Mal, Excellent!! another great story. Dean and Sam finally had a great christmas. Dean being pampered at the Andersons...LOL again great job. Renee
Author's Response: Thanks Renee! I really enjoyed writing it, despite it turning out way longer than my plan. I just can't seem to keep it short, lol -------------mal

Wonderful! *clap, clap, clap* I wish Dean could have a family himself someday, but until then, this wonderful story will do. Thank you!
Author's Response: Thanks so much for taking the time to review! I'm flattered. I always feel bad when a fellow writer reviews, because I honestly avoid reading other excellent stories while I feel like writing because I fear becoming derivative of what I've read. And I keep promising that I'll switch to reading very soon, lol. Thanks again---mal

Hey Favorited this and then saved to read all in the one go, and so glad I did. I always love your stories but there is something about this one that really reached in there and broke my heart, for both boys. What they want and what they are missing. All that, while still managing to give me the warm fuzzies as the Andersons rallied to give Dean a Christmas to remember. I love that the brother's most important thing is still each other even though they are miles apart, Sam worrying and Dean trying not to make him worry. (and as usual going about it the wrong way!) Don't think that there was a single bit in this that I didn't like, much more than 5 star! So thanks for the read, Mary xx
Author's Response: Holy moly, thanks! As I've written before, this turned out way longer than I'd envisioned, it was supposed to be a three day post. (famous last words) Thanks for your patience, and words...mal

Wonderful! What a great story. Nice and easy, no dark scenes for once but still very entertaining and -as always- I was looking forward to each and every chapter. Your choice of words is is brilliant and you capture our favorite set of brother so well! I hope to see a new story of you over here soon. I love your writing. Thanks for sharing this gem with us! Hugs, Dagmar
Author's Response: Thanks Dagmar. It turned out to be far longer than I'd planned, but I wanted it to be reasonably light, considering the season. Gotta have my happy endings, lol. Thanks again, Mal

Awww...What a sweet ending to an amazing story. Dean finally got his wish granted, celebrating Christmas in family and with Sam too. Markus apologizing to Dean, it was cool coming from him. Dean wasn't thrilled to go in Markus's family but he enjoyed his stay after all. Mal, you did a fabulous work with this story, I hope to read a new story from you in a near future, I'm looking forward to it.
Author's Response: I really appreciate the feedback. I did enjoy writing it, at least as the snow was flying, lol.

Fantastic ending, glad Dean had a nice Christmas, considering.. It doesn't matter when it was finished as long as it was. Thanks. really enjoyed it.
Author's Response: Thanks for your patience in reading. I have to learn how to write a short story, lol

I just loved your story! I love how Dean secretly really did enjoy the attention and care he was given at Markus's house. I hope some day that Dean and Stacey can see each other again. Sam finally saw Dean as who he really is. I do beleive this Christmas brought them together even closer than before. Thanks for the wonderful story, I'm kinda sad to see it come to an end.
Author's Response: Thanks Moira. I really enjoyed writing it, even if it refused to stay short, lol
Reviewer: Renate (Signed) · Date: 22/03/10 08:58 AM · On: Chapter 17

Author's Response: Thanks for all the comments! I hope the series has Dean gain some of that respect too.

*applause* Hooray! Lovely story, I had a lot of fun with it!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I was really trying for a short story, lol. But bottom line, I wanted something appropriately merry (ish)
Reviewer: lam (Signed) · Date: 21/03/10 11:21 PM · On: Chapter 17
Another wonderful story comes to a close... *sigh* Your stories, perhaps more than almost anyone else's, always make me wish they could go on forever... I hate to see them end that much. As always, you have completely captured the boys the way I see them. It was wonderful seeing Stacy bring home to Sam how much he means to Dean and Sam's moment of realization over what the ring had meant to Dean. Of course, I enjoyed Markus having to eat a little crow and finally finding some peace with Dean. I hope - as always - that your next story won't be too far away... Thank you so much for sharing this.
Author's Response: Thank you so much, Lisa! I am so glad you enjoyed this. I stupidly started it two days before Christmas on a whim, planning to have it play out and finish on the big day. BAH HA HA.... Apparently I'm incapable of the short story. I tried to limit the mayhem in it due to the season, I wanted some sweetness rather than anything too harsh. Anyway--thanks for the attention---mal

Just one word: awwwww! Lol!
Author's Response: Just one more word; Thaaaaaaanks! lol
Reviewer: Maureen Nesbitt (Signed) · Date: 08/03/10 11:26 AM · On: Chapter 16
That was great, Aww, Dean all emotional, and he couldn't even escape so he could hide his feelings. They made him cry! It was a really good read and can't wait for the next chapter Thanks...
Author's Response: Thanks. I hope and pray the season gives his character some well-earned peace.
Reviewer: Primrose (Signed) · Date: 08/03/10 04:24 AM · On: Chapter 16
Fabulous Christmas! My Dad was in the hospital one year over Christmas- we packed up my guitar, music, and book and had Christmas there. We always sing, so that year we did it without the piano. It was also one of our most memorable Christmases. Funny how that works.
Author's Response: Wow. Hard, but lovely. Lost my Dad to a brain tumour a few years back. Still not at peace with it. Christmas is lacking now.
Reviewer: usaexpat (Signed) · Date: 08/03/10 03:55 AM · On: Chapter 16
Yeah Dean gets a christmas and Sam liked his ring...Sam Sam you should have bought Dean a gift, shame on you. great story!
Author's Response: Aw c'mon---Sammy's gift is his presence. That to Dean, is golden.
Reviewer: Oceane (Signed) · Date: 07/03/10 09:02 PM · On: Chapter 16
Awesome. This Christmas is going to be the most memorable for Dean, Sam and The Anderson's family.
Author's Response: It's definitely more than the average holiday experience, lol
Reviewer: mtee (Signed) · Date: 07/03/10 06:30 PM · On: Chapter 16
Ah that was so perfect! Thank you so much.

Awww, that was a beautiful chapter,very sweet.
Author's Response: Thanks. 'Tis the season....
Reviewer: moira4eku (Signed) · Date: 07/03/10 12:33 PM · On: Chapter 16
Awwwhhhhh.....I loved it! Dean finally got to experience the Christmas of his dreams. He is so lucky to have family and friends to that for him. I find it kinda sad that his Dad was never able to give that to him after Mary died. I've always suspected that Dean was quite sentimental, too. Thanks for the great read!
Author's Response: My pleasure. Dean is definitely deeper than what's been portayed onscreen, in my opinion.

Aw, Dean... So sad and so sweet. He just wanted to see Christmas. Beautifully written. I love the way you write the boy's banter and feelings.
Author's Response: Thank you so much. It sometimes hard to write the quiet times...
Reviewer: darkhunter (Signed) · Date: 23/02/10 03:33 PM · On: Chapter 15
Great update, can't wait for the next chapter,what a lovely surprise Dean's going to get.
Author's Response: Wish they could have it every year.
