  1. Thank you so much, Chris. Merry Christmas to you.
  2. I’ve listened to the creaky weathervane at my grandparents’ house. Call it inspiration. Thank you, and may these days bring you joy.
  3. A wonderful, Happy Christmas to you, also.
  4. The sun came out as I read this. You wrote something incredibly beautiful about your love. Thank you.
  5. I was so clueless, someone told me to go buy the game. Thanks, Renee!
  6. December Sketches I greet you from the cool autumn night where contrabass owls tune their voices on their high oaken chairs in the shadowed forest, and low clouds reflecting village lights speed you my love on the rising wind. Down, down, down through winter’s deep darkness, the cold moonlit stillness settles sharp over silver shadowed meadow, farm and forest, its chill seeping into those who lie

    Family Ties

    Thanks for this difficult, yet perfect take for Christmas. At least a part of Lewis’ family acts like family. You wrote this well, enough to move my heart.

    Chapter 1

    A wonderful story in the Frank Capra tradition. Thank you, and Merry Christmas!

    LAX

    Merry Christmas! A nice end to an all-too-brief sojourn across the world. I’ve no doubt Liebe could have a cousin in the not too distant future. Hope that little girl is ready for adventure - CJ’s first posting could be quite obscure. But I’m sure you’ll write to us about it, yes?
  10. I very much enjoyed this! Please can we see some more of these two? Please?

    Kimo Calendar

    Thank you! I’m very grateful you took time to read these. These snapshots were fun to write.

    Kimo Calendar

    You’re very kind to look through the snapshots of the year. I hope some of the images remain with you for a long while.
  13. Thank you, thank you, @Myr and all who make GA not just a website, but a community. I’m deeply grateful.

    Christmas Bread

    I love the recipe. I love the story. I have a student with an implant who is both glad of it, but may be having some if the same thoughts as you describe. But toward the end, something appeared in my eye, requiring a tissue. And maybe hot chocolate, just because. Thank you!

    Boxing Day

    I really enjoyed this chapter, from Surfin Santa to the Liston men in skirts, er, kilts. And Owen and CJ and Spencer did well in talking with Pam. No shouting, just a firm discussion. Thank goodness for helpful aunts. Happy Christmas!

    He Kalliste

    I enjoyed this archaeological mystery. Who says all the power is gone? It appears there was a bit left, at least. Thank you for this unusual story.

    The Fallout

    You’ve written an excellent story. Lex is deeply flawed; who knows if anything will work out with him? The man only knows his immediate desires and his anger. Our narrator has come through a terrible experience. You write that so well, we can feel it deeply. The epilogue allows us a ray of hope, for which I’m grateful, in addition to my thanks for this story.

    Getting Burned

    Oh, hell. What has Lex passed on to our narrator? And will that change his mind about what’s happening with him and Lex? Nice twist here.
  19. And so the fire isn’t merely built, it’s blazing. Loren’s thoughts about the cheating in the marriage no longer make an impact, except to add fuel to the fire. I fear where this might lead.

    Bi the Way...

    Those hard words, spoken with the confidence of youth: you have to know what you want. But what happens when you want different than what is considered normal or acceptable? That’s Lex’s problem, and in a growing sense, the narrator’s. Great story.

    Foolish

    So Lex convinces the narrator to continue, or at least to set aside his compunctions. It’s a very difficult thing for both men. At least our narrator chooses to see things from another’s point of view.
  22. For Simon, his phone is a lifeline. Not sure how he’d deal with life without a phone, But it would be better than life with his father, that’s certain.

    Desire

    Braiding indeed - the plots are twining and braiding and getting deeper. I’m very fearful for Elias, happy for Mason and Jeremy, glad at Gary’s declaration. You’ll keep me on the edge of my seat.

    Mark Weber!

    I really enjoyed reading this. Kelly is a great character; I’m glad you didn’t have to make him up.

    O Holy Night

    How very sad. You remind us that all lives are holy. Thank you.
