Virginia – Thanks! I’m glad you loved it. blush Please see my response in your Christmas Challenge thread. As far as getting more Christmas stories, I’d bet by this time next week there are plenty of them to savor.

Lynn – It’s not just having a spare hour, it’s also having even a half-baked idea to write about. More and more these days, I don’t seem to have much to say. frown Thanks for the mini-beta. I had actually caught that one and fixed it before you posted, but I must have done it while you had the story open. laugh

Laura – Hey! Here’s hoping I get all the kisses I want this year. <fingers crossed> I can cross you off my list now. wink

TEEEEEJ! – It’s so awesome to see that you’re still hanging around! I’ve been meaning to email you for ages, but I’m terminally lazy. Does thinking about you count at all? sloppy

Lois: You know, I have a funny feeling that you didn't tell me your biggest secret.

Clark: Well, just to put your little mind at ease, Lois, you're right.
