All Comments on 'Carol's Christmas'

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely great.

Nice one. Although an absentee dad getting sole custody of the child in a divorce is probably the most fantastical element here. Adrestia might have taken a few creative liberties with the predictions there.

Definitely something different. Loved it. 5 *. Thanks!

Not your usual fare, Enjoyed it. Thank you and Merry Christmas

Excellent as always. I think Dr. A is enjoying helping people avoid major mistakes. Not everybody deserves 2nd chances, and too few get them, but it a nice reprieve from dispensing justice all the time. Happy Holidays and I look forward to your next submissions in 2022.

ST... Thank you so very very much for this wonderful story. Perfect in every way. KUDOS

Mike (and) the Mechanics? LOL!

MERRY CHRISTMAS SADDLETRAMP

Fucking brilliant.

Noice! …very nice! Loved this story so very much! As usual I love that you brought your universe into this storyline. Everyone needs a feel good story that allows the main character to challenge and overcome their limitations (even with a little divine help). Thank-you again ST for your talent.

Just right for Christmas

If this story is not a fantasy, the wife will proceed to cheat on her husband, got divorced and the husband will pay for her wife to fuck other men and take they're child away from him

Excellent different style story.

Wow, one of your best, ever! Your "universe" is a tremendously nice place where some really good stuff happened in this story! Hopefully, at least for Christmas, the BTBAAC Cabal can accept that she stumbled, yet is not beyond redemption.

.

Nearly a perfect effort!!! 5+++++/5!

Happy holidays ST

I love you

I like the universe you live in. Yes old idea but i did enjoy the read.

Thank you and merry christmas

As usual, wonderful story line and well written

What's remarkable about this story is its high score. The story has nothing new to offer and the writing is pedestrian at best. The MC is full of himself, as usual, and the plot is telegraphed from the beginning. Stories like this serve a purpose, I suppose.

I intend to finish this but I just have to say, if anyone ever dared call my husband names within earshot let alone my face, they would swiftly find out what my fist down their throat tastes like. You best believe

Another great story told with typical ST aplomb. 5*

Great story Thank You for your time and effort for your work . Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

5*

I recently watched the classic Scrooge with Alastair Sim. I like your take on the theme of redemption. Well done! Thanks for sharing this.

Merry Christmas ST!! A Fan

Tricking LOVED it!! Merry Christmas!!

Hurry back you Tramp!

ST1956

Boy did I need a happy ending...and you sure delivered with a contemporary twist on the Dickens masterpiece. It been a shit year for everybody all over the globe and it was easy at times to fall into the depression trap. Thanks on my behalf, since I can't speak for anyone else, for helping to pull this old widower out of the pit. Seasons greetings to you Saddletramp and all your family. Bless you man!

Nice twist on an old favorite

Loved it! Another great story from you and no one died!

An easy 5 stars from me.

Have a great Christmas holiday and I hope to read more from you in the New Year.

As usual a very good story with a difference.

I was really liking it until it swerved into the btb cliché nonsense. Quite frankly, there is no believability in the wife taking full blame here. The husband is an absentee father and husband. It doesn't grant the right to cheat, that's always wrong but his arguments hold no weight when his kid and wife are miserable. I wouldn't put up with it personally. I wouldn't go out and hop on strange dick but you can bet some very hard discussions would be had. I know the btb was what might have happened but its less realistic than 19th century ghosts, avatars of justice and the greatest American hero spinoff

Loved the story. and like your attitude!

One of your best stories ever.

Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Great story. Thanks for the Christmas present. Have a Merry Christmas.

Thank you for this Christmas present.

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Simply put, outstanding! It's never too late to right wrongs, or stop yourself from making a terrible mistake.

Beautiful! I'm sorry a "5" is the most I can give

Awesome work, as usual. Always a pleasure and Happy Christmas to you and yours!

so cute as to be syrupy. Ugh

Which part of 'this is a story' did you not read or understand? Of course there's no reality here, this is a fantasy, not a report of court proceedings, no reality was implied or stated overtly at any point, why didn't you get that and go with it? Jeez louise, if you want reality, don't read stories here, instead buy a newspaper, switch on the television, or look out of the fucking window. Idiot.

5 stars, great Christmas fable.

Another fine one by saddletramp

And in top of that he introduced Some unusual music to listen top

After all the regular Christmas carols, a change

You must get tired of the five star scores.

Thanks

Happy Holidays, Saddle. Cheers.

Another excellent story. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

I’ve been searching high and low for my missing Christmas Spirit. I lost it on my 19th Christmas. With your help and this story, I found it again! Many thanks! Best Christmas gift ever!

Jiam

Excellent modern twist on the original Christmas Carol. Thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

A good 1!

