All gifts are perfect! reid kitting- priceless
The line: Where's a Katie, there's a Reid" - so cute!

But Luke's character profile:... As he lay there, he thought about how much Luke was a product of, and a reaction to, his family....

Although most people never seemed to notice it, Luke definitely had some of Lucinda’s confidence and arrogance. Luke hadn’t inherited Lucinda’s ‘The end justifies the means’ type of morality.

Luke definitely had some of Emma’s old-fashioned values. ... desire to make the world a better place.

Reid wasn’t positive where Luke’s genuine sweetness came from but Natalie definitely shared that quality with him.

Reid imagined that Teenage Luke had reacted to the Snyder family drama much the same way that Faith was doing now. Reid could see that Faith was going to blossom once she got some space from her parents’ relationship.

Fortunately, Luke had learned how to deal with his emotions in a way that Lily hadn’t seemed to.

Yes, really perfect!

Brilliant!!!! Just brilliant!!!!!! It would have been so cool to see Reid react with those women on the show. Stupid, stupid writers!! They had so much potential. Thank you Santa for keeping the boys alive in fan fic. Its a perfect Xmas present. Thank you!!!!!!!!

[nancygrew]

Thanks for such nice feedback! I could have watched a show that was just Reid interacting with people!

[moerlin]

Aww, thank you so much for the extra gift, Santa!

I love them all, but I think my favorite is Reid/Emma and the knitting. Priceless! :D
And too bad there's not more restaurants in Oakdale so Reid could make a genuine "hobby" out of it, but I have a feeling there's a universe out there where there are more (and Snyder-run) eateries in Oakdale for him to enjoy. ;)

[nancygrew]

I totally agree that there should be a universe where-hey, wait a minute! I wrote a universe where Reid could eat at more Snyder-run Eateries!

Thanks for reading! [I too like the idea of Reid sitting in with the elderly women knitting!]

[moerlin]

Hee! :D Some Santas were easier to figure out than others. ;)

What an enjoyable fic!

The banter in the phone calls between Luke/Reid is perfection! I love imagining them talking like this; keeps things fun. Outstanding!

And Reid hanging out with the women is such a fun idea to explore in fic, and you did a fabulous job with it. It's good that Reid and the ladies are making efforts to know each other.

Just wonderfully done!

[nancygrew]

Thanks! I was concerned about the fact that Luke wasn't physically with Reid in the story but I figured sending him out of town was a good way for Reid to be alone with the women.

This was a fun story. I liked their daily phone conversations. Luke always taking the calls in public places must have been a bit frustrating for Reid and his libido.

I have wanted Reid to get a hobby for quite some time. Maybe he will continue with the knitting. The lunch with Lily was so funny with Lily crying about everything.

Thank you Santa. I have enjoyed reading all the stories.

Thanks very much! I wonder how many gallons of tears poor Lily has shed over the years!
