    Cole: You’re right. This is a tale about how important the little things can be to our lives. The memories Howard implanted in me live on even now. The smallest actions can make some of the biggest difference in our lives. Thanks for a thoughtful review!!!

    Cole: Oh, I didn’t mean to make you cry, though I do when I read it. It’s something I wrote some time ago after he died. I wanted to share it with you all so you get how much he touched my life. We weren’t exactly close, but his presence was so important to me. Thanks for such a heartfelt review.

    Cole: I’m glad you can enjoy Christmas without it being part of you. Thanks for the memories of how it has meaning even without being one of your traditions. Thanks for the wonderful review and sharing your feelings.

    Cole: Christmas is a time for remembrance and celebration of life. As you said, memories of the good times carry us through the long dark nights. Thanks for such an interesting review.

    Cole: Your Christmas memories sound delicious! Scalloped oysters are wonderful and your thoughts made me hungry! I’m so pleased my memory conjured up your own experiences. Thanks for such a warm and thoughtful review.

    Cole: I love your sharing with us the memory of your own Christmases. You parents must have tried very hard to make things nice for you without making a production of it. Your family must have cared a great deal to help so much. What lovely thoughts and remembrances of the past. It probably makes your efforts for your grandnieces all the more special. Thank you so much!!!

    Cole: I made homemade marshmallows once and they are so delicious. They have a different texture that’s more candy-like and more pleasing I think that ordinary ones from the store. You can flavor them in different ways as well. Thanks for reviewing and sharing your own candymaking history!!!

    – Cole: Thanks for the lovely review. I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe and the sentiment. When you’re with the one you love, it’s all that matter. Happy holidays!!!

    Cole: So true! You expressed how we get to appreciate the nuances of the season and remembrances so well. The bitterness makes the sweetness all the sweeter. The pangs of pain make the ease of comfort more delightful. These things give us context and make us ponder. I think those are good things. Thanks for such a lovely and thoughtful review.

    Cole: You expressed it perfectly. That’s exactly right and thank you for your review. I appreciate your support.

    Cole: I appreciate the kind words and your review. As a writer, having touched people is the point. I feel I’ve done my job well. Thank you!!!

    Cole: You never get over losses completely. Even after some time, they continue to touch your heart, but they can give you comfort as well. I hope these vignettes did so for you. Thanks for such a thoughtful review.

    Cole: I’m so glad the story touched you. I don’t try to make people feel badly, but I’m glad it made you feel like expressing yourself. In the end, they all got their light in the darkness and that to me is the story. Thanks for such a personal review.

    Cole: That’s exactly what I wanted to portray. Thank you for such an insightful review. I appreciate it.

    Cole: Thanks for such a touching review. I worried a bit about the first and third vignette, but I was pleased with number two. I got the idea from a blurb on a medical site online about how they first treated cancer. It led to a little research and then Danny started to become real to me and I could hear his mother’s sobbing in the background. The third segment was based on a true story. I knew a guy with the same name and he joked about how there were a thousand people with his name in the state. From there is just came into being. Thanks for such an awesome review.

    Cole: Whenever a person says they were emotionally moved by a story, it means the author did their job well. I’m humbled and thrilled by your review. Thank you.

    Cole: I’m glad the tale of cold moved you. It’s cold here as well and so it thrills me the message worked. Thanks for the lovely review.

    Cole: Your words are both invigorating and encouraging. I’m glad you enjoyed the three vignettes. I wanted to convey a certain concept and it seems these did so. It is the light shining in the darkness which comforts and keeps us moving. That, to me, is the message of Christmas and yuletide. In spite of what surrounds us, forward is comfort, joy, and content. Thanks for such a wonderful review. It means a lot!!!

    Cole: Oh, there are lights we leave on for people we don’t even know. I think you are right also there are so many people who a light glows for in our hearts. Thanks for such a thoughtful review.

    Cole: I remember flash cubes quite well. I also remember the flash strips and how we would bring film in and not remember what was on it. Even in my twenties in the 1980s, I recall getting pictures back and they were little forgotten mementoes of times with friends and family. Now you take a picture and you know immediately what it is. Back in the day it wasn’t so immediate. Thanks for a thoughtful review and your memories. They are precious.

    Cole: People do love handmade things, especially when it comes from the heart. Creating something with you in it means a great deal I believe. I personally cherish those things as special gifts. Thanks for such a lovely personal review.