Another great story about how one mistake can change the course of many lives. I love how she was pulled back from the edge and learned before the mistake was made not the norm from Saddletramp but it fits the season and for once a feel good story. Great read and very happy ending

I seldom fish in the LW pond, it's so full of worthless cuck stories why bother. Every once in a while i look, this particular author caught my eye and the story rating was high enough to justify looking at it. Boy, what a disappointment. How do stories like this even get a rating of 4, much less above that? After reading all of the favorable, almost groupie like, comments I had to ask myself, "is it me, or are there really that many people who wouldn't know a good story if it bit them in the ass?"

Yes, I read the disclaimers, his world, his fantasies, blah, blah and if you don't like it fuck off. Stuff like this proves one thing, LW doesn't get any better, it only gets worse.

There should be a movie made from it

Ur best yet

I've got so used to your blood & revenge work that I'd nearly forgotten just how well you spin a tale. This was a really well done riff on Dickens - your 'usual suspects' did a great job in their roles (brought to mind an old SS06 Christmas story, but this had a bit more depth & heart, honestly). I love this & it's going in my 'favorites'.

Just a little eye wetness. Must be my allergies.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas ghosts saving one slut at a time. Where carol went wrong at was going to lunch dates with her boss, telling her boss her business relating to her and her husbands relationship. She certainly shouldn't of allowed her boss to disrespect her husband like that. I would've punched him in his throat when he started belittling my hubby. That would've put a stop to the whole "I wanna bang you" parade her boss been putting on. I don't understand going out to lunches with your boss, especially knowing this person is not a friend, he just want to get between your legs. he don't give a shit about you losing your marriage. I don't understand telling outsiders about whatever rough patch you got going on. That's none of their business and it opens the door. This is why Jake felt so comfortable calling Ray names. People also need to stop using the word "friend" so casually. A real friend wouldn't try to ruin your marriage, a real friend wouldn't try to turn you into a lying, cheating deceitful slut. A real friend wouldn't try to undermine your relationship. They wouldn't use what you told for ammunition to fuck you. That's not a friend. That's a snake that should be avoided at all times

A pleasant tale for the time of year. Yes, it is fiction but the underlying moral still rings true for the season and all year at that. I just don't need to read stuff like this first thing in the morning. Made me almost "ugly cry". As always a good job saddletramp1956

I’ll admit to thinking ST goes too far in a lot of his stories. But this one was a very, very good story and I very much liked the way he brought Justice and Dr. A into the mix. Five full stars.

Great story, ST. Only issue is that Silent Night wasn't translated into English until 1858. Five stars Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year to you and yours.

Loved it. Please keep writing.

Another great story with a happy ending. Thank you for making my day.

Really lovely story, great read!

A major tug on the heart strings. Thanks for a much needed heart warming tale. Merry Christmas, Mr. Tramp.

Awesome, just friggin awesome ST56!!! Thank you so much for all the entertainment your stories have provided this past year. A very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you and loved ones. 5*+ See you in 2022.

Thank you...... 5*

Glad she took heed of the warning she was given. Too bad it took an intervention rather than her doing it on her own because it was the right thing to do.

Good story. I enjoyed it, as a nitpicker I am forced to point out that Silent Night wasn't translated into English until 1859. But in the Saddletramp Universe it might have been done earlier. Or, in Texas, which had a lot of German immigrants, the O'Peace family might have been singing it in the original German.

.

Five thumbs up.

The Scrooge in me was crying out the whole way thru,

'too campy', but at the end the ghost of Christmas Present, one Saddlebum, won me over. A feel good, happy ending story designed to entertain and inspire. Thanks.

Clever, creative, and entertaining!

Who started peeling the onions in here?

This plot gets unearthed each year and used in every type of narrative storytelling there is. Why not here?

Good job.

Great story - quite a surprise! Why must AngelRider be so grumpy about this? Some of us HAVE to work away from our families to provide for them (I worked 5,000 miles away for 18 months) but my wife never strayed! Yes - it happens but in this story, it DID NOT!

How can anyone not like this story? Beautifully written and edited. Thank you so much! 5+*

I pretty much agree with AngelRider....still I don't give a crap. This was a great Christmas story and I liked it better than every one of you other stories.

Now THAT'S a story!!!

Great story, really liked the ending. Merry Christmas!

liked it very much like to know about next year.

Mhm, good like always but this time I would have said that divorce may still have been an option. But her divorcing Ray. If you remove the cheating from the story there is still the fact that he was a part-time father and husband without a need to be and without argument for it. Sure, she can take the blame for being a bitch the last months/years but she did have a reason to be a bitch.

Where is the 6 star option????

Once again, another great ST story. Thank you for a story that does more than just tell a tale. It makes no difference if people can believe the theme or not, this is something that I can imagine happens every day. Yes, I'm not stupid enough to believe in the makings of Cam, Dr. A, or Justice O Peace, but maybe they do happen in our minds and therefore, I believe they do exist in a way and they can influence our lives.

Thank you for the reminders of what can happen in our lives. I know because I have seen it more than once in my 70+ years.

