Very much so. I keep my mouth shut least I say too much, but it is fun to observe the conjectures

I'm through chapter two and enjoying this just as much as the rest of the Christmas stories. I like the clear numerical chapter separations. Chapter two was a little overwhelming, but that's my fault for not reading all of the stories but only the Christmas stories at this point. Thanks for giving enough background to pick up on the new-to-me characters. I'll use the period between now and July to catch up on the Valentine stories and the earlier July 4th stories. Halloween will wait until fall because Halloween, like Christmas, should be enjoyed in-season, IMHO. Thanks for another great seasonal-mood-improver.

Your solution was much more in line with your premises. Visits will work just as well.

Thanks for the best present of all.

So, the boys don't get to take Auggie home with them. I'm only mildly disappointed - it was a stretch. I love Auggie's origins and development. Thanks for making the holidays far more interesting than conditions otherwise suggest.

Absolutely marvelous, as well as all the comments! But I will pat myself on the back a little. When they went to the basement work shop, I just knew it was one of the mistakes developing a new existence. I hope the boys get to take it home for a pet that nobody else can see.

This is wonderful. I laughed at the elements of earthly reality, such as the use of UPS, etc. It's nice that magic has a basis in reality, if only in part. I'm looking forward to the rest of this story - and this year's new one,

Can't Believe I've Been Gone So Long
Backwoods Boy commented on JayT's blog entry in Randomnicity (aka Jay's thoughts)
That's a lot to deal with in a short period of time. My thoughts are with you. -
As I finished this wonderful story and read the comments, I recalled the attached piece of personal history, vintage 1965, halfway through the college experience and home for Christmas. (Linked, as I couldn't insert the image). Thanks again for a great story with the true feeling of Christmas. https://gayauthors.org/gallery/image/16583-19230001jpg/

… and since I'm two years late to the party, I don't have to wait to find out what it is
-
That was absolutely superb. Your imagination knows no bounds. The reading was not without tears - the kind one sheds when one sees something really beautiful. Thanks again for sharing your creativity.

Now, that was a real holiday treat. I'm anxious to read the other three now. And then it looks like entertainment for other holidays to come. The Valentine's Day opportunities could make January much more bearable. You're a great story teller, and this was a great story.

1) Glad I found this. Even if Halloween is over. 🙂 2) I'm glad you didn't feel compelled to include current events. Escape is a good thing. 3) I would have one hell of a time loving Kippy. Way too mercurial. 🙄

Even I, with an aversion for TV, knew that one. I smell a generation gap. Okay, my sense of humor is waking up now.

I find myself immersed in writing (elsewhere) and editing and beta reading (here). It's an escape thing. I also find I don't want to let go of a story yet because maybe I can waste some more time tweaking it. I also find myself formally abandoning all volunteer activities, whether or not they are currently active. Introspection is resulting in permanent frustration elimination. But there are other escapes now that it's warming up. My lawn has never been so free of dandelions or so well-mowed.

1) The snow level across the river was at about 1500 feet the last time I got a look through the clouds. 2) It's about 40 degrees outside, 68 inside. Absence of pants would look strange with a hoodie and down vest. 3) My uncle, in his senile years, rarely wore pants and often answered the door in that state. I'm not quite there yet. 4) I have the perfect meme for this, but it might not pass the purity test here.

I'm revising my "who done it" theory. Levi seems like a first-class snake in the grass. Dorian may have just shown poor judgement and misplaced loyalty.

An interesting viewpoint. I wouldn't bet my SS check either way, but I bet the author is smiling at the conjecture

An interesting thought on the perpetrators, but I'm betting not. We have yet to learn why Dorian ended up being species-intolerant, when he starts out here being the opposite. I have a sneaking suspicion that the perps will turn out to be of another species, and most likely avian, because of the accuracy of the attack. But I certainly wouldn't make a bet on either answer.

A very emotional chapter. I do hope we find out "who done it."

I've had the same experience, about two days ago. Desktop with Windows 10, up to date.

That's a new one for me, and highly usable too! -

resurrection? -
Dorian seems to be very species-inclusive at this point. I'm now curious to learn how he migrated away from that since his attitude later seemed very different. I could speculate, but I'll wait and see.

As a devout Pastafarian, I resent represent that word.
