Goodness gracious!! Your stories are always so good, & this 1's no exception! Oh where to start!? Hurley as jolly ol' St. Nick? *tears of laughter* All that stuff about better days? * sentimental tears...@ 1 point tears of laughter when Charlie mentioned his guitar as an afterthought* Interestingly enough, what I liked best was the simple pleasure of some1 referring to Charlie as Aaron's "dad". Although he pretty much is, in every sense of the word, I don't see many people referring to him as such in fan fics...& certainly not on the show! It was nice to see :) & the way you wrote the whole segment of Charlie crawling into bed w/ Claire to the very last line was simply beautiful! <3 Simply amazing job!! *clap-clap-clap-clap!* (p.s.~ Sorry this review's so late!)
