Even though you've touched quite often on the theme of loneliness during the holidays with these stories, you've also managed to do something quite unique. You've also managed to focus on a different facet of each of the characters personalities and that is amazing. It's been a treat seeing sides of the characters that rarely are explored.

Also, I really enjoyed Greg here - he basically has what amounts to a walk-on role and he hardly says a thing, yet as readers we aren't allowed to forget his contribution to the story at any given moment.

The entire mood of this piece is whimsical and hopeful, which is something we can all use in our daily lives. Thank you.

Thank you. I appreciate the appreciation. :)

I'm glad Greg worked. Although he was a suggestion of the original prompt, I had a bit of uneasiness about using him, not sure if he would work. And, well, maybe he works mainly because Harry is so stunned at what he did that he can't stop thinking about him!

Thank you!

I feel a little bad about that, but hey, they're not actually on stage to feel the spit.
