I wish these were things they'd both said on the show.

It's funny you should say this, because this all started with me thinking how much I hated the ep Lexmas and thinking about what I would have done differently with it.

It always amazes me the way you hone in on pieces that meant a lot to me in writing. The Christmas Present section and Chloe were probably my favorite parts to write. I find her very insightful and therefore very useful - if there are things I personally want to say to Lex, I usually give them to her to say :)

I didn't do a full reread of the Dickens in prep for this - I would have liked to, just no time - but Scrooge arriving at the Cratchitt's in his PJ's is definitely in some iteration or another. So I can't take credit, except for thinking to borrow it :)

I'm so glad you enjoyed this. While I always value feedback, I hope you know I respect your opinion very much and so it means a lot to get such a comment from you.

I'm beginning to think you're a liar about disliking Christmas.

I may be a liar :) It takes me a while to get started, is all. I spend all of November and much of December grumbling; but it always finds me in the end.
