That was fun. Loved how they get the guitar and dollhouse back. Maybe bad Juju for Creed and Angela, but just right for Jim and Pam. Great fun throughout everything. Love the picture of the crayon box sled too. 100% Pam for sure.
Thanks for bringing this one to life. Happy Holidays!

Writing Creed was a blast. Did some deep diving to view the younger him on the vinyl. Also discovered the clown is by a real artist, Marian Stachurski who created circus posters. The original says Cyrk. How'd you like how I connected the clown art to the Halperts pranks?
I'm glad you enjoyed my holiday fare. Looking forward to reading yours.
Wishing you music, gifts you can use, the love of family and lots of GOOD juju for the new year.

I didn't see it coming in the first chapter, but I did fairly early in this one. Those two really are just destined for each other. I liked how they went about researching all the various ways to sell the dollhouse and guitar. Then when the gig was up on Christmas it had a good feeling of wholesome-ness. They realize how much they're alike and not mad at the other one. Looking forward to seeing where we go from here.

I figured that you would. It was written with many clues. Did you know the story it mimics? That was hinted at in many ways from the very beginning?
But glad, you enjoyed their planning phases...I really leaned into what was happening in the season in that part.
Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Really liking the set up for this one. They're both starting to think of things that have fallen by the wayside a little bit. Things that have meant something in the past, but life got in the way to keep going. I'm really liking it so far. Great details and imagery with it all too.
Author's Response: Thanks. As you know from my stories I like to create some behind the scenes elements and stories the the cameras didn't catch. This is no exception. Glad you are liking it.

So what tickled me most here was Pam and Jim's learning about Belsnickel well ahead of his appearance in season 9. Next time I watch that episode it will be with this head canon.
Great job getting the elements in there too (some of mine were on your list) and visions of Pam and Jim happily enjoying the holiday and the fireplace always a good read.
Nice job. Happy New Year to you.
Author's Response: Thanks Max! It was a deliberate call forward so well spotted! :)

The start was just so festively warm and cute and makes me want Christmas all over again!!
‘Lucky for her, it was the strong and silent type and an excellent confidante’ - this made me actually laugh out loud.
Your Dwight was spot on and the whole thing was very funny and cute! Great work!
Author's Response: Really pleased you enjoyed it and I'm glad I did made a decent hash of Dwight's voice!

Ooof not who you want knocking on your door on Christmas morning! Especially when you want a 'lazy morning'
"It’s small, but he has short legs, so it’s fine.” really tickled me!
This was great, Merry Twixmas!
Author's Response: Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

This was all very cute. Well done on getting all those elements into this one. The images of Jim and Pam curled up by the fire was delightful, especially with the implication of later activities. Same when they wake up next to each other on Christmas. It's always fun peaking in on them as they wake up in each other's arms. Dwight just showing up out of the blue though was very unexpected. At the same time it was a heartwarming moment because of the Dwight/Pam friendship. Also good on Jim for not messing with Dwight when he's in the middle of a minor sort of crisis and on Christmas. Shows that Jim is a good guy.
Delightful story to be sure. Loved it.
Author's Response: Thanks Warrior! I hope it was just that bit silly but with plenty of JAM romance.
