Thanks, Jana! And I don't mind it a day early. Who can turn down early presents?!

I love this story. I like how Lois remembers her past Christmases (and what sad Christmases they were! ) and the list that she turns in. And then Clark makes some of it come true just by being there. Aww. Great!

I love this, Jana - very nicely done. A sweetly poignant letter from Lois, and the perfect response from Clark.


Wendy

Beautiful letter, Jana

Jose

Nicely done. Sweet and waffy.

I need to go and take more meds.

Tank (who is finding it harder to keep to his chosen 'Scrooge' persona in the face of this unrelenting onslaught of sweet waffy fics that have been prevailing lately)

Aw

Jana, this was great! Sweet, waffy, and nicely done. Fantastic job, and the perfect pick-me-up

Sara [who fears she'll have to start liking Christmas, after all...]

Oh Jana, this was lovely. I think you captured Lois perfectly.

Loriel

This was lovely, Jana! Very sweet and WAFFy. I enjoyed reading it.

Happy Birthday, Karen.

Jana

A great story!
I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Happy birthday, Karen!

Tricia

Jana, this was wonderful ... I really loved it. I like the idea of Perry asking his writers for such a list and I really like what you have Lois ultimately write. Very poignant and insightful. Really nicely done.

And Clark's response was, of course, perfect.

Awesome job.

Kathy

I like your taste in music.

sorry I'm late in posting

Happy late Birthday Karen

Happy Holidays - late too

Thank you all for the feedback. I'm glad to know this story was well received. It was my first attempt at a holiday fic, so I was a bit nervous. I just wanted to respond to a few specific comments...

Karen, I'm glad you enjoyed this. Hope your birthday was great!

Thank you, Wendy, Jose and Kathy. As either of my BR's on this could tell you, I was very nervous about writing anything supposedly written by Lois. I really debated with myself on whether or not to even attempt the letter part of this fic. I'm so happy to know you liked it!

Oh, yeah. Sorry about that, Tank. Hope you didn't suffer too much from the sugary parts.

Thank you, Sara. As for liking Christmas, I think that is a perfectly nice idea, don't you?

<g> Thank you, Marilyn. I like your taste in music as well. It's a great song, isn't it?

Thank you Karen, Wendy, Jose, Tank, Laura, Sara, Loriel, Anna, Tricia, Kathy, Marilyn, and Merry. I appreciate each of you reading this little fic and taking the time to comment on it. Hope y'all had nice holidays. Thanks again!

Jana (who is preparing to disappear into oblivion again when classes start next Monday)

Aww.. so sweet, poignant, waffy and just perfect...<big happy content sigh>

I think this is a perfectly good example of just how different we all are: how our past, memories and experiences are so different, and we grow up secretely still wishing for things we were robbed of to have in our childhood.

And when that moment finally comes, when our childhood wishes finally come true, they're often granted in the most unexpected ways.

Great job, Jana!

Pelican

ps: Happy belated birthday, Karen!!

Pel,

Thank you for your comments. I'm glad to know you enjoyed this.

Oh, this is a good point! One of the things I always enjoyed about the show itself; Lois & Clark (and the various other characters for that matter) have very unique backgrounds and past experiences. Maybe we all kind of fill in the blanks for one another.

Thanks again, Pel!
