Ah, they went to each other's houses! Too cute.
This dialogue was VERY Jam:
“Rather than eating ice cream and watching bad Christmas movies, not really. You?”
“Something similar, I was going to eat cookie dough and watch ESPN.”
“How about we compromise: cookie dough and bad Christmas movies.”
And the exchange about her not getting him anything for Christmas was perfectly Hallmark-y!
Author's Response:
Loved writing that part! And I'm glad you enjoyed that exchange, I try my best to replicate their banter as best I can. It can get tricky.
Like I said, Hallmark wasn't what I was going for, but like I mentioned, I'm so glad you got that out of it.

Really cute here at the start. Them going to the other's place like that. A Christmas morning confessional too. They both needed it. Very much feels like the kind of healing talk they both needed. Then for Pam to take the lead and start out with saying their a couple and admitting her love for him. Loved it. Really living up to Fancy New Beesly there.
Author's Response: Yeah, I had to go with the gazebo. I was originally going to go with Jim's place, but I thought them going to each other's houses would be funnier and then go full Hallmark. And Pam deciding to take chances was great because she's seeing them pay off; her fear of failure explains a lot regarding her character, especially in later seasons, so her deciding on both murals and eventually Athlead has her coming full circle.
