Wendy,
Yes, the description of how alt-Clark sees Christmas makes so much sense, and is wonderfully written.
His despair is such a necessary prelude to what I hope you'll do quickly, yet gently -- the way I expect from you.
The end of this segment shows a gentleness and kindness that was so lovely.
Bringing love into a life that has been so bleak and lonely, and bringing such a wonderful man into Lois' life takes a softness and concern that is so perfect for a mid-winter's tale.
Can't wait.
Barb.
