Today I’m on a mission to see my handsome neighbor about a cup of sugar. A metaphoric one, intended as a peace offering. When Finn told me his reason for entering the Jingle Wars competition is all to give back to his grandparents for raising him and save his family’s struggling inn, I understood so much more about who he is. He’s an admirable man beneath the gruff moodiness. I don’t want Finn and his grandparents to lose the livelihood they built by hand, or lose the place Finn grew up.
