The phrase, "the quiet secrets he hadn’t even gotten around to telling himself" is simply amazing. It encapsulates perfectly everything that Jim felt and imagined in that one moment. Pristine. As much as I loved Larissa staring him down until he paid attention, the second half of this chapter was just fantastic.

this was like someone had tapped into his subconscious and made real the quiet secrets he hadn’t even gotten around to telling himself.
That is a killer line. Wow. Just...wow.

but this was like someone had zipped open time and pulled his future out of the closet…this was like someone had tapped into his subconscious and made real the quiet secrets he hadn’t even gotten around to telling himself.
Guh... WOW. You can certainly turn a phrase, you know that?
And then there's your knack for dialogue. You've given Jim's family--Larissa especially--such distinct and real sounding voices, I'm having a hard time believing you're not just transcribing some secret Halpert family audio tapes. :)
I'm so impressed.
Author's Response: LOL transcribing audio tapes!!!!! That made me laugh so hard! Your reviews are amazing thank you so much, you have totally brightened my evening!

God I love this story. I mean TRULY LOVE it. You have captured such an enchanted holiday mood along with some Jim-and-Pam tension. I really can't wait to read more.
"Because suddenly she was terrified that this meant that Jim had an M.O. Suddenly it seemed like Jim was this certain type of guy who over-romanticized and who fell in love and had his heart broken over and over again, and Pam was just another tragic romance in a long line of many." This line, I think, is what most intrigues me. For some reason I love the idea that Jim has a serious romantic past. I think it's because we know that Pam had been with Roy for a long time. Most stories seems to portray Jim as having some past relationships, maybe a sort of serious one, but never one like his with Pam. To me, this puts them on more equal footing. I hope that makes sense.
Author's Response: Ugh I know I love that idea too. Wouldn't it be so juicy if we just like found out Jim had been engaged in college or something?! I would flip out probably but it would be a really interesting character twist. Anyway, enough of my AU rambling, I'm so glad you enjoyed this story so much!!! Thanks for the review!

Wow. A Christmas story by Stablergirl...that's already written...and that's completely awesome...well, this sounds like a Christmas present for ALL OF US! Honestly this is so great. As I was reading about the perfect Halperts and their perfect Christmas I was getting a little bitter and hoping something interesting would happen - and it totally did. I definitely think it's plausible that Jim could have been keeping something like that from Pam and I can't wait to see how you have them address it. Hope you post more soon. I totally got spoiled by these five chapters at once!
Author's Response: right? five chapters at once of something is like...wow...jackpot. That's why I thought I'd just post this all and let everyone enjoy it for Christmas. Anyway, thanks so much for this great review! I'm glad you like the story and I'm glad you enjoyed the interesting twist of Anne ;-) Gotta throw in something to muck up the perfection, right?
