The Candy Man Can When I moved back home to XXX in the early 1990s, I decided to start having a cookie decorating party with new friends. Since I didn’t really like icing and making sugar and ginger cookies look cute, I’d bake and I discovered others liked to decorate. Friends would come by and adorn cookies with candy and frosting. We had good times each December for many years. At first we just had a couple of different kinds of cookies, but then I wanted to make it more special. I foun

Nelly Frittata Stephen put the last of the gifts into the tote bag, carefully tucking the box of fruit flavored candy canes into an empty pocket. He sat back in the chair and sighed. Now, he needed to get them packed. Lonnie would be home within half an hour and they needed to leave immediately. While driving home from the mall, the weatherman on the radio said a blizzard was coming, a huge storm wailing in from Canada by eleven tonight. They had a two-hour drive ahead of them and neede

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LISA!!!!! May all you wishes come true, but one. Even the secret ones you barely think out loud! You're the best!

The Sweater Steam rose from the piping hot black liquid contained in a mug shaped like Rudolph’s head. It dissipated as it hit the cool air, becoming a part of the atmosphere in a process as ephemeral as the thoughts of the one who held the novelty mug. The bay window revealed a breathtaking dawn. Red and yellow streaks colored large, puffy clouds in a display meant to celebrate the importance of the day. How many times had he come down the stairs to find Tommy in this very chair, drink

Prologue Aditus One nice, warm, and sunny September afternoon, I thought about Christmas, or rather of the time before Christmas: all those preparations, the cooking, the baking, kissing under the mistletoe, reading special stories, or poems, writing cards to friends and family…and of course the Advent calendar. I loved those when I was a kid. A sweet chocolaty treat every morning before I went to school. That was when I had the idea of putting together a calendar for you. Twenty-four doors ar

I'm glad everything is working again. Thank you, drpaladin.

It has been a very nice day! Family and friends came over... and hey it was a Friday--and not a Black Friday around here. Thank you for all your kind words and wishes. Would everything happen as you said, it should become an awesome year. @Carlos *purr* oh wait! that's a cat...er *snuffle* I might have howled too. @LBO Who's the mouse? My cats are very interested. @Daddy Oh, wow! Ganz lieben Dank, Daddy. Just perfect. And I did that. (Lass dich schön feiern.) @Tim I think they were somewhat familiar. Never hurts to watch them again, though. @northie That's about right! lol @Sasha One can never have to much love and snuggles. Thank you! @Def Oh, that's a lot! Thanks, Def. Again, I'm awed about this place. You all made me smile and very happy.

What a great way to start the day! Thank you so much! So far everything is (almost) perfect. Many nice birthday greetings, the weather is very nice, I finally got my thermo mug (and burnt my tongue, silly me, the tea is actually very hot), the cake looks nice and I have a short day at work. @Clo Thank you for starting the thread. Nice cake! @Val Great cake! I'll tell him you said so. @tim Thank you! I'll do that. @Lisa *hug* A friend is never late, nor is she early. She arrives precisely when she means to. Right? @J. Hunter Dunn Peter! Vielen Dank für die lieben Glückwünsche!

Happy Birthday, northie! I hope you have a wonderful day and a late rose may still bloom in your garden.

Happy Birthday!

I'm glad you think so! Thank you for your nice words.
-
Thank you for your kind words! Well, the story isn't over yet. Hint. Hint. I'm sorry for answering your review this late.
-
I'm impressed. How I struggled with Ballades... and you mastered it so beautifully. I always had problems with that court of judgement being a bit of the carpe diem type.
-
Great story, Def! I had to read it twice because I rushed through the first read because I needed to know the end, lol. I was right in the middle of everything the second time.
-
I'm glad Ryan didn't suffer in silence. It's not exactly the way to go to hit someone, but hey, sometimes it just happens and, in the end, he got a reaction. Yep, I could read some more from these too.
-
Ha! You need to ask if you should expand this? This is a teaser. A world back to zero with countless possibilities, almost everything could happen now. Selective mutism is an interesting idea. Ben will be able to talk when he thinks he can really trust, right? A benchmark for trust... or the depth of a relationship. So, the answer is yes. Please.
-
OMG! Really!? You really know the right words to motivate me, Val! I hope I'll be able to write the last part soon. Thank you so much! *hug*

Oh I remember how much you liked Zaidu and I'm glad Oliver didn't disappoint. I read about battle tactics and camps, asked a friend so not to make too many mistakes. It was very interesting, actually. Thank you for your kind words, Emi!
-
Thank you, Tim! The horse part just happened, but I have to admit I was quiet happy with it at the end.
-
I like your optimism. You almost convinced me! I'm glad you liked what I did. Thank you so much, for your kind words!
-
Yes, I'm sure the circumstances will be hard to accept for Oliver. What did I do, throwing them together like that? Oliver did truly love Adam though, otherwise he wouldn't have lived the life he did. I have an idea for the last part, but knowing me it will change several times. Thank you Puppi, for reading, liking and commenting.

Yeah, I have this urge to balance things out, at least in short stories. I actually have to force myself not to do it from time to time. The soldier-horse relationship just happened one evening, when I wasn't feeling well. I needed something nice. Thank you for taking the time to read, like and comment, AC!
-
*Surprise!* You made me curious: What did you expect? Right, not what Oliver expected either. Blindsided... It will not be easy, that's for sure. I have a vague idea for the last part. It will definitely be another time jump...so whatever problems they had, they will have solved it... Thank you Gary, for reading, liking, and commenting.
