OH MY GOD! I will write my review in screenplay format.
PAMELAMORGANHALPERT sits with a MacBook Pro laptop on her thighs, a beaming smile on her lips, her yes beginning to water as she gapes at the screen in front of her.
PAMELAMORGANHALPERT:
'Why did you do this for me?'
STABLERGIRL:
Because I thought you might enjoy it and I knew I was such a talented and incredible author that I just decided 'hey, what the heck - there's no harm, no foul in doing this, I'll just go for it - and succeed. Incredibly. And embarrassingly well'.
PAMELAMORGANHALPERT:
My goodness, Stablergirl, you've read my mind. This is brilliant, and perfect in every possible way, and I don't know how you do it. I love this story.
STABLERGIRL:
I know, I'm a mindreader. Ever since I was a little kid I've been able... to kind of... control things with my mind. You know, just the littlest things. But this story is not little, it's a wonderful happy Christmas present and I knew you'd love the Paris part.
PAMELAMORGANHALPERT:
You're right. I'll leave you be, as I'm only a spectator, a fan, and you're the master. Keep up the good work!
END SCENE.
Alright, sorry that was cheesy and pathetic, I was just finishing my math homework... taking a break, more like it, and I felt like being a little different. Anyway, if you didn't understand, I love this story!

Just going through your back catalog and found this jem of a story and it is just perfect. An absolute slice of Christmas perfection with JAM and sugar on top. I love, love, LOVE this story and hold it close to my fangirl heart -- going right into the favorites!!!

Aw, adorable, great story! It was so cute and well-written. The last part absolutely made me melt.
Great job!

And she felt at home.
This made me teary-eyed. Lyrical and sentimental without being sappy or silly, you've captured how much they love each other in a setting that really does test relationships (I'm still overwhelmed by my husband's family, ten years later). Beautiful from beginning to end.

Just had to let you know that this story was read and re-read by me over the last week and it was truly a high point in an otherwise slow MTT week. Once I saw what you had been working on, and that it would be continuously updated I completely forgave you for the fact that Pam and Scully were still in the basement!! I had to keep checking back for each Comfort and Joy update.
You are by far my favorite fanfic writer and I wish you much time and joy for writing in 2008!!

Nicely done. I really enjoyed this. Hope your holidays brought comfort and joy too.

That was beautifully written! I think you should do a epilogue or sequel with Paris, but that just me! Well done!

This story was wonderful! I loved that even in the craziness of the Halpert house, Pam could find a little spot that was her. And Boo to crazy ex's showing up at Christmas, haha. That last talk between Jim's mom and Pam was so sweet! And a trip to Paris? ahhh, I'm going to stop myself from begging you to write about that! Wait... does saying it here count? hehe.

Sigh. This story was just wonderful and I reread the entire thing again today. You should have seen me at the computer in work crying at the end. She's so happily surprised by the tickets to Paris and he's just standing there quietly so full of love for her, just perfect! I think Jim managed to slay at least one dragon for Pam when they went out for their walk in the snow.
And I forgot to mention how awesome the entire coloring scene was, just so quiet and warm and comfortable and very Pam. Jon was perfect and of course he would pick up on how weirded out Pam would feel with Anne around. And even though Larissa is a gossipy little sister, you gotta give her credit for helping Jim get a clue as to what Pam was going through.
Loved the whole thing. Felt like I was actually there. Great Christmas gift for all of us in the fandom. Thanks and have a lovely holiday!
Author's Response: Wow thank you so much! And yay for rereading!!!! lol I hope your coworkers didn't think there was something really wrong with you...I've been there, trust me. And yeah I love that coloring scene, myself (can I say that about my own story?) I agree, so Pam and so warm! Thanks for reviewing again and Merry Christmas ;-)

Loved this story! Your depiction of Pam is just spot on. I love how overwhelmed and yet comforted she is by Jim's family and the realization that maybe they need a little quietness. It makes perfect sense that Jim would come from a family like this. This is exactly what my family Christmas' are like. Loud, lots of food and board games, and usually utter chaos...it fits Jim's sarcasm and humor, and also how easily he sometimes shrugs things off..comes from living in a big family.
I laughed hysterically when Pam said: "You bought us tickets to Sandals, Jamaica?" Awesomeness.
Another wonderful story! Merry Christmas! You deserve one after all the amazing stories you've been churning out ;)
(Oh...and if by way of a late Christmas present...you could update the XF story sometime soon after Christmas...I could not tell you how greatly appreciated that would be...)
Author's Response: hahaha!! Yes I am actually on the way toward a finished new chapter of the XF crossover, so no worries on that front ;-) Maybe for New Years... And thank you so much for your review, I agree totally that it makes perfect sense for Jim to have come from a large and loud family! Also, glad I could make you laugh hysterically, always an excellent thing. Merry Christmas to you too!!! Thanks again.

