This was such a cute story, filled with all kinds of fun and sweet little details, which I always love. I think my favorite parts were 4 and 5, but only because I love the fluff and sweetness of them being together- but part 1 was definitely captured that bittersweet feeling that came with a lot of the Jim/Pam interactions in the first seasons.

Thank you for writing and sharing this story with us!

Thank you for finding it and reading it and commenting after all these years! It always makes me smile when the MTT site reaches out from my fanfic-writing past. :)

 I loved writing this one. It was delightful to live with them over that whole span of time.

So many awww moments here. The cutest thing ever and I can totally see Jim telling this story for real. So super cute

Author's Response: Thank you! I had a lot of fun writing this one. Glad you liked it too.

This is hilarious, but also feels like it would end in disaster no later than Stress Relief.

Not knowing what the teapot card says is DEFINITELY part of the appeal. Also my jaw literally dropped when he took the letter haha. I get far too into these two!

Angela just has a radar for detecting shenanigans, doesn’t she?!

Sprinkles DOES know she’s Angela’s favourite haha - even more than Dwight is!

I'm actually glad you gave us only the Pam card. I liked what you did with his. And good on them for dealing with Karen.

Don't ask me what I'm doing reading Christmas stories in the middle of May but I was in the need of a quick Pam/Jim fix and this was one of the shorter stories on my bookshelf, that I knew I wanted to read. And despite it being closer to "Flag Day" than Christmas reading this sure put me in a joyful spirit.

I absolutely adore ensemble dialogue and scenes and the ones you described here were so on and funny.

I'm also a sucker for the Pam/Michael relationship, especially when she is putting her mothering skills to use with him and in particular when she is helping him with the Holly relationship so I just loved the bit there.

Creed's true life Christmas song story is perfect - how do you come up with this stuff?

A lot of fun here. I'm looking forward to your next holiday fic.

I love this sweet story, and I especially love the short scenes here and in later chapters of Dwight and Angela. Very nicely written, as are Jim's reflections on them.

Author's Response: Thank you so much! It was really fun to write a little bit of Dwight and Angela for a change. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

It's the teapot letter in reverse - very clever.
I can appreciate that Jim's pig Latin prank gave her just enough hope to continue the prank.

Even though we don't get a transcript of the letter I think what she wrote was so poignant and heartfelt.

I always love to hear the lines or scenes that resonate for readers so when I can I like to point them out in my reviews-

He was evolving and she wasn't part of the evolution. That was a great line. As was the took breaking up to get a decent present.

I love to bake, especially holiday cookie but I've never used a press and now I think I might need to try one. Looks like fun.

Nice to see these two having some fun again.

The benefit of waiting to read this is thanks to Peacock's Supersized episodes - I knew the Jan at the office reference.

On to cocoa and cookies.

Congrats on knocking out a WIP! I throughly enjoyed these last two chapters and laughed out loud at the Dwight and Angela bit. The pickle ornament was perfect. I actually have one, too, so I really got a kick out of that. Lovely little way to button the holiday season. Excellent job, friend!
