Aww. I was so expecting a guilty-looking Clark to show up at the door. But now I see why he didn't look quite guilty. I loved the presents, including the revelationous.. revelatory? gift certificate. I like the mistletoe bits, too.  Beautiful!

Aw this was just perfect! I am glad Lois told him and showed him how she felt before he told her he was Superman. Very sweet Christmas story Wendy. I loved it! Laura

Soooo sweet. I'm adding this one to my 'Christmas binder'. It will be added to my pile of stuff that will get my butt into the Christmas spirit or something. AHHH - The Habs just won their game and I got to read a waffy story.  Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've converted to lurk-ism... hopefully only temporary.

OMG. Is this the same author that tortured me through 21 parts of 24 Hours? Hard to imagine. Not that I'm complaining, mind you. But that was so sweet I can hardly stand it. From the "dinner for friends" to Lois's obsession over presents to the revelation. What a great Christmas idea! And I'm so happy this came to you

Hi, Great story!

Don't like Luthor, unfinished, untitled and crossover story, and people that promises and don't deliver. I'm getting choosy with age.

*siiigh* I'm a massive puddle of WAFFed-out gooeyness. This was just perfect. So sweet, so true to the characters, so very, very satisfying! It was the perfect little Christmas fic. It made my night. Chriscy

If she had to move heaven and Earth, perhaps come back to haunt Perry and explain the story after they'd killed her, she would do it.

Sweet, you did good Wendy  I was curious, sitting on the edge of my chair after the first part and having read the second one too, I'm elated! There have been many stories in the past where my reaction to Clark telling Lois his secret was some kind of disappointment (notice: in Clark, not in the writer) but in "Lonely This Christmas" it's different, maybe because it's focused on friendship and love. *sigh*

What a wonderful ending to a wonderful story. I really enjoyed Lois' first-person POV here. I'm normally not very taken with first-person POVs, but every once in a while, it's nice to take an intimate look into one character's point of view. I have always been so fascinated by Lois, who is my favourite character in the fandom, and it was wonderful to be given a glimpse into her state of mind here. Beautiful gift choices, well-executed revelation, scrumptious WAFFyness all around. I admit to feeling a little distressed upon seeing Ann's comment on the FDK thread of the first installment, especially since I didn't catch the posts that have now been consigned to oblivion. I have been reading your work in the archive for the past couple of weeks and have made my way through a large majority of them. They've given me a lot of joy and so I selfishly hope that your sabbatical will truly just be a sabbatical and not an exit. That said, what a beautiful story to leave us with as you go on your break from writing in the fandom. Thank you very much, Wendy. Happy holidays.
Chris

Ah, thank you for not leaving me hanging, Wendy! This was wonderful. Sweet WAFFy goodness, all the way through. PJ off on vacation...

He grinned at her - a goofy, Clark Kent kind of a grin. "I have a gift for understatement."
"You can say that again," she told him.
"I have a...."
"Oh, shut up."

Hmm... I would have liked him to be more guilty. Well, Wendy, you know how much I HATE his lies!!!  So, when I think back of this story, I'm going to remember it for the first part rather than for the second. But then again, I really, really loved the first part of it!  Ann

Aww...so sweet! What a gift. 
I'm a firm believer in the fact that God doesn't put any more on us than we can bear. He does however make us come to Jesus every so often.

I read the last part with such a stupid grin on my face... <g> Not good because I was sitting in a library, but whatever. Paused to make some pained expressions and move to the edge of my seat when Clark worked hard on digging himself a grave. The boy is an expert at doing that! Seriously. The smart thing to do would have been to come to her as Clark and tell her everything. But no. Lunkhead. <g> /me positions some mistletoe over Lois and Clark Well done, Wendy Totally WAFFy and had me in a puddle! You should have seen me sitting there grinning <g> Julie

Lovely part...lovely story.
The way Clark told her and the way She reacted were great.
Lois kissing Clark that way and telling him she loved him was the best.
You always make me feel something special with your stories, thank you a lot for that and MERRY CHRISTMAS.