I loved your conclusion, and the chapter titles were a nice touch. This is one of my all time favorite fics. I really should have had to pay to get to beta it. You, my friend, are awesome.
Author's Response:
Thanks brokenloon!! I'm glad you liked the conclusion, since I didn't have enough time to send it to you for a stamp of a-ok (wow I'm so not good at deadlines.) And you, too, are awesome ;-) Thanks for the beta.

WOOT!
*applause, cheering, and general mayhem*
Okay, first of all, I have to give you props for writing that Pam's family were "pickers," while the Halperts were "shredders" when it came to opening their gifts! (I wrote a story with Wendy Blue a while back in which I postulated the exact same thing. Great minds, huh?)
From start to finish, this was absolutely magnificent. Really. You should be VERY proud. /Jim. :)
What a perfect way to spend a Christmas Eve Eve evening! Thank you so much for writing this!
Author's Response: Great minds indeed! That's so amazing. And thank you for the compliments and for reading this story. I'm really glad you read it and enjoyed it so much and left me such entertaining and amazing reviews. (and lol, christmas eve eve evening...you are a genius for figuring that out.) Merry Christmas!

Beautiful, wonderful, comfortable, joyful. Thank you for this gem, Stablergirl. Merry Christmas!

What a beautiful Christmas gift for us.
I could live in this Jim and Pam Christmas world forever. You have written a beautiful, funny and touching story and it was a true joy to read.
Author's Response: wow thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it and left a review to tell me so.That's a beautiful gift for ME! ;-) Merry Christmas!

Okay, so it might just be the sentimentality of Christmas and all that is associated with it speaking, but i am fairly sure that your story was just simply beautiful. Really, honestly beautiful. And I am aware I am talking about a fanfic, but goodness it was pretty. What a wonderful writer you are! This is the first time in a very long time I have wanted a white Christmas (I live in Australia, so we're all about the approximately thousand degree Christmas days down here) and the person I love beside me. Oh, look at how sentimental I am being! Your story really was oh so gorgeous, though. Merry Christmas!
Author's Response: oh man thank you so much for this great review! (Australia?! Wow!) I'm so glad I could bring out your oh so sentimental side and have you wishing for a white Christmas. Thank you again for reviewing and Merry Christmas!

That was wonderful! I teared up more than once in the last chapter. A great holiday gift. :o)

AW! I am not a fan of Christmas in the least, but damn if this didn't warm my frozen heart. I love the idea of Jim coming from a huge family, and you just did everything right. Excellent job, and happy holidays to you too!
Author's Response: lol yes! i warmed a frozen heart! Thank you so much and happy happy holidays ;-)

That was so lovely! I'm sad to see it end so quickly, but I loved it!

This was adorable, Stablergirl! I was a little worried for a moment but it was good to know Anne wasn't what I'd feared and that Jim, as we all know, loves Pam more than anything!
Thank you so much for submitting it...it definitely made my day here at work a lot better!
Author's Response: oh good I'm glad I could improve your day! And yeah I had to do something to ensure that Jim and Pam are still the winning duo of names, and that Jim and Anne was not at all a factor ;-) Thanks for reviewing!

This was beautiful and seriously put me in the holiday spirit. I can tell this was good because I totally bought Jim's affection for Anne (the bastard!), almost as much as I bought Jim's love for Pam. I feel like you really captured his love for her without being too explicit (no painfully-written cliches). So, yeah, good job! :)
Author's Response:
I'm so excited that you didn't find any painfully written cliches in this one, cause it was definitely a risk what with the holiday cheer and the warm-hearted theme. Thank you so much for this review! I'm glad my story got you in the holiday spirit!
