Ack! Pelican pie!

*dies*

I almost thought Ducky was going to refer Tony to your story when he asked about Halloween. That's what I would have done :-)

I really love these holiday stories of yours. I hope you still have a few left to tell us all about. I have a feeling I should write about Ziva constructing a shed in the NCIS office for Succot ;-)

Thank you, Fiona. I'm really glad that you enjoy these stories. I love writing them, even though they take longer than a 'normal' story, as often I'm writing outside of my knowledge base. I'm sure I can find more holidays.

*Giggle* Nice idea.

There is a Jewish festival called Succot (literally: sheds) to celebrate the escape from Egypt. During this time families construct sheds (usually four posts with some kind of fabric around and on top) in their gardens or on balconies or wherever they can and have all their meals inside them.

Oh, thank you for the explanation.

I'm delighted that you enjoyed this. And I hope that you have a lovely dinner too.

hee hee, a great story and a little history lesson rolled into one. Quite fun, I loved the image of everyone sitting together and just chatting casually away. A little break from the dramatics of NCIS

Thanks so much for sharing mon amie :D

[nakeisha]

Thank you, my friend.

I'm glad you enjoyed it and the 'history lesson'.

I'm really pleased you liked the image of them away from the office and relaxing. It is a nice break.

Thank you for reading and commenting.

Miss ya *hugs*

[nakeisha]

And you.

I explained in a locked post to you and a few other 'chat' people why I haven't been around.

That was lovely. You have me hungry now...sigh

Loved how the kids were together. I was amazed that PP was being civil and mature. That had to be so difficult to write.

Good show.

*hugs to the fellows*

Thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed it, even if it made you hungry.

Thank you. I'm glad it worked okay.

*Giggle* Yes, it was. I thought that it would spoil things having her her usual self, and I certainly didn't want her at the dinner. So Bob gets her instead :-)

*Hugs you* And the fellows say thank you.

Fantastic!

The story read really relaxed, well yeah, it was a relaxed setting *snickers*

And another history lesson!

Love it:D

[nakeisha]

Thank you so much, Anita.

I'm glad that you enjoyed it and that it relaxed you.

And yes, Ducky likes giving history lessons :-)

*Ponders what 'holiday' to go for next*
