Woo hoo! A Tank Christmas story! And not a Tank ending in sight. That was beautiful. Just what I need right now -- just good, waffy fun and no angst.

Ah, Tank, you made me smile from ear to ear. And after the day I've had I needed that. (I wrecked my car.) A Christmas Wish #'s 1 and 2, I decided to call it... (wait for it)... A Christmas Wish 3! You do have a way with words, Tank. So without further ado... (what exactly is an ado anyway?) Ado: n. Bustle; fuss; trouble; bother. Hehe… "No, it hadn't been snowing at all. It was just Clark being Clark. He was so sweet." Awww… Isn’t he, though? "Oh, okay. That's easy. Pick the one you love." Aww… How sweet. "But if Superman came and got you, he must have told you that I was going to be all right." She used her other hand to touch her bandages. "Yeah, I'm a bit banged up, but I'll be okay in a few days." Her mouth twisted into a grimace. "Except for where Betty the Barber decided to shave off most of my hair just to allow them to put in a few stitches." Haircut! Happy Birthday, Tank!!

Yes, happy birthday to one of the veterans of LC fandom.  I wish you a happy birthday, Arrogant Worms style.
I think, therefore, I get bananas.
When in doubt, think about time travel conundrums. You'll confuse yourself so you can forget what you were in doubt about.
What's the difference between ignorance, apathy, and ambivalence?
I don't know and I don't care one way or the other.

Happy haircut - ah, birthday. Birthday is the word I was looking for. Nice story, and what a way of getting her hair 'cut'. Poooor Lois! Couldn't you do a haircut for Clark, for a change? Hehe.

Delightful Christmas revelation Lois certainly had to pay a price for getting her Christmas wish! And then when she gets it, all she can think about is her revenge: She no longer had to beat herself up over her inability to choose between the two. Now she could take that frustration and turn it into some righteous anger directed at Clark. How dare he keep this from her? She was sure he had some silly excuse for not telling her, and she supposed that she'd have to eventually forgive him. But she certainly wasn't going to make it easy for him. Hilarious. And so very Lois Lane. Thanks for a fun morning read.

Lois thought that his belly seemed to shake... kind of like a bowl full of jel- . Don't go there, girl. This is a Santa with a bit of an edge to his personality! I like him. Nice revelation. Loved this. Thank you, Tank, and happy birthday!

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.

Loved it. Loved the exchange with Lucy and the one with Santa. Love the banter re: frauds and butt-covering. Happy birthday, old man.

Thanks to all for the kind words.
I'm sure that the archives contains many Christmas fics that have been written over the years for those of you who need to check some more of them out.
I know that I've written three or four myself.
Thanks again.
