Thanks, Jana! And I don't mind it a day early. Who can turn down early presents?! wink

I love this story. I like how Lois remembers her past Christmases (and what sad Christmases they were! frown ) and the list that she turns in. And then Clark makes some of it come true just by being there. Aww. Great! clap

I love this, Jana - very nicely done. A sweetly poignant letter from Lois, and the perfect response from Clark. thumbsup

Nicely done. Sweet and waffy.

I need to go and take more meds.

Jana, this was wonderful ... I really loved it. I like the idea of Perry asking his writers for such a list and I really like what you have Lois ultimately write. Very poignant and insightful. Really nicely done.

And Clark's response was, of course, perfect.

Awesome job.

Thank you all for the feedback. I'm glad to know this story was well received. It was my first attempt at a holiday fic, so I was a bit nervous. I just wanted to respond to a few specific comments... smile

Karen, I'm glad you enjoyed this. Hope your birthday was great!

Thank you, Wendy, Jose and Kathy. As either of my BR's on this could tell you, I was very nervous about writing anything supposedly written by Lois. I really debated with myself on whether or not to even attempt the letter part of this fic. I'm so happy to know you liked it!

Oh, yeah. Sorry about that, Tank. Hope you didn't suffer too much from the sugary parts. wink

Aww.. so sweet, poignant, waffy and just perfect...<big happy content sigh>

I think this is a perfectly good example of just how different we all are: how our past, memories and experiences are so different, and we grow up secretely still wishing for things we were robbed of to have in our childhood.

And when that moment finally comes, when our childhood wishes finally come true, they're often granted in the most unexpected ways. wink

Great job, Jana! thumbsup

ps: Happy belated birthday, Karen!! party


Such a little thing really, a kiss...most people don't give it a moment's consideration. They kiss on meeting, they kiss on parting, that simple touching of flesh is taken entirely for granted as a basic human right.

Oh, this is a good point! One of the things I always enjoyed about the show itself; Lois & Clark (and the various other characters for that matter) have very unique backgrounds and past experiences. Maybe we all kind of fill in the blanks for one another.

Thanks again, Pel!

Jana
