I've never read any of your stories before, but I'm going to make the effort after reading this one. Thanks!
Absolutely the best Christmas story on this site. Good people happily sacrificing for each other. She is real and a good person, even if a little too fiesty at times. He is shy, good , and caring without being wimpy. Love your characters and your delivery.

A well written and charming little love story.
Yes, it was totally predictable, but that doesn't take anything away from the story. Perhaps being less than average height myself contributed to my enjoyment.
Happy Holidays 🎄
What a beautiful Christmas love story. I liked how they met, but it was a bit crude at first. You developed their relationship very well and I loved how they became closer and closer. Please keep writing, I really liked it!!
I did like it but I thought that there would be a real hot scene befor the end. Now don't think I'm some kind of pig for saying that but with no real sex in it. I wouldn't call it an erotic story.
What a cute and entertaining story. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Well done!
Great Christmas story
My wife is competely blind, so I read romantic stories to her.
We totally enjoyed reading your little tale. She especially loves stories with understated sensuality and you delivered.
Very nice story and very sweet with no big surprises (including gropey Santa) but definitely no disappointments either. 4.5 stars.
Magnificent story!!! I look forward to this being a yearly Christmas read! Thank you for sharing another well written story.
What's not to like? It's a sweet story that, in lesser hands, would have been treacly. One of the things old farts like me grouse about is the dearth of intimacy. Oh, there's plenty of sex in the world, and the sex has become athletic entertainment, and some/many try to make sex masquerade as intimacy. But the truth is that sex, when indulged in prematurely, destroys intimacy. The way we're wired, we gotta get naked with each other emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually -- in a word, personally -- before we get naked with each other physically. That emotional/intellectual/spiritual nakedness is like foreplay. Rarely if ever does it work to go straight to the orgasm and skip the foreplay.
To me, dear Trionyx, that is the big point your lovely, sweet story illustrates. I can only hope our young people can learn the lesson.
5 stars and my deep gratitude.
After posting my comment, I checked out "For the Love of Holly" because one of your other commentators mentioned that the soup kitchen where Noelle volunteers is an hommage to that other, earlier story. I was delighted to find that it, like yours, supports the proposition that a true life-giving, life-affirming sexual intimacy is contingent on the prior establishment of personal (i.e., emotional, intellectual, and spiritual) intimacy. To me it's all amply summarized in the aphorism, "Before you get naked physically, have the guts to get naked with each other emotionally.
Beautiful story! I like that the protagonists were not blessed with "god-like" bodies and no numerical physical dimensions are ever used. I felt that I was in the apartment with Noelle and Reg, spying on them...
Sweet. Kinda far fetched… but still kept me interested and engaged. Again good writing!
