| ROTFLMAO! Oh, I remember this one now, but I had to read it again. It's just as hilarious as the first read. I can't remember why I didn't leave my comments here, but I do recall laughing my arse off back then as well at Merry's discomfiture over not getting Errol a gift. :-P Thanks for the laughs! Author Reply: I am very glad you found it again and enjoyed it. I think this one was posted on LJ too. I bet you read it there rather than here. Anyway, thank you for the lovely review. It's always fun to get a review on an older story. | |

| LOL! No, really right out loud! Author Reply: Oh, good! I like it when you laugh out loud. I can hear you better that way. : ) | |

| Hehehe. I loved seeing Merry being put upon for once. Frodo learned his lesson last year, but it seems Merry didn’t think twice about it. I enjoy that Merry’s always so worried that Pippin’s older sisters are going to ruin him, first teaching how to fight wrong and now teaching him how to unwrap presents without ripping the pretty paper. *grin* Author Reply: I really owed Frodo a story in which he got the best of those two. This time I let Merry wind up on the losing side. I think Frodo needed to win so that was my Yule gift to him. I do think that Pippin might have picked up a few lass-type habits after all that time on the farm with those sisters! I can also see it annoying Merry since he isn't bothered with sisters. My mom does that gentle un-wrapping of gifts to save pretty bows and paper. Imagine Yule at Pip's smial with each gift taking forever to open! Thanks for reading! Good to see you on line and I hope you're back in your place before long. | |

| This is so very cute! Love every single word of it! Oh and I just found out that "Errol" means Wanderer, so it has the same meaning as Peregrin. Ahhhhhhhhhhh!*light goes on* I did not know that before! *g* Author Reply: So glad you enjoyed it. Funny how that worked out with Errol's name isn't it. No one has noticed this before. You, my clever friend, are the first! I've never mentioned it anywhere. Also, Errol is a sir name from a Scottish place! How's that for interesting? That kind of makes Errol a Scottish wanderer which is actually perfect. LOL | |

| Beautifully adorable! I love how Frodo can see the expressions on Errol's face. Really, Merry needs to get a life . . . Thank you so much, GW! :-) Author Reply: Thank you! Hope you had a lovely holiday! | |

| “Merry,” Pippin said patiently. “Stuffed rabbits don’t have any money. Errol doesn’t give Yule gifts. He’s a stuffed rabbit.” Pippin sighed and gave Frodo a knowing look. Ah, I love the duo of Pippin and Errol. :) Author Reply: Pippin and Errol are quite a force when they want to be. So glad you enjoyed it and thank you for reviewing! | |

| This is priceless! I love that Frodo comes out on top for once - usually Merry and Pip tie him up in knots but he was prepared this time. He was certainly enjoying watching Merry sqirm on this occasion! Merry Christmas, GW! Author Reply: I did think it was Frodo's turn to win one of these encounters. I owed him in a very big way. Besides I like letting Merry have a turn in the hot seat. LOL Hope you had a lovely holiday and Happy New Year to you! | |

| Ah, our beloved Errol and his preferences--and Merry's ability to think on his feet! Silly Merry--he ought to know that Errol doesn't eat jam! Heh! Excellent save on all sides. Author Reply: Yes, Errol's love of jam is a misconception in this case. On the other hand one can hardly blame Merry since Errol, through no fault of his own, seems to wind up with jam in his fur quite often. hehehe | |

| “But what did he get Frodo for Yule?” “Merry,” Pippin said patiently. “Stuffed rabbits don’t have any money. Errol doesn’t give Yule gifts. He’s a stuffed rabbit.” LOL!!! As always Pippin's logic is just wonderful and very persuasive. Merry should know that it is hopeless to argue with the little Took. But he's Merry, and he loves to argue ;-) Anyway, I'm quite sure Frodo enjoyed *your* gift as much as Errol enjoyed his! Author Reply: Yes, it is pointless to try and win against logic like that. I do hope Frodo enjoyed this one. He came off looking very clever in this and I did owe him for past torture. Thanks for reading and I hope your holiday was a happy one! | |

| Why is it that *Merry* feels like the irrational one in this chapter? :) Either way, I love this. Author Reply: Funny how that happens, isn't it? If there is only one rational person in the room then often they do look irrational. Merry was in the wrong place at the wrong time. LOL Glad you enjoyed this one and happy holidays to you! | |
