Ahhh, now I understand. I guess my problem was I didn't see a goat in the doorway, just a weird bug.

I don't get the joke. Can someone explain, please ?

A monthly AAA ! Yikes, that's a huge commitment, and Carlos deserves a lot of credit for keeping it going for three years. I'm in awe. I hope you find someone equally determined, Renee.

Hmmm, so Peter's surname was Shaw, but we were never told Kat's surname. On the other hand, maybe Tyler is not the boy's surname, but simply a second name. Because I bet he's Peter's son, and the picture in the drawer is of Tristan. The only question is, how does Tyler know it's a picture in the drawer if he hasn't seen it, and if he has seen if, why doesn't he recognize Tristan ? But perhaps that's because he's only four and he's focused on the Santa hat.

In Denmark we say Prosit when someone sneezes. I'd love to hear what other countries use.

Hmm, cloudy thinking makes for foggy communication. Seems to me they are going round in circles and neither of them will get what he wants or needs.

Well, no more beating around the bush, just straight shootin'. Boone had his say, and it hit Coy hard, knowing his best friend wants or needs them to go their separate ways. But perhaps Boone shot hmself in the foot with his insistence that Coy wants something different than him.

An honest and kind Lawman, with a lot of good sense. I'm sorry he lost his good friends, I bet he doesn't have many people he trusts the way he did Wes and Lee. And getting half of the extra gold and the reward is going to help Boone achieve his dream of buying land.

I'm glad they didn't let the contents of the gunny sack come between them. Boone had a good point about clearing Dan's name, shows how honorable he is. And even Coy knew his brother deserves nothing but the truth.

Not all that glitters is gold. They did find real gold in the river, but Boone still thinks they were fools to do this for so long. But I think the actual fool's gold here is Coy trying to insist his brother cared about him. And their mother saw the heart of gold in Boone at first, but she was a fool to listen to her nasty son and to the bigotry of religion. Religion can be fool's gold for the stupid and the weak, compared to the real gold of love and understanding and compassion. Boone kept Coy from following his wishful idea of brotherly love, by holding the real gold of friendship as a shield, but he no longer needs to do that. But three good men payed with their lives because Coy was too much of a fool and a coward to tell Will to get lost. It's hard to forgive him for that.

Oh, and of course they open presents on Christmas Eve. That's the proper way to do it after dancing around the Christmas tree. I also enjoyed making sure you had the whole range of likes for this chapter.

YES !! Perfect revenge. Disappear without a trace and call to accidentally, but hopefully, ruin his pleasure of the engagement party. That made me chuckle with glee. Of course, I feel sorry for Tristan too, but he acted cleverly by making a clean break and organizing another life far from his cheating ex. I hope he really did get closure and will find someone better, who actually loves him. Then he can exact an even better revenge, when he meets Peter again.

It should have been Denmark saying sne-tissemænd in the comic, Sweden is much too bashful to enjoy those sculptures. And he probably has them in the far North of the country, too, while we would never get enough snow. But otherwise it was funny.

The moment Stroganov gave the dinner invitiation I wondered whether they would be served Beef Stroganov. It's quite popular in Denmark too. How is Rimsky-Korsakov related to the composer Nikolaj who was born in 1844 ? Maybe another branch of the family. I liked the bonding moment with Daventry. And I'm glad I don't have to keep track of Granger's erotic conquests. But I'm happy he's still having fun in bed in the midst of all his hard work for his country and his family.

I'm very much looking forward to reading the story.

I never liked Scott Slater, so I'm always pleased to see Will take him down. It's also funny to see Will analyzing his call with Brad, and he even managed not to lose his temper or stay angry with him.

A more immature Will might have confronted Malo more, but he's better at controlling his temper when facing nasty dudes and unfair behavior.

Well, at least his inner beast made him strong enough to make Jada apologize. Maybe Sawyer can even get a win with his mother, if he survives.

I think Jimmy should bite Sawyer to complete the mating bond before the full moon. I bet that would help Sawyer survive shifting into a wolf.

I didn't know about these stories before I read the review. They will be my Christmas reading. Great review, @ancientrichard and for helping the review team out.

I'd never heard that before. Very

I'm delighted they had a wonderful and relaxing day and evening together. They deserved that.

I'm glad there was no prolonged sulk or separation. They are both sensible that way.

Such a clever letter from Granger and a clever reply from Daventry. I'm sure it will take more than 36 days to be instructed in the Russian Orthodox Faith.

The Danish poet Henrik Nordbrandt would approve. According to his poem from 1986 The year has 16 months: November, December, January, February, March, April, Mey, June, July, August, September, October, November, November, November, November. That's because November in Denmark feels very long, dark and dreary.
