Christmas had been perfect for policeman Tom Hughes and his partner/lover Joey Lawrence for the six years that they had been partnered. Both had grown up in poor homes and never had much in the way of fun Christmases so they made up for it by making Christmas their special time together with a tree, presents, decorations, a big meal and celebrating in their own private way.
Now Joey was gone; lost in the line of duty and all Tom could think about was getting drunk and staying drunk until Christmas was over with. He never counted on meeting up with Santa Claus in his local bar.
Santa Claus was tired after giving out presents and candy canes all day at the nearby mall and he had one last gift to give out – a small red rubber ball – and he decided it was meant for policeman Tom Hughes!
