I promised myself that I was going to save the rest of this story until tomorrow, but I could not stand it. I have read lots and lots of stories here, and reviewed them, and this one is definitely in the top ten. This chapter is probably one of my favorite chapters of all the stories that i have read. I am a holiday person, and I love all the small details of the meals, drinks, especially the gifts. The cinnabuns were priceless. I love them myself, and ironically, a couple of years ago, my hubby bought some for us to have on Christmas EVE since our daughter and our grandson would not be home until the next morning. We actually had them with our drinks.
Also, the familiarity that the two families felt with each other was very profound. Loved it
