Oh, I loved this. Just what I needed as I woke up grumpy thinking of all the things I have to do today. Luckily, I'm not held captive and I love my family. Which this helped me remember.

What a beautiful story. Loved it.

Not normally a short story person, but maybe I just need to find the right ones.

Beautiful little story on Christmas morning. Waiting for the rest of the household to stir whilst I sip my coffee and reading. My moment of quietude before the chaos of Christmas enfold.Thank you for sharing.

Well. You can laugh at me for saying this but, boy, you are *such* a story teller. Knockout stuff.

(PS: I can always find room for the stilton...)
