I very much like the extracurricular activities you have them engaging in. Totally plausible in canon yet unexplored.
Author's Response: Yeah we didn't really get to see a lot of Jim and Pam's dates. At least this early in their boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. It's fun to explore some of that.

As I said in ch. 1, you always do such a good job with the incidental details. This chapter has that in spades. You should be proud of your scene-setting.
Author's Response: One of my favorite authors once said about writing, "paint a picture with words." Glad that approach is working here.

Oh ho, so this is a the-doc-is-real fic. I like it. Nice work Jim (and warrior).
Author's Response: Writers strike, doc crew strike, potato-potahato. Why come up with something really over the top when there's an easy out that serves the purpose just fine as to why their first Christmas wasn't filmed.

I'm glad your Jim admits he did the card; that was my least favorite part of the other classic fic. As always, good work on the details around the action.
Author's Response: I was thinking of going the secret sender route, but as you say it's been done, and I think Pam's smart enough to figure things out. That and I think at this stage in their relationship she could kiss a confession out of him fairly easily if he tried that.

A very fitting end to this lovely tale. Pam’s final present to Jim was beautiful. This entire story was just pure sweetness.
Merry Christmas, Warrior! Wishing you & yours all the best this holiday season.
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it. I was kind of stuck about what Pam would give Jim, then thought of all the ways I've seen JAM go AU and her gift here was the result. Thank you for all the wonderful feedback you've provided through this story. Merry Christmas.

So glad Phyllis's gift was finally appreciated! Thank you for that!
And Pam's gift:
So we’ll always get the timing right.
Perfect!
Author's Response: Thank you. It was fun to think up these gifts. Glad you like reading it as much as I did writing it.

Ah yes, a wonderful use of the give Michael a present he likes as to prevent a Yankee Swap disaster... That seems about right... A nice glimpse into what the office party could look like - probably running a fair bit smoother than any of the years we see in canon...
Author's Response: Michael's energy is like that sometimes. If you can direct it in a safe manner you stand a better chance of it not blowing things up. I figured the office deserved at least one normal Christmas party considering everything else they've all had to endure over the years. Thanks as always.

Well now, that’s some imagery I was not expecting in a Christmas fic! Mose is such a joy. Loved the reuse of the jinx. I don’t know it I’ve mentioned this already, but it’s great to see you exploring this rather underutilized/unseen Christmas.
Author's Response: Thanks Jenna. There are really only a few instances in the canon time frame where we don't really know what happens other than during the breaks between the seasons. The big break in S4 is the biggest one where we don't know what happens so it's a lot of fun to explore especially as it was during the Jim and Pam are dating phase rather than engaged or married phase. Thanks for your great review as always.

These have been such fun to read - a treat to have one each day, too!
Todd Packer IS such a Monday.... I think the dialog between Jim and Pamin Chapter 6 was spot on. Ch 6 had such a nice energy followed by a calmer ch 7. I'm looking forward to going back and reading this as a whole when you finish. Thanks for writing!
Author's Response: Thank you for your kind words. I'm very glad you've been enjoying this story so much and that the Jim and Pam banter and other story choices have been working. It's been a lot of fun to write this as well. Hope you enjoy the rest of it as well. Thanks for the review.

Very literal take on the geese there - thanks to Dwight’s antics... The prank was a classic (with a twist). Very fun to see.
Author's Response: Thanks. It was a lot of fun to bring this one together.

Ohmygosh, the mental image of Jim, Dwight, Phyllis and Stanley staring down Todd Packer is such a delight! I'm just giggling as I watch him slither away with Michael! Great scene Warrior! :)
Author's Response: Thanks Clover. I've been wanting to write a scene like that for a while. I'm glad you enjoyed it so much.

This was the epitome of the Mondayist Monday to ever Monday... Five teal teapots is the perfect gold rings for Pam & Jim!
Author's Response: Kinda what I figured too. Thus needing the power of Teal Teapots of Love to slay such a fiendish beast. Glad you liked it.

I’m slow to review at the moment! Their weekend together has been pure delight. I cracked up a little at “four calling phones.” Very in keeping with the original. Although, I definitely think pointless meetings could have been utilized for a far higher number knowing Dunder Mifflin - 10, 11? 400? 😉 As to the Home Alone inspired pranks, maybe so. They’re elaborate enough. Although, I don’t think Jim ever sets out to cause Dwight any sort of bodily harm...
Author's Response: Not ALL of the Home Alone traps cause harm. There was one where one of the bandits got covered in feathers for example. I'll have to think about it. The nice thing about the meetings being lower on the list is that the pictures on the card are bigger since there's less of them. Trust me when we get to the higher numbers that'll be a good thing. Thanks as always for your review. I'm glad you're enjoying this so much.

Oh, this is super cute.... I will let you off the hook for not updating "Dancing with Shadows" because this is so enjoyable. And I can picture each card in my head so well! Wish I could have a copy of each! Thanks for writing!
Author's Response: Thank you. Yeah it's kinda hard for me to get into an angsty head space during the Christmas season. Glad you're enjoying this one too. You can at least get a copy of the first day picture. Check out NobleLandMermaid's online store and go nuts. Happy to have you here for this one too.

Loving this story so far. Really sweet and fluffy and Christmasy. Can’t wait to read more
Author's Response: Thank you, it means a lot to get such wonderful feedback. Lots more fun to come.

There’s never too many Christmas fics in the world! I’m excited to see where you go with this. It’s totally in Jim’s wheelhouse to do something sentimental and lovely for Christmas. I’m interested to see which other images make it into Jim’s Christmas collection/12 days.
Author's Response: Thanks Jenna. The rest of the list should be a lot of fun to explore. Glad to have you hear for this one.

Love this Warrior! So creative and surprising (I LOVE surprising!)and just glowing with warmth and love. My needs are quite simple and you fulfill them in this chapter. Keep 'em coming!
Warrior, I don't think I've ever told you how impressed I am with your prolific-ness! And everything you do is so rich with detail and always the Pam and Jim that we love --- totally in-character! That hits all the marks for me! Thank you!
Author's Response: Awww Clover, you're welcome. Since we didn't get to see how Jim and Pam spent their first Christmas together it makes it ripe for a new story. Glad you're liking this so far. The rest should be just as fun. Thanks for the words of encouragement. It's always a wonderful thing to get a review from you.
