Have a Hygge Holiday

Niall is having second thoughts about spending the holidays with Josh. If Josh's sweet nature masks the fact that he's a spineless pushover, Niall doesn't want a long-term relationship with him. Guilt—an annoying voice in his head—agrees, telling him to end it before Josh gets hurt. But then Niall sees how Josh has turned his apartment into a cozy, inviting nest for winter, based on the Scandinavian tradition of hygge: curling up with good food, candles, music, hot drinks, family, and friends.

Niall decides to stay, telling himself he'll discover the real Josh when the two of them are together for a week, but two become four when Niall's Christmas-crazy parents show up on Josh's doorstep, and four become five when Josh's father arrives to celebrate the last night of Hanukkah. The two sets of parents clash over decorations, food, and public displays of affection. Their bickering drives Niall crazy, as does Josh's calm acceptance. If something doesn't change, Niall will walk away from all of it, including his future with Josh.
