanta GA
When I moved from NYC to San Francisco, my excuses included the belief that one visited snow, not the other way around. After 28 years in the Bay Area where the “unwelcome visits” were limited to the tops of the surrounding foothills, I switched coasts to Florida and expect snow only during travels.
