It isn't the story I thought I'd read it was much better and thank you for submitting it for all to enjoy Merry Christmas to you all
...a little over-sentimental, telegraphs its punches too much, (although the parents was a nice touch), and the kids' dialogue was waaayy overdone - but, in keeping with the sentiments of the season, five stars.
...it could use some editing, mostly for spelling and occasionally for word choice. "covertness" should be "covetousness," "moseltof" should be "mazel tov" (two words), that sort of thing.
Solid work, it just needs tinkering.
Wasn't what I expected at first. Sweetly sentimental with enough drama to make it spicey.
I enjoyed your story very much. It would make a great movie......
It has all the right parts, love, hope, despair, happy ending!
Something to think about....
This was a great story....something one can connect to.
It had all the "right elements" as someone rightly wrote. It's a real Christmas package.
THANKS!
What a lovely story, I got misty on several occasions. Very well written and the characters are very believable. I would love to see a second chapter or more about Beth and Miss Kissty!
Lovely story. I laughed at the "Kissing Santa's Elf" line, think of the song "I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus."
By the end I was wiping happy tears from my face. I'd love to read more about this family.
I loved this story. It shows the true meaning of this season, that we should love our fellow beings no matter who or what they are and we shouldn't be so judgemental of others. Please keep writing stories like this. A good story and great sex.
It brought a tear to this old man's eye. I wish you a very Merry Christmas ! ! !
I'm a male, a Dom, and I'm choked up reading this story. Nice job, my compliments. Merry Christmas.
Good story, very touching. The middle felt a bit rushed, but it had a great ending.
This was a great Christmas Story. You have done the world of erotic literature a great service. May you and your family have a Blessed Christmas and/or Happy Chanukah.
This is the typs of story that I really like reading. Being a hopeless romantic makes me wish it was nuch longer. Thanks for giving us the reason to remember why we celebrate and enjoy the holidays with family. Ollk forward to reading more.
Thanks and happy holidays!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing. I thoroughly enjoyed it - it was so sweet
This was one of the best stories I've read,of any genre. Great details,great plot.Simply fantastic. I hope your holiday season gives you everything that you want.
Thank you! You get it! It isn't about religion, but about the heart. A good person is a good person, no matter what religion, race, creed, etc.
Every time I read this I cry...and before anyone asks, yes I'm a male.
I love the fact that someone would help another person in need and then have them fall in love. The Jewish vs Christian celebration was an added touch that made it seem even more special.
Thank you and I hope you continue to write for us fans here at Lit.

i've read this many times and it still brings a tear to my eye thank you for a really great and moving story
I think I had read this shortly after you first posted it. I have reread this a few times since as the message seems so timeless and sincere. It's definitely on my favorites list. Please keep blessing the rest of us with your great stories.
I loved the story!
But brush up on your Jewish terms a bit;)
I'm Jewish so I notice them more, but it would only make your story even better.
Beautifully written :)
Still more then a month tell Christmas, but i needed something heart warming on a lonely cold snowy night, this definitely hit the spot.
I'm printing this one out to read over and over again.
Thank you.

I do not often vote 5 stars or even leave comments but I thought this was a very well written story & it has an excellent message. I even borrowed a quote from the story - "It's your life to live. You will always be my daughter, but you have to make the life you live. Every decision you make has a price. You got to pay it, not me. We all have to answer for our lives when the time comes. As long as you can live with it, who am I to cast stones." - I found this to be a very direct & a real sentiment. I seriously enjoyed reading this story & look forward to sharing it with deserving friends . . . Thank you
this is all the best story yet! ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, please add to it if you could
Really enjoyed this romance across divides,dont follow religion personally,but if thats your bag.Good writing,not bad erotica,a bit scant but well portrayed,keep up the good work & write more please
This deserves more than 5 stars. You could even remove the erotica and it would survive with a clear message for the masses.
I did enjoy this work.
Author, you showed the petty insignificance of the organisations of specialised religions, and still managed a great Lit. story. 5*
As I prepare for the upcoming yuletide season I reach for those things, like this absolutely wonderful story, that remind me of what is so important during this special time. Friends, family and loved ones are and should be the centerpiece around which we build the celebration of the birth of someone that taught so many the power of love and forgiveness.
Thank you, again.
I read this story some time ago and lost track of it. I have now added it to my favorites. Very nicely done!
This is the third time i've read this story and though i'm an M.O.T. we always had a tree and presents at my childhood home. Anyway I always tear up whenever I read this story !!!
I've just read this again, for the third year, and I will read it again next year. Thank you for a beautiful Christmas tradition.
This is one of the most amazing stories i've ever read thank you for sharing it
Doesn't matter who you love. Love is a beautiful thing.
Thank you so very much for sharing this with us, I think you are a wonderful writer!
This is not my usual lane, but this story is about love, and compassion, and paying it forward, lessons all of us need to be reminded of now and again. I enjoyed the romance and the kindness of it, and the polarity of the main protagonists made not a whit of difference to me; everyone needs someone, love is love, after all, and now, above all else, is a time where we need to remember that love and compassion are the only things that will get us through the dark times ahead.
Kudos to you for brightening my day and reminding me that kindness and simple humanity is the key to our survival. 5 well-earned stars.
I've probably read it a half dozen times by now, and each time I come back to it, I enjoy it more than the last. Thank you for sharing it with us!
sweet and simple love story for Christmas.
I have to admit I`m glad a big deal wasn`t made regarding the fact that one was Jewish and the other wasn`t, to me it really would have spoiled the simplicity of the tale.
as always a great story, thank you for taking the time to share with us.

I think that Christie's religion really carried the Christmas feeling - the open love for the stranger, offering freely, asking nothing. Had she been Christian, I think that her beliefs and actions could have just looked like "part of the season". Having a Jew understand and hold up the spirit and ideals of Christmas makes this story especially wonderful.
I loved reading this story and how they found each other and the love they have for each other and the two boys hope you will write more about this family and how the boys do at school and make friends and Beth and Chrissy do the house up nice you our a fantastic writer please write more soon thank you. xxx
And I come back to it from time to time. Thank you for sharing this with us!
So, this is the fourth time I've read this cute little story. If only every Christmas could be that meaningful.
This is probably one of the most heart warming Christmas stories I have ever read.
The mixture of the two faiths was special. The boys will know both what Elf Kissty and Mom believe and they will better for it. I have added this story to my Christmas Anthology.
Wow, what a sweet story. One of the best! I especially liked how you brought her faith into the story. Thanks so much for sharing your work with us.
Re-reading this after the copycat story that published today. I hope you did authorize that as claimed and it's not just plagiarism, but I can't quite figure out why the author felt it was necessary. The conciseness and beauty of this piece certainly did not need to be re-worked, and certainly not in that fashion.
All the new one added was more than double the length, while losing all subtlety and grammatical coherence, plus repeated, crass use of the unfortunate word "milf." A shame.
