But I think calling him Superman acknowledges the challenges he faces everyday and she is also acknowledging the 'gift' that only he could give her, by flying her around the world to see Christmas through his eyes. She understands who the man is behind the suit, implicitly at this point. So calling him Superman acknowledges all of that, and I think means so much more. Jury's still out, but, do you agree? Or am I making a mountain out of a molehill? So, there's my little tale for the holiday season! Hope it warmed your hearts a bit! Enjoy the holidays everyone!! Reach for the moon, for even if you fail, you'll still land among the stars... and who knows? Maybe you'll meet Superman along the way.

Love this line: Quote "Oh, Martha, let me help you," Lois offered. They all exchanged looks, knowing Lois' limits in the kitchen. "What? I can do something, as long as I'm told exactly what to do and it doesn't involve any kind of... um, cooking." Quote Clark gave me this on our first... unofficial Christmas together," Great continuity there. [QUOTE"I believe in you. I believe in the love that surrounds this family. But Christmas, I don't know, Clark. I mean, it was wonderful to give those poor sick children a moment of happiness, but there is so much--selfishness, evil, in the world... I just..."[/QUOTE] Excellent point. With Lois' upbringing, it would be hard to believe in the good in the world. Even with her profession, it would be easy to become jaded. Love how Superman shows her examples of goodness. You'd think he'd get discouraged sometimes too - seeing so much evil in the world. Quote Her sadness tore at his heart, "Lois, I always saw the good in you. You had just been so battered and bruised that you needed... well, love. Without any strings or boundaries. Without judgment, without hurtfulness." Sigh. So sweet. I like her calling him Superman at the end too. Great job! Joan

Nicely done. Tank (who was still a bit disappointed that '93 Lois wasn't forced to cut her hair when stuck in '96 or when she came back after the older Lois had been there)
