Jessi - this was wonderful! I loved that Lois had Supes take her to Smallville and I loved Santa! Just fabulous!

Thank you so much Jessi! notworthy This story was so funny and sweet. Even though I don't celebrate Christmas, I have always loved the spirit of the Holiday and some waffy movies and stories made about it. I can totally picture this story as a small movie.

Aww, Clark as Santa flying Lois in a sleigh-what could be more magical and help heal past Christmas hurts of Lois' than that-amazing. I certainly agree with Carol how awesome it was that Lois said without missing a beat that she wanted to go to Smallville.

The end of course under stars, was ever so romantic and sweet.

Thank you again for both writing and posting this for me!

Jessi, this is absolutely adorable! I am glad that your lovely beta gave you the courage to post it! wink

You did a great job of incorporating all of the requested elements, and I really love that of all the places that Lois could go, she had Superman take her to see Clark. Awwwww. laugh

Very sweet! I love how all the Kents together heal Lois and her spirit. The best part for me was the image of Clark by her side introducing her to friends and then when she saw him as Santa.

Funny how she knows its him in one disguise but not the other.

Such a sweet story. Of all the places Lois could go, she choose Smallville. The best choice ofcourse wink

And I loved the kiss at the end!

ah, Jessi, Jessi, how I wish you would write more!

This is such a wonderful story - it's sweet, it's amusing, it makes you feel all good inside. *happy sigh* You really need to come up with more of these. I know you can!! Just, you know... sit down and write. *giggles*

Thanks for sharing this beautiful little tale with us. It certainly did wonders for my spirit. smile

Beautiful fic, Jessi. Interestingly, an important part of this vignette is how Clark fools Lois with his dual identity. But instead of irritating me, you make me feel for Clark very much. He wants to be with Lois is his Superman persona, too, but he feels unable to:

Quote
A look she couldn't quite read came over his face before he shook his head. “I should get going.”

“Right. Of course. You probably have something more important to be doing,” she agreed quickly, hoping she didn't sound too disappointed.

He gave her an almost regretful smile, then passed the blankets into her arms. “I hope you have a wonderful Christmas, Lois. You deserve it.”
On the other hand, he is absolutely delighted that Lois has come to spend Christmas withhim, Clark Kent:

Quote
Jonathan's welcome had been just as amiable as Martha's, and Clark had seemed thrilled to see her. In fact, up until a couple minutes ago, he hadn't left her side.
He was thrilled to see her... he had flown her out himself, though of course in his own eyes he wasn't himself when he was Superman, but it's not as if he could be surprised that Lois was in Smallville... and yet he was thrilled to see her. That's adorable.

Lovely fic, Jessi!

This was a wonderful little story! I was totally captivated from the very beginning. You had such sweet and charming banter between Lois and Clark and the whole story gave me warm fuzzies.

I hope to see more stories from you. thumbsup

Very nice. I still can't get over (being quite happy about it for sure) that most fanfic is so wonderfully in character (unlike those books I read).

Speaking of which, *this* possibly is my favourite quote from the story:

Quote
Not only was Lois Lane surviving a holiday party, but she was enjoying herself. It was a true Christmas miracle if there ever was one.

What a treat! Lois, left all alone, gets the chance at an uninterupted night with Superman, and what does she choose to do? Go to Clark! I could just picture the warm atmosphere in the Kent household too. Perfect holiday fic.

Aw, shucks. I really wasn't expecting such positive feedback for this thing. blush

Carol, not only do you write me tons of stories, but you start a FDK thread for me, too. Thank you!

Lara! Hey, I finished this story in less that ONE MONTH! You should be proud! laugh I do hope to be writing more. You make it all possible! I don't think this one would ever have been posted if it wasn't for your encouragement. goofy . I had actually done a lot of thinking about Clark fooling her with his identity in this one. As a matter of fact, I had originally intended to write in a revelation, but there just didn't seem to be room in this quick little fic. Those revelations can be quite messy sometimes. It means a lot to me that you enjoyed my work, though. Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback, Laura!

nepenthe - Wow, your first post was FDK for this? Thank you for the great comments, it's things like those that keep me wanting to write!

Andreia, glad I made you smile! laugh

Hi Clarkie! Those books are pretty bad, aren't they? You'll definitely find a lot of better reading on these boards (and I'm happy you think mine fits in that category)!

Mercy, thanks for the FDK! If I could go anywhere in the world it would be to Clark, too. wink

Thank you again to everyone, you really know how to inflate a girl's ego!
