There’s nothing like starting off a Thusday morning a little weepy ;-) nice one!

Oh Dan, I am like Kelly when it comes to Christmas.  It’s all about the friends and family and the sparkly fun and the big big love.  That just made me all squishy inside and that’s a very good way to feel.

Wonderful story, Dan.  I, too, love the spirit of the holiday season.  I love the family, and I love the friends.  I fear that too many people get lost in the responsibility of the (sometimes many) occasions, and forget that the spirit of the holidays is the true source of the happiness we feel.  I’ve started some traditions with friends and kept them up, and when I look back on years past, it’s those times I have loved the most.

Ooh my!  I have so many questions!!  That was lovely and touching.

"Her family was so far away.”

Actually, I bet if you ask her, she had all the family she needed, right there with you. Sure, she missed some folks, but I bet the only in-completeness would have been the season without you by her side.

Loved your story.

Dan
your prose never disappoints...at the next to last paragraph, i thought great story, then your post script at the end made it even better...so when are you sending it to reader’s digest????hmmmmmm
