Ian and Kevin are both great characters. The story about how they found and adopted Benjamin and Joseph is one I think you will like, @Albert1434
-
Michael will definitely love working with the staff and owners of the company. Missy is a great addition to the story.

Growing up on the West Coast, my first experience was fireworks on the 4th. Living in Thailand now, I see fireworks for four holidays. I always look forward to them, even if my cat does not.

The next chapter should please you since there will be more than the expected fireworks.

Your son's a remarkable dancer, and your pride in his accomplishments is very evident. His performance, reward and spending time with his dads will create memories worth much more than the expense.

I loved this sweet reminder that miracles happen, especially at Christmas. The miracle of love and life fills the pages of this story. May we all find these kinds of miracles this Christmas.

This wonderful Christmas parable cuts through the crass commercialism of the holiday to refocus all on the true meaning of Christmas. Merry Christmas! May you carry the message of this tale in your heart all year long.

Chapter 1 - The Old Man at Christmas
raven1 commented on Bill W's story chapter in Chapter 1 - The Old Man at Christmas
I enjoyed this short tale. It read more like a parable than a sermon. I understand the points the old man made and understand his concern. However, I think his young friend was correct in his solution. People are still trying to put Christ back into Christmas. I offer this as proof: -
The colouring of this orchid is stunning!

Making my mouth water! I miss all the wonderful cookies made during the holidays.

Things are getting back to paranormal normal for Greg and the gang. With the rapid expansion of staff, there will be a lot of construction going on, so it is great that David was brought into the inner circle. I like how he supports his sons' choices should they be turned. Brian seems to be the only one with a bit of a problem with his family, but he may also be the next winner of a fated mate with Jenny. I do agree with @drsawzall opinion that Jake will be the first of the friends to be turned. He has wanted this from almost the moment he first learned about the vampire world.

Good Night Man! Sleep well.

Hi, Page! We're both doing fine. It's going to be a bit busy this weekend. Three days of celebrating the holiday with friends. How are you and yours? Is Max getting excited for Christmas Day?
-
Hi Albert! I hope all is well with you and Steve. I really loved the pictures of the orchids. Keep them coming.

I thank you, kind sir. I might permit you to release one chapter early for your kindness. Then it's back to the...

They were also highly rated where I lived in the USA and usually were staffed by very professional people. Merry Christmas and a Prosperous and Happy New Year to you.

Probably the difference is exactly what you mentioned. Firecrackers are legal, popular and inexpensive where I live. My cat doesn't look for places to hide; she already knows them all. The comforter is her favourite because it gives one more layer of soundproofing.

Spoilers? Me? 😳

Shhh! I misspoke. Don't let the boss know.

I also believe Michael will love the job and do very well in the shop. The added bonus is that he will have the time and money to continue his education.

You are correct about Benjamin and Joseph appearing in that story. It's a great story that could also be considered as a spy novel. Although I love fireworks, I am also concerned about the effect it has on animals like birds and dogs. My poor cat ends up under the comforter in the back bedroom whenever fireworks go off in the neighbourhood.
-
My favorite part is Max telling Stacy to let the boys and Harry do the work, convincing Michael and Charlie to go out to see the carnival and fireworks. Max was so right!

I got Nick and Rob, but not the third one. I know that Tom was mentioned as a friend, but I saw no clue to suggest he was more than an actor and friend.
-
Don't feel sad. I did catch on. I didn't say anything because I didn't want to spoil the fun of others. I took a dive down the rabbit hole when I saw these clues left for us. The second naturally was evident once I verified my first guess.

Pacific Coast Indigenous People had many different origin stories, and some believed Raven was also the creator. One consistent theme was that Raven was a prankster. They are also social, use tools and are monogamous. I prefer to think of this trait positively like greed to devour all the wonderful things in life. Living most of my life in the PNW, I learned to love and respect the raven. That's why I chose this as my personal internet nickname.
