My Christmas Present - Toni Griffin While this is a sweet story of Lucas, who has been pining for his fathers best friend Mitchell for years and with the help of dear ol' dad actually gets his man! I do appreciate dad's ingenuity! I don't mind the 17 yr age difference, I just have to try and forget that MItchell must have seen Lucas grow up, maybe changed his diaper and babysat him...that part makes me a little uncomfortable.
