    Thank you, Emi! I'm glad you liked it. I feared it was too sappy, but sometimes... well.

    And you thought right. Thank you, LBO.

    Thank you, AC.

    Thank you, Jeff.

    That's perfectly fine. Thank you for the insight and the explanations. I wrote the poem after I visited the Christmas fair. I talked to homeless people, and they told me almost the same things you did. I hated how they were ignored.

    Cole: I swear the three of us each wrote eight pieces for the calendar. It’s not just one of us tricking you. I’m glad you’re enjoying our little treat and the surprises as well!!!

    Cole: You had me scrabbling to find out what Knack is. OMG, my paternal grandmother made this with molasses and cocoa powder and would roll the caramels in the almonds. She never had a name for it though. This is awesome!!! Thanks for the suggestion and I’ll have to make some too!! Thanks for the lovely review and idea!!!

    Cole: We decided all our recipes would be calories free so don’t worry. If you pretend there aren’t any calories, it doesn’t count, right? Thanks for the shout out!!! You’re sweet too!!

    Cole: My fudge recipe is very simple, chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk with a touch of vanilla. However, every year in addition to the toffee, I make caramel corn with cashews. It’s salty sweet, caramelly and delicious. Not to mention calorie free!!!! The last comment might be a lie. Thanks for the wonderful review!!!

    Cole: Decorating parties were fun. We’d have a little Christmas cheer as well. A glass of wine or beer makes decorating cookies even more creative, or should I say we thought so. Thanks for the review, but remember, Cole’s not the only one with recipes.

    Cole: Perhaps the best thing this Advent calendar has done so far is bring up happy memories of past holidays. Your remembrance of crunchy decorations underfoot and making candy with your mum and grandmother are so touching. Thank you for sharing these with the rest of us. We’ve done our job well and lots more to come.

    Cole: Fond memories of my grandmothers drove this vignette and recipe. We always had an enormous platter of cookies and candies, homemade with love. After all, that’s part of what makes the holiday so sweet, tastes from the past. Thanks for such a thoughtful review!

    Cole: I’ll have to check out Columbine Toffee, it sounds good. I wanted to make sure something chocolate and sweet ended up on the calendar. I recall finding bits of candy and so they need to be here. Thanks for the wonderful comments.

    Cole: It’s interesting how we all adopt and create new traditions. Cheese fondue sounds delicious for any special time. Thanks for the lovely review and memory.

    The First Noel I hit ‘send’ and stretched my arms over my head with a loud groan while the email containing my monthly productivity report made its way through cyberspace to my supervisor. I knew I’d hear about it the next day if I didn’t get it sent, so I had stayed late, despite already working my full shift. I shut my computer down and grabbed my lunch cooler and briefcase. It was after seven o’clock, and I was more than ready to go home. It was Halloween—one of my favorite holiday

    Lol, yeah get in line with your pitchfork and torch. I'm curious to learn about the outcome your rooting for.

    Thank you, Cajbor! I'm glad you liked it.

    Christmas Spirit Salvation Army bells clamor For the attention Of scowling faces, Shuffling feet, And stooped backs, But are ignored As the jaded masses Stare pointedly forward, Intent on their quest for an adequate gift. Carols on ‘repeat’ produce eyerolls Instead of delight In the hardened hearts Of weary parents waiting in line To purchase an overpriced snapshot of The balls of energy at their side, Who anxiously await the chance To tell Santa their fondest wish.

    Que Sera, Sera I knew exactly when it happened. I mean, sometimes you just kinda drift over into a new situation, a new part of your life. Small things change, lose their meaning, gain a meaning, become routine, or are forgotten. But you’re busy, with work and with life–doing laundry, taking the trash out, bringing the car to the shop, and whatnot. And things just accumulate. Tom called on my way home from work to tell me he had a business dinner and would be late. And instead of feeling di

    Elixir “Adam, what’s eating you?” Adam looked up from his cup of coffee and tried to smile at his grandmother. It felt half-hearted and he could see his sad attempt reflected in her eyes. “Everything’s fine. I swear.” Rose shook her head and patted his hand. “What you need is a nice sugar cookie. They always turn your frown upside down.” Adam rolled his eyes at his grandma’s goofy cliché. He didn’t want her to worry. She loved Wade and he wanted to keep it that way. “Sometimes the h

    Red Rose

    Aditus commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in Red Rose

    I had the same experience with a raven tattoo. It looked like a watercolor painting, just beautiful. Someday... Anyway, yep German steel can be nice too.

    Brotherhood

    Aditus commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in Brotherhood

    Sounds about right, only it's Italian steel and the roads are probably a little more turned and twisted. Nice.

    To Fly “Is this really okay?” “I’m fine, Anna.” Cameron smiled at his sister. He could see she was itching to be with her friends. “You’re warm?” Cameron patted the reflective blanket he had draped over his knees, then lifted the to-go mug with hot cocoa. “I’m good.” “And you won’t get bored?” “Jesus, Anna. You’re worse than Mom. Go!” He winked at her. “Show off your fine ass in those new jeans.” “Cam!” Putting her fists on her hips, she pretended to be scandalized, but then she laughe

    Making it Right

    Aditus commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in Making it Right

    Well, I certainly didn't see this coming. It's a sore topic for me. Doesn't always go like this, that's for sure.