I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year as I eagerly await the ST's next year of stories!

Timed just right for the season but not as good as normal.

Definitely your best story. Thanks for this well written and entertaining tale.

Let me be the first to say it if it hasn't been said already - BAH HUMBUG!!!! Scrooge was misunderstood and bullied relentlessly.

A perfect pre Christmas story. Not sure how I'd feel about it in July. Not a big fan of Christmas but the child in me really like your story. Thanks and merry Christmas.

Actions have consequences Scrooge type tale.

Nicely done and a great fit for the Holiday Season.

Merry Xmas.

Not a religious person, not in the slightest, but I really loved the story.

Thanks.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your family. As always I enjoy the way you spin a tale!

I very seldom give more than 3 stars for good stories. I so few times give 4 stars that I believe some of the best stories on line get them.

I read these stories for entertainment and only that. I like your story for those values of entertainment so much that I gave it 5 stars.

I could care less about your critics who wanted the various types of stories such as BTB or others. Your writing told a story and told it well.

Thank you for writing it. Have a great new year.

Best thing on Monday morning is a stiff dose of Saddletramp. Just like every time a bell rings an angel gets it's wings, every time there is yet another great Saddletramp story ten simpering cuck stories fall into oblivion. Merry Christmas, sir!

I appreciate the way you took a modern approach to the Dickens story, but I find it hard to believe a real, modern version of Scrooge as a female mother and wife would be all that loved by either of her immediate family members. Nice to see her finally become a bit of a human by the end, but she was rather unlikable from the get-go, even without the cheating. Seems a bit crappy for her to admit to having feelings for another man, and to go so far as to 'shave her pussy' for him while her husband was away. That's an intention to cheat, right there, with or without going through with it Ray is a little quick to see past that. Finally, one thought of hers seemed out of place for even her Scrooge nature, that, or it makes her intentions even more real and closer to the line that can't be forgiven, when she said: "All this because she [sic] wanted some strange cock, she thought to herself" I dunno, overall, this was more interesting because of the modern take on Dickens, than as a LW story. She got off pretty darn easy, considering her intentions before magic stepped in to save her.

He was not a father ,neither a husband. Just a visitor in his own home and marriage. And honestly i am sick of the stories here, using children to btb. A child would not treat his mother that way. A loving mother. Especially with an absentee father.

I was able to overlook he fact that any DFW area company would have a corporate contract with American (so would never connect through the United hub in Denver), and 5 ⭐️ for a Mannheim Steamroller fan!!

Well done, as always.

Overall liked the tale. Though why the wife was critiqued for working long hours but not the husband....

As usual, you’ve written another great story. Keep up the excellent writing. Merry Christmas, my friend.

Thanks for the cute, enjoyable story. Some may not like it because it didn't have any cheating or hot sex in it other than Carol's vibrator scene but overall it was a fun read for this Christmas season. A lot of people don't seem to realize that this is a writer's fantasy world and doesn't need to be 100% accuate, it's meant to tease the mind. We all thought Carol was going to fall under Jake's spell but were surprised when she didn't.

WONDERFUL!!!!!!!

Creative and very well done, so it's easily a 5. Now, would you improve your writing by getting rid of tired LW cliches? Here are a couple of examples: "Thank you, kind sir.." and "falling on X's dick" is another. There are a few more in the story. Others show up n you other pieces. You write too well to need to rely on worn out, grossly overused phrases. As for "Indian" vs "Native American", was it necessary to go full woketard? There is nothing offensive about "Indian". It commemorates a famous error, and "Indians" were not the ones who demanded the change in language; it was the "progressives" who pursued the change as part of their agenda for creating bogus ethnic issues to advance their "divide and conquer" political and social strategy. Indians, in fact, originally resisted the change because, among other things, it lead to the elimination of team names that they recognized honored them (The controversy at Stanford is just one example). An Indian, no matter the tribe, is no more "Native American" than anyone else born here. If you want to genuflect to the lefties here, why not be accurate and call Indians "Siberian Americans" or "aborigines"?

Masterly transformation of probably the best loved Christmas story ever.

After the Annus Horribilis we all have had in 2021 lets hope 2022 shows a marked improvement like the ending to this tale.

Merry Christmas and cant wait to read more in the new year

This is such a heart warming story so appropriate for this time of year. I really love these returning characters and the universe that you have created with them. It is wonderful to actually see a story where the spouse sees the error of their decisions before they happen. Loved it.

Another great story 👏 . Added it to my favorites. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOURS ST.

Thank You for this wonderful story, just what was needed in these uncertain times

Good Christmas story ... I liked it.

I noticed one thing that appeared to me to be just a small timing error. Cam returned Carol to her hotel room at 1:55 am. The return time was actually 5 minutes before he visited her. I believe you probably meant to have him return her at 2:55 am, or 5 minutes before her next (3:00 am) visitor was supposed to show up.

Otherwise, nice job.
