ALY!
First off, you said “ass.” You made my day, thank you!
Second, THIS WAS SO CUTE! Everything about it made me blush *BADLY*!
The matching pjs, the baking cookies, ice skating, EVERYTHING.
I love the gifts they gave each other, so fitting. The backstory to the necklace is beautiful! You and Katie did a great job on that one. What a great way to kick off the real holiday season too! Loved it!

This is so fluffy and I loveeee it. I love Christmas so much and this fic was perfection.
The way Jim lights up everytime Pam lights up made my heart so happy.
Awesome job!! This was spot on fluff and goodness.

Okay. That has got to be the cutest thing I've ever read. I loved how Jim played along with all of Pam's activities, even though he's not quite as enthusiastic as she is. He loves making her so happy.
And, of course, you know how much I loved the children's art set as a gag gift, and then for him to top it all off with the heart pendant? Amazing. Pam's recreation was also so sweet and heartwarming to imagine. I love the way it begins, with the "Why are you wearing this?" "Because I'm in love with you." Like JUST KNOCK ME OVER WITH A FEATHER why don't you?
Fantastic chapter, all the way around.

Girl, this was so amazingly sweet. I love how Jim goes along with all her plans simply because he loves her so much and knows it makes her happy. The steamy parts were perfect, the casino night recreation was perfect, and it was just such a cute Christmas chapter. I loved it soooo much!!

I love camping Jam! If you wanted to write a whole chapter that was just them in the tent, I’d be down for that. I think you captured the supporting cast voices well—Michael and Dwight especially—and the sexy bits were excellent. I’d probably let Jim have his way with me in the middle of a snowy hiking trail, too, TBH.

This is so wholesome! Every character, every scenario, all the JAM bits are so on point. Can totally see this playing out and being a bumper episode--so so well done!

wow this was absolutely adorable! like one of the other reviewers said, it’s like the perfect, sweet mix of beach games and company picnic. as i’m writing this review with freezing cold fingers though, i couldn’t even imagine having the stamina to do any of the group activities :P
(ps- i think “yellow” is the song of this chapter title, just in case you wanted to fix it)

i love this collab and this chapter! It's just like booz cruise and beach games except nice and fluffy instead of angsty!

Oh Michael, he wants so hard for people to like him, but it just always goes astray, doesn't it? Thing is, winter camping CAN be a lot of fun. Snowshoes, cross country skiing, snow ball fights, sledding, make igloos, sledding, stuff like that is great fun in the winter. But the traditional summer activities in the middle of winter? Yeah, I get why people would be annoyed.
Jim and Pam at least seemed to make the best of it. Loved how they snuck off for at least a little alone time during the sumo wrestling. Nice that they could find some time by themselves.
Otherwise a delightful chapter of Office hijinks that was a lot of fun to envision.

I love a good camaraderie event fic!
The details in this are really fun – Kelly and Stanley putting themselves in jail so they don’t have to participate in Capture The Flag, Dwight refusing to take part in the trust exercise, the officer calling Dwight Dwayne.
And you’ve done a good job creating some very cute Jim and Pam banter here.

Girl.
GIRL.
You wrote everyone so perfectly in this!! It was hilarious and so spot on. And all the Jam parts were just... *chefs kiss*.
Also don’t ever apologize for long chapters because they are amazing, every word. I loved this so much!!

Aly, this was utterly amazing. Truly. Where to even begin?
Of course Michael would take them on a camping trip in the middle of December. Only he would make those arrangements.
Jam keeping warm...huh, that innuendo has *never* come across my mind.
Dwight *WOULD* want to hunt for food.
Poor hangry Pam, I don’t blame her one bit.
Goddammit Dwight, ruining them in the ten- oh wait...made up for it by running off. ALY YES.
Oh Sheriff Eric...
This was a *wonderful* chapter to read! Can’t wait for the next update!

This was insanely funny to read. You did an amazing job capturing the characters! It was also crazy fluffy which I absolutely loved.
You really nailed this (twss?) But seriously soo so good!!

