This is a great story! Because I am not a grammar, spelling, or punctuation cop, I'll let these so called experts have free reign. All-in-all this had great flow and had emotional elements to boot. Great job!
Should’ve been in the humor and satire category so I’d have known to avoid it. Except it wasn’t funny…
Wonderful story - a real flight of fantasy! I've enjoyed your stories and this one is in a class of its own. One pet peeve, however - it's the University of Notre Dame but perhaps you were referencing one in another part of the world! Thanks for posting this at just the right time.
LT56 the second chapter is AWESOME AWESOME. thanks (ps you need anther proof reader)
Perfect. I wish you happiness and good health in this season fo celebration. *****
Good story and exceptionally so as a Christmas tale. Thanks for something on the happy side.
A lovely story to warm the heart on one of the coldest nights in 30 years! Stay safe everyone, as I read this story it is -36with wind chil !!!!
What's not to love about this story? Bear Delivers... as usual. 5/5.
Homophones … different words which sound alike.
Peek - glance (often covert)
Peak - top of a mountain, or maximize training for an athletic event.
Pique - enhance interest in a thing (physical or not.)
‘pique’ probably derived from ‘piquant’ Spicy like hot peppers, horseradish or black pepper.
The story was a bit corny (but, yes, it is your story). But, your final paragraph says it all. Happy Holidays to one and all and Happy Birthday Jesus.
Merry Christmas , Sir , to you and yours ! I missed pt. 1 and just read it . I was surprised to find how close we are situated to one another . I'm one county north on 45 in Prison City. I love all your stories that I've read . I have not read nearly all of them yet . Keep on w/ your stories and MERRY CHRISTMAS from the FROZEN NORTH exit 114 !
LOVEYLY!!!
Reminds me to read “Christmas Crackers” again.
LOVE slap-hapy-papy #9
Thanks for the chuckle and smile. Only one nit to pick. When Mother Nature enters, like all mothers with naughty sons, she would have called him Christopher, not Chris. Lol.
That was awesome! I wished it was a little longer but hey it was great anyway. I laughed my @$$ off when I read the Coca Cola jab that was priceless.
Great Christmas Story, love that you include all the characters that we grew up with. Thanks
Obnoxious and lame, but thanks for the effort. Merry Christmas!
Great storyline only mistake i noticed was the size of his room being 40 square feet that’s the size of a closet thanks for a fun holiday story
Finished the story with a smile on my face. You’re one of the authors I look forward to! Thanks for sharing.
An old curmudgeon
Loved it. I think I'm not inappropriately speaking for the BTB fans when I say that we would love to live in a world where love, honor, and magic exists.
Hail your Christmas tale of joy, family, and love and here's to seeing Michael as the next Santa.
From one fellow Texan, I want to say thank you I really needed to read this today. I have enjoyed every one of your stories so far. May all your stories remain equal if not better than the ones before. Merry Christmas to you.
OK. First part is a gem. There's no way this one had a chance of meeting such a high standard. That being
Still, it's a 5 star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ story. Merry Christmas! For unto us a child is born.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Thank you for sharing your talent.
See you in 2023
Just a small nit pic...she said I'm evicted in 2 days, Santa said give me 2 weeks...???? Also, did she ever find out he paid for her house? I didn't see where she mentioned it, or thanked him. Liked part 1 better. 4*
Thanx!

Great story. We all do need happy stories. Please continue to write and bring us peace and joy.
Thank you for this fun gift.
🎄 🎅 Merry Christmas 🤶 🎄 and God's Peace & Love to all on Jesus's Birthday - and every day going forth
Thanks to everyone for their comments. It went over better than I thought. I tried something different with this story. i do make a few mistakes, inadvertently, but this time I put one in on purpose to see if the anons and nitpickers would find it. They didn't. Even in a G-IV, you can't go Southwest from Alaska to New Jersey-witout refueling in Patagonia or Iceland. Thank you all for the kind words. Again, Merry Christmas!!
The BEAR
What fun story and I agree with mattinw where do I apply to be the successor. Have a Merry Christmas
Thanks for writing
Well i think it was great. I like happy endings n wala we have a great ending. Thanks for all ur hard work n time it was enjoyed n appreciated.
Simply wonderful and Mrs Mary Clause needs to tell her husband they are expecting twins!
'The ceiling was twelve feet high and covered in filigree. The forty square foot room also sported an en-suite bath with garden tub and walk-in shower.' Forty square foot room???? That's 4x10 feet!
I loved the premise of Santa be pretty much a normal guy with a little bit of magic. There was a good bit of fun in both parts of this story. 5 stars
Real essence of Christmas...
Birthday of Jesus Christ
Touch the souls of deprived and depressed with love and care
Loved it. A great Christmas story. Wish I could give more than 5 stars. One slight misstep. My closet is bigger than 40 square feet LOL. Other than that it was a great read. Thanks!!
I absolutely loved it, it light heart ed , fun, and a joy to read. Please take poetic license any time if you turn out works like this. Thank you
Absolutely💯% delightful🥰💓💞💕💥💫

A sweet, caring, VERY CLEVER, compassionate and love filled story. EVERYBIT of what Christmas is and in keeping with Christ's teaching.
This is a story I desperately needed today..possibly my last on this 🌎 earth.
I'm so grateful to you for this.
