The story is a look at three Christmas' through Cowley's eyes. . . .He is worried about Bodie. Be careful what you wish for . . . as Mr Cowley found out.

It's one of those stories that makes me feel good. I read it each winter and sometimes just when I need a short pick-me-up.

Oh holy Cowley! :-)
But you're right. It's a wonderful story and I could imagine to read it again next winter, and the winter thereafter and...

Thanks!

Sometimes simple is nice and I enjoyed Cowley's voice.

When the gods wish to punish you they answer your prayers?

Very sweet.

As always with Elessar, I like the *idea* of her stories more than I seem to like the fics themselves. Here the tweaking Doyle's history made no sense to me and didn't add anything to the story -- from my standpoint. But beyond that I thought it was a fun idea -- I always like stories where the lads start out hating each other and wind up in love.