Wow!!! This was so freaking good! So funny, so clever, I feel like this could have been a real episode on the show! (Minus all the steam though, so I guess it's a good thing we get to have it on MTT because the steaminess was to die for.)
There were so many scenes that I feel like could have been actually in the show, but I think my favorites were the trail mix flop, Michael dealing with the lighter fluid, and Dwight's comment about hunting season. You're a genius, no other way to put it.

This is so delightful, WW! I loved seeing what Thanksgiving would look like for them since we never got to see it. The office part was spot on and I really loved your take at the Beeslys. That felt very real and Jim’s response was perfect in his Perfect!Jim way. It looks like you guys had so much fun putting this together and I can’t wait to see what else you have in store!

Love this! So adorable. This is favorite JAM time and it's a shame we were deprived of it- so thank you a for this! Really looking forward to the series.

This is adorable. I love that you guys decided to team up and give us a peak into what the missing parts of S4 could have looked like. Jim and Pam are just great through all of this. From dealing with Micheal and the 1st Thanksgiving, navigating the stormy wates of 2nd Thanksgiving, enjoying the calms seas of 3rd Thanksgiving, and basking in the hot waters of 4th Thanksgiving. They feel delightfully in character here. Still enjoying the newness of their boyfriend/girlfriend relationship while building on the connection they've always shared. Loved it and I can't wait for more.

First, I am SUPER excited that you all are taking this on. The writers' strike cost us so many milestone moments with Jim and Pam, and that gap demands filling, dammit. (TWSS). Looking forward to seeing what you all come up with!
I think the general foundation here is really solid - this all-too-real conflict of having to trudge through multiple Thanksgivings so that both people in the couple can meet their obligations is a fun thing to see them work through.
I love the Thanksgiving breakfast - a classic Michael failed scheme. The turkey fiasco and his attempt to cover for not getting approval on the vacation days he promised feel VERY appropriately Michael-esque.
I think my favorite thing about this fic was that you dove into Pam's parents a little. I've always thought that the way their marriage end up collapsing probably told us a lot about Pam and Roy's relationship, and this image of a very Roy-like Bill Beesly that should really be explored more.
And the fourth Thanksgiving was just lovely.

Well, this is rather exciting! Straight on the bookshelf! And a great start, too!

I know you know this, but I am SO excited for this. Everything we've been talking about finally coming to life. This was a beautiful first chapter to start us off. From Michael's shenanigans, to Jim helping out Helene, to Pam and Besty being so close, so their little thanksgiving in the middle of the night. (I'm sure they're very grateful for each other after what they did (; ) The ending where Jim says that the wishbone could promise him nothing better than Pam crushed me in the absolute best way possible. Once again, a fantastic way to kick off this collab that I am so stoked for!!

Girl! This was so adorable. I laughed so much at the office thanksgiving. Michael bringing a huge amount of undercooked turkey burgers is spot on.
And then everything with Pam's family felt super real. I thought it was very indicative of Pam's parents' relationship that Pam describes them as "intense," only for Jim to then notice that they hardly speak to each other during the day. I love how Jim steps in and helps the situation.
I think my favorite line in the chapter was “Hmmm, turns out you go pretty well with Dijon mustard too.” I don't even like Dijon mustard. But I'll make an exception for a Dijon-flavored Jim and Pam kiss. ;)

WW what a GREAT way to start. Michael’s Thanksgiving was definitely a Michael’s Thanksgiving to remember! The hinting to Helene and Bill’s future divorce, and the third thanksgiving with the Halperts were great! And that ENDING! Ooh girl, that was fire!
LOVED this

WW, this was so fluffy, so cute, and just the sweetest little look into their first Thanksgiving.
Poor Michael with the not paid vacation days...he really tried.
I loved the parts where Jim goes to help Helene and Pam fits in seamlessly with Jim's family. It truly shows how well their lives piece together.
11/10 for an awesome first update!

Aw! I loved Jim taking over for Helene and letting her spend some time with her girls. That was so sweet and very in character for Jim. Pam getting so excited over Christmas music was cute too, and I thought the wishbone part at the end was so sweet! We definitely were robbed of season 4 holidays so I am looking forward to seeing how you ladies get us through those missing episodes. Good job, WW!
