Thanks to aunty Google for answering what the heck are conchs and snowbirds. Can't help myself, lol. Well, it was a special birthday, so the celebrations can take a little longer.

This caught my eyes a while ago, but I never got around actually reading it. Thanks for the nod, the frown, the lifted eyebrow and the grin. All within a few minutes.

A Christmas Memory When I was ten years old, I was a typical horse-crazy little girl. I had a herd of model horses that jumped Lego jumps, pulled Lego wagons with yarn harnesses, and ran all over my parents’ gardens in our backyard. We lived in the suburbs, so I contented myself with my plastic doppelgangers and my shelves of horse books—both fact and fiction. I was a sponge when it came to reading anything about horses.

Christmas Fair When cheerful carols sound from everywhere And smiling children hold their parents’ hand While cotton candy scents the very air And embers crackle at the chestnut stand We know that Christmastime is all around To warm the heart with love and spicy wine And we go home, a place that’s safe and sound And nicely done with candy canes and pine.

Cole: Oh, I’m sure you have hidden talents to share. For example, you’re a wonderful reviewer who made my day with a giggle!!! Perhaps we could have a version of Chopped with your pantry and fridge!!! Anyway, thanks for a thoughtful and jolly review. It’s much appreciated.

Cole: I’m glad you enjoyed the stocking stuffer and yes, you are a very good guesser. I have a theory I presented in this vignette. Think of American Thanksgiving as an event which celebrated coming out of a time of want. Christmas and yule are holidays of light in the time of darkness. Both seem to have roots in hard times which generate a rich tradition of reflection coming from hard times. Thank you for such an insightful and lovely review!
-
Cole: I’m glad you’re enjoying the treats! We wanted to give a mix of emotions in these little stories and literary amuse bouches. Thanks for the lovely review.

Cole: Sometimes these spontaneous events can create the best memories. They get people to react naturally and since these guys love each other, they had a blast. I’m glad you enjoyed the story. Thanks for the warm and touching comments!!!
-
Cole: Like you, we love a frittata which is both as elaborate as you want and yet simple and delicious. Having a lovely companion of any species is special. A warm fire, some lovely music, and happy thoughts are what we all share. Thanks for the awesome comments!!!
-
Cole: The most important part is being together and enjoying the time. Ran and I don’t get enough sometimes because work and other things get in the way. I think Lonnie and Stephen enjoyed learning that lesson. Thanks for the kind review!!
-
Cole: Good guess!!!
-
Cole: Red herrings!!! As if we’d be that tricky!!! Of course we could have. Thanks so much for enjoying this story. We need to make the best of things and sometimes it’s even better than the original plan. I appreciate your delightful review.
-
Cole: I’m glad you’re enjoying our stories. I think it will give you a taste of all of our writing styles. There is more emotion and some laughter and fun as well. Thanks for commenting and being part of our holiday.
-
Cole: You’ll find a lot of talk of food from all of us. The season screams treats and comfort foods. Maybe one of our favorites will become something you enjoy as well. Thanks for the lovely review my darling!!!
-
Cole: They stayed comfy and cozy and established a new family tradition. I think sometimes that’s how these things get started. Thanks for the review.
-
Cole: I’m glad you’re enjoying the secret writer thing and I’m happy you liked the story. I do love happy endings most of the time. I appreciate the comments!!!

Valkyrie: Nope…it was the Pesky Penguin! Thanks for the review. I’m glad you liked it.

Valkyrie: In our family the song was “O Holy Night”. My mom and my aunt used to sing it every Christmas Eve. Very loudly and very badly. Lol I hated it, but my grandpa loved it. They haven’t sang it since he passed in 2000. My ears are thankful they longer sing it, but I am sad that they don’t because it used to bring such a smile to his face. Thank you for the review.
-
Valkyrie: Thanks
-
You’re exactly right, Puppi. Thanks for the review. Guess I couldn’t fool you, huh?
-
Valkyrie: Thanks for the review and for your awesome editing. The holidays are a difficult time for many people. I hope that this helps find some of the positive and joy in remembering those that are part of our pasts now.

Valkyrie: Thank you so much, Drew. It’s such an emotional piece, I had to add a little levity. I’m glad you liked it.
-
Valkyrie: I’m very flattered that so many people thought Cole wrote this. I know you don’t usually leave reviews, so I appreciate the thumbs up.

Valkyrie: Another Cole guess Thanks for reading. I’m glad you liked it.
