A beautiful story movingly written. So pertinent especially in this current economic climate. I also love the message that Santa can be anyone, not just a character who arrives at Christmas. Thanks for sharing. Regards Debbie

Mike,
I'm sorry I got behind in my reviewing and missed this poignant Christmas story.
At first it's incredibly sad, then it opens so a euphoric conclusion.
Congratulations on your much-deserved first place win.
Hugs and Blessings, Mike

I loved your story. It touched my heart, and it was, indeed, a much deserved "win" of a Christmas story. I also liked your comments in the author's views about how Santa is. Congratulations!

Comment from Aiona
What a lovely story! I can see why it won the Christmas story contest. It makes me think of a movie I saw last year. I wish I could remember the name of that movie!
I had one question.... did Lily say "Merry Christmas to you, too," or was there a decoration on the door that said it?
I wasn't sure, from this sentence:
Lily smiles at the beautifully decorated door, saying, "Merry Christmas to you, too."
It would be so sad and yet funny if it had a wreath that actually read that.

How many six stars did you get for this piece? I can't imagine anyone reading your story giving less. What a beautiful story. Have you written a book? If you have I bet it was a winner. If you haven't, do it. It is sure it will be. A book of short stories like this one - Oh my, words aren't enough. In other words, you did good.
Have a happy New Year,

Hello, my friend. I think this story received 5 six stars and of course, a 7 star for winning the contest. In books, I'm trying to finish the third entry into the Gabe Hope series and so many story collections. In all, I think Fanstory said I've got 450 pieces on here. Thank you for your kind words and shiny six stars. They are deeply appreciated!
Have a great day, and God bless.

Congrats on your win. Lovely story and well written. Indeed, in my opinion Santa should exist everyday. We are our brothers' keeper and, if we don't, no one does. Good reminder. ann

A beautiful Christmas story, Mike! I enjoyed the calming sentiment and the feeling that Christmas would never come for Landon. It had all the elements of Christmas and the meaning behind it. Best, JohnC
Congratulations!!
