If we'd known it was going to be this magical for Jack and Sue, we would have sent an elf to them a long time ago!!
Marlo, your story was delicious!! Christmas spirit is bouncing off my walls now!!!
And, you managed a short story!! Please don't make it a habit!!!

What? It's over already? But I was just settling in for a long winters read....sigh....oh well. Guess you kept your word to keep it short. Hope the daughter's happy. Loved it!
Now if I get Dewberry to lob snowballs at you will you do another one?

Ditto everyone!
This is a magical, moving, and simply marvelous story, Marlo.
I will read this again often during the Christmas season.
Fantastic job, I only wish it were much, much longer

When I'm back from seeing Jill, I will tackle another Christmas story ... no need to throw snowball KB2 ... unless you want a snow fight ... could be fun !!! LOL
Thank you all !!!
PS: Daughter simply rolled her eyes at me ... I think she decided I completely lost my mind

How wonderful it was to read this story all in one sitting! And that ending made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I especially loved the glimpse into Sue's past--it was heartwrenching, but the way you resolved it was just beautiful. Thanks for sharing this!
