What are memories but a collection of artifacts; an accumulation of seemingly unrelated tangible objects, lingering indications of something in the past that tie us inexplicably to the present.

1 This was so good. I especially loved your description of the mall at Christmas. That has a certain feeling that you really captured. I also love the 'almost' moments...the Christmas card practice and the mistletoe. I really enjoyed reading this.
Author's Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed it Sprinkles. Thank you!
1 This was...amazing. I can't believe those were your only elements because you had so many other fun nuggets in there too. I love your creativity with Jim's prank. You set the whole scene of the part so perfectly, and all of the dialogue is spot on. My absolute favourite part? Phyllis telling Pam that Jim is her hall pass. Delicious!
1 I love this idea, of putting into the world the bits and pieces without needing a full story. And I love this first piece. It's so beautiful even in the pain and angst.
Pam just wants to see Rex Manning in concert on New Year's Eve. And Jim just wants to see Pam happy as they go into 2009. But will a snowstorm, an ill-fated double date, and a hungry llama stand in the way of their plans?
*Set in Season Five between "Moroccan Christmas" and "The Duel" for the 2021 Secret Santa Fic Exchange
I really enjoyed reading this. It was fun and sweet. The dialogue was all just perfect. I love Jim's new years eve idea.
