Christmas Quote by Kresley Cole
““Jackson asked, “Where’d the water come from in your house?” “A pipe.” Then he explained to Jackson, “Water travels in pipes.” Jackson pushed up from his spot against the wall, clearly reaching his limit of patience. “You hit your head or something, boy?” “Jackson, please.” Another scowl from the Cajun. Then he muttered to Selena, “He’s slower than Christmas.” “Christmas,” Matthew began grandly, “is . . . slow.””
