Aw, so cute. You've done a lot of difficult things really well here, First off, the dream in the beginning is very cute; lots of times "and then she woke up" can feel like a bit of a cheat, but it really works with the way Tonks is worrying throughout the piece about whether Remus will make it home in time. It's really cute she dreams about him calling her Nymphadora, and her not minding. Which is, in a way, a hint that it's not real, LOL
( ... )
The first paragraph or so was a little more jumbled and stilted, and it didn't really set the mood. However, by the end with Tonks in her red and green hair, I was feeling the Christmas spirit.
I loved the both Remus and Tonks wanted to get rid of their kids and have some alone time (Wait...that didn't come out right. :D). Maybe just a little work on connecting sentences instead of blocking and chopping them off is needed. :)
Ah, a howling baby; what a way to wake up from a lovely dream. I like the "Will Santa still come?" question and the truthful 3-year-old-tact in the "I like him when he's not crying" lines from Emma. Very sweet. And what a Christmas gift! Alone time! And finishing up with thoughts of Mad-Eye's kissing abilities really made me chuckle!
This was a nice read. I really liked what you did with the children - they didn't take the story over, they acted like real children, and they had normal names, which was a very refreshing change! And you got some good lines into it as well; I think my favourite is Tonks imagining Remus' eyebrows waggling at her suggestively, though the one about Mad-Eye is a close second, and I also liked Tonks morphing her hair into festive colours, to match the candles etc.
I hope this has got you back into the groove again and Happy Christmas!

I will take your ideas into consideration. Thanks for the thoughts! Um, if I were to revise it, would I re-post it here, or what? Just wondering.
Thanks again!!! ^__^

Oh, and could you do a word count and add that in? Just helps the readers and the record keeping. :)
