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.

Oh, man. This is just fun and really on point. Everyone's voices are perfect and there's some amazing ensemble content - the PPC guilting Pam about not participating in the party is fantastic, as is Creed being the kid whose grandma got run over by the reindeer. The Jim/Pam banter is spot on, and you've really effectively captured Pam's affection for Michael and how fundamentally maternal it is. The runner about seeing/finding Jesus is hilarious. Having Pam's rush of emotion about Casino Night feed their hookup is both very sweet and very real, and Jim Lyistrata-ing Pam into admitting what her favorite Christmas song is is just... SO them.
Also, the reference to Unwrapped did not go unnoticed.
Can't wait to see what you come up with for this Christmas... say, perhaps something Teapot Christmas related, charming smile?

First things first: These prompts were amazing and clearly deeply inspirational. Man, oh, man. Whoever had YOU as their Secret Santa hit the jackpot. :D
Um, how do you write Jam dialogue SO perfectly? I feel like you are a former writer for the show because I HEAR the characters in your dialogue, even in the very simple stuff.
I can't help it, but I LOVE Pam begrudgingly taking care of Michael and his incompetence.
I 50/50 love you/hate you for once again referencing the WORST holiday song in all of creation...but that is some damn redemption at the end. It's my new life canon...oh, wait, I guess we just call that reality. Oh, well. I love the story you created and I'm going with it. Amazing. [I make no promises that in my future fics Creed won't refer to Pammy as Tammy cause...perfection.]
There are too many wonderful moments/jokes...the missing Baby Jesus, Taylor Swift (anyone who disagrees can fight me), melting ice cream cake, Stanley's cookies, "I'm a sucker for a bracket". It's all fine; I wanted to die reading your fanfic so...
As soon as you become a parent, "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" has ALL kinds of new meanings. Good call out. :)
"I thought Santa only came for the good girls" Oh. My. God. Who are you and this is fantastic and YES!! Pam absolutely knew what she was doing in that moment.
Have you ever envisioned a grown woman bouncing up and down, clapping about something she read? Well, that's what I did during that paintbrush/Yule log moment. "At least I stayed on theme" and wine went everywhere. bahahahaha!!
They fooled around in Ryan's office. Does it surprise you that I have Feelings about that?
Hey, so that whole paragraph from "Ugh, fine whatever" to "I'm Christmas music trash" to "words...they didn't need them" left me exposed and vulnerable and why are you putting my life in a paragraph. SO AMAZING! (And I make no apologies IRL for my music choices. Even that one...)
I asked for a PPC fight and I got a goddamn war and I am HERE for it.
Oh my god, that sweet flirty meaningful ending. I love it so much.
Hey, how do you think I feel about this fic, cause I'm not sure I was clear in my Opinions...

That was fun. Nice to see Pam being like this. Who doesn't love a little office steam too? Lots of great throwbacks to a ton of great stuff from the show.

AW THIS IS SO ADORABLE!
And I usually dislike late-season fics too--but I have to say, this Secret Santa exchange has been knocking them out of the park. I especially love the Christmas-song bracket and Michael in his room. So excellent.

This was fun, and hot! The dialogue was great.
