I woke up this morning feeling like I just won the lottery. I'm the luckiest damn man alive. Except I didn't win the lottery, and I haven’t won Jingle Wars yet, but I did get to taste Freya and I would venture to say it's better than either of those. It felt so right, so damn perfect forgetting what we should be doing, and giving in to our need for each other.

It was past the point of no return, and I was absolutely gone for her.

But now I have to push my feelings for Freya aside and win this damn competition. The wind is chilling to the bone today, and the sun isn’t shining, instead hiding behind the clouds making everything dark, and cold. The crowd doesn’t seem to be affected by the dreary weather.

"Welcome back everyone! Day two of Jingle Wars. My, the temperature out here is below freezing but this competition is heating up! Are we excited to be here today?" Cornelius points the microphone towards the crowd to capture their cheers and applause. "Well, I for one, am glad to hear it! Today we have a very special scavenger hunt planned. A little modern day twist to our beloved Jingle Wars. Today is going to be all about social media and your way around it."

What?

My head whips to Freya who looks over at me with a guilty look on her face. Of course this would be a competition tailored to fit her. I don't even use social media aside from Facebook.

Fuck.

"Each contestant will make their way around town to various local businesses and check in, then take a picture with something they feel represents the business best for the Hollyridge Merrymaker Trail! Something that represents Hollyridge as a whole. Post in on social media and move on to the next location. There are twenty-five locations on this scavenger hunt, and you have five hours to complete your task. The person who completes all twenty-five locations and has the most creative approach will be the finalist that moves on to the next round. After this round, there will only be two remaining contestants that will move on to the final round of Jingle Wars.”

This could not possibly get worse.

“Alright folks, let's get our lists handed out to our contestants.” The host gestures to the stage hand to bring over a piece of paper. When the guy hands me mine, I see the first place on my list of businesses is no other than Ella’s Christmas store.

And it officially just got worse.

Suddenly, winning Jingle Wars feels that much farther out of reach.

I steal a glance over at Freya who’s holding her list excitedly, waiting for the host to excuse us from the stage. Unlike my sour attitude, Freya knows that she excels at all things social media. The girl was born with a phone in her hand, and a knack for marketing. Me on the other hand? I’m a simple kinda guy. I love a good cold beer, a football game, and my family.
