All Comments on 'Observing Christmas Traditions'

This, without a doubt is one of the best themed stories in a long, long time. The mixture of family, love, tradition, tension, and sex was perfect. As a parent of adult children myself I could easily see myself in the story. Well written and very well edited, there were no distractions from getting the full effect. Fabulous effort!

You seem to know exactly what to mention and exactly how to describe it, without ever intruding on the story itself. The dialogue is natural and well paced, and there's a gentle, evocative air to the story which intensifies as we breeze over the arc. A five from me :)

Very nicely done. Good characterization and nice pace. Hope to see more from you.

it says it all. EXCELLENT !!!

What a great story! I loved every word. Thank you so much for sharing this.

I loved it it was a great storey. I hope you write many more.

KW,

How long was this in your head? We were there with you, living in their pictured souls. Glad you shared it with us on Lit.

I just love happy Christmas stories!

Thanks

Touching, romantic, emotional, passionate, and exquisitely written. Well done! I'm looking forward to reading more from you.

Too much a "Romance Novel" and too predictable, but a good read. Erotic description was good

What a great romance story. This is one of my favorite stories. I always like a story with a happy ending.5***** toby9790.

"Cinderella's slipper didn't fit this good."

Delightful turn of phrase. . .

A tad 'stock-standard' as to the plot-line, but you do a great job of portraying the passion as they finally admit their love for each other. . .

I suppose the story line is both traditional and largely, although not entirely, predictable (the exception being my anticipation of a little something more from Maggie, a wonderfully sketched character with intriguing potential, who appeared and disappeared all too quickly). The difference between this and other similar stories, though, is this one - yours - was so exquisitely written. Picturesque, heartfelt and entirely believable (without, I thought, too much schmaltz). Very nice story, indeed. Thanks.

I like fresh peaches better than worn slippers.

well written and very very magical

One of my top favourites! Excellent character and story development! Well written and story flow! I particularly liked the interplay of the sisters. Should be a 10, but the story voting can only allow a 5 as the top score. Sorry.............

So it seems like she always had a thing for Charlie.... WELL what was the skank thinking getting fucked by so many in the house before FINALLY letting Charlie IN??? but she is such a good girl don't you know...BEWARE Charlie she will break your heart and cheat eventually.

too cheesy and cringy as fuck. whiny and immature charlie, looks like he just matured in body but still thinks like a pubescent 14 year old. stopped reading when they finished baking the pie.

Still one of my all-time favorites here. To the folks who don't like it, Hey, this is the

"Romance" section of LIT. If you don't like this one, you are definitely in the wrong section. Maybe you should go look at the "SMBD" section, or maybe the "Incest"

section would give you a little more thrills.

5 Stars

My favourite of all times...great job!!

One of my all-time favorites.

Without a doubt, one of my top three favorite stories here on Lit. I don’t understand why it’s scored so low, it should be a perfect 5. In my opinion, it is.

Because some of us feel bad for Maggie perhaps?

What a great Christmas story. So well written with intimate characters. Believe it is one of my favorites on this site. Many bravos, and thank you.

... I was kind of hoping Charlie would end up with Maggie. Seems like she had a crush on him and she seemed the more lively sister. I know “Claudie” (ugh) was a main character so we knew how it would end but she seemed much more suited to Robert. Loved the “I... shit...” when she saw them kissing!

I dig it up and re-read it every Christmas.

Like the previous commenter, I too had a soft spot for Maggie, but I think that was just a little crush. In the end, probably Claudia had the deeper connection with him.
