Fantastic, lovely, and über-romantic. No sex (yet), though - bummer, that.
I'm not a cryin' kinda guy & you had me at the 2nd paragraph.. well written, heart felt, touching & most of all real... thank you.... thank you
Think you captured the spirit of Christmas, at times I think we need gentle reminders. Merry Christmas!

The warmth and pathos of your characters here actually had me hoping that the great story would not be tarnished by raunch - and it wasn't! Stephanie, you have proven yourself adept at absorbing your readers, regardless of the style - X, R, PG or G - well done (here and elsewhere). You are one of my 2 favorite writers{*} on this site for the humanity you consistently convey in your stories. Thank you!
Happy 2010,

I thought the characterization was excellent.

There's nothing like a warm-hearted Christmas tale to make you feel good. Thanks, Stephanie Rose, I really enjoyed 'Substitute Santa". I'll go to bed tonight with a happy glow.
A wonderful warm story about giving at Christmas time. Not having enough to eat and still give the Gift of Christmas is a story too many families go through in this country. We mustn’t forget why we celebrate Christmas. What happened all those years ago, is the real beginning of it all. Merry Christmas
