Hey everyone! As you can see yes, I did miss the Christmas Contest deadline. However, that's a story in itself. When the idea first hit me of mixing The Santa Clause and truckers together, I thought of Wren. I knew she'd spent time on the road until health matters prevented it. Now bear in mind besides the usual exchange of comments I never really spoke to her, but you can sorta get to know someone here though the blogs and such.

So when I began this I did have her in mind and hoped she would enjoy the humor of Trucker Santa. When the news came of her making that last truck stop, I was very close to finishing. It was my intention to work on this right to midnight if that was what it needed. However the news had both me and my muse reaching for the tissues and there was just no way I could write a word more.

I decided right then that this story would be dedicated to her, and that was more important than any contest. Her caring supportive nature came across to even those like me who had never spoken directly to here.

So here it is and hope that where ever she's flown to Wren will see it and get a smile or two from it.

Hugs

Grover
