Oh my god, it's perfect! I really mean that. The last line = ♥, and Slughorn getting drunk and re-inviting everyone to the Christmas party is wonderful, and poor Remus as the sheep, and I can just picture Snape as Joseph, glaring at poor BabyJesus!Percy. It's just the right level of silly and tongue-and-cheek, but with some hints - like Trelawney's prediction for Sirius or Peter getting really into playing Herod - that tie it nicely into more serious aspects of canon. Thank you so much, secret author!

Thanks! I'm really glad you liked it!

Love this! It's absolutely funny and you manage to foreshadow the whole series in this. Little baby Percy with spectacles, Lily riding away on Rudolph/James, Snape as Joseph, about to hex god... All those great details. Fantastic!

Oh, this was so wonderful. The characterizations were wonderful. :-D

"If I were God, I wouldn’t have trusted those two with the Savior of the World, that’s for certain.”

LOL. I would be inclined to disagree. ;-)

Well, it was a natural mistake for her to make :)

I found this tremendously absorbing, and your work with foreshadowing was impressively smooth.

This had such a nice balance between humor and the what is to come. Much enjoyed!
