| Sweet story for a difficult time but blessed as well as you indicate by the very end - love that and the Gaffer's words. Merry Christmas and Happy Yule! Christ is born! Glorify Him! Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: Thank you, Antane! They do indeed have much to rejoice in. Merry Christmas to you and yours! | |

| I'm quite sure that Bell was watching over them. And she was pleased to see how well her family worked together. But what I liked most were the Gaffer's words. Not so smooth as Bell's might have been, but still perfect for the occasion! Author Reply: She raised a lovely family and picked a good husband and father to lead them. :) Hamfast may not be eloquent but he says what's in his heart. Thanks for reading! | |

| I love this from the Gaffer's point of view. A difficult Yule, but joyful for all that. Author Reply: They do have much to be grateful for, even as they miss one so dear to them. Thanks for reading! | |

| I always love it when you write about the Gamgees when Sam was small. (((((“You’re welcome, lad.” They both knew they meant more than just the tools. ))))) I love that line. It says so much all on its own. Lovely story. Author Reply: Wee!Sammy is adorable, isn't he? Fred and the Gaffer may butt heads, often and with enthusiasm, but there's no denying the love and respect between them. Glad you enjoyed this! *hugs* | |

| Oh, this was so sweet! Loved Halfred and Sam's interactions--poor little Sam's going to miss his big brother. And you slipped Roverandom in! LOL! That was just too adorable! Author Reply: Thank you, DF! Halfred is such a protective brother, Sam is bound to feel his absence quite keenly at first. Roverandom seems like the perfect sort of story for Bilbo to write for Sam to keep his interest peaked for his lessons. :D Thanks for reading! | |

| It's a new life for a youthful Hobbit going out on his own. Love the gifts, and foresee a life not necessarily in keeping with the Gaffer's ideas of propriety for Halfred and Hale. At least he has that feeling of home-going that tells him he's headed the right place for him. Author Reply: hehe! Good thing they are so far up north - Gaffer won't have to hear any of the torrid details! A pair of mischievous tween lads such as Halfred and Hale are bound to get into more than their fair share of (innocent) trouble. Halfred will find settling into his new home easier than he thought possible. Thanks for reading! | |

| How on earth did I manage to miss this? It is exquisite! Dear Marigold and dear Tom as they realize they care so deeply for one another! Heh! Truly delightful, particularly as he gives her the second wreath. Now, that was a good touch--except now the other lads are looking at Rosie? Now Sam is certain of his sister's happiness, it appears he might do well to guard his own! Heh! Author Reply: Glad you found this, and glad you enjoyed it! Tom is a lucky lad that Marigold realized her feelings for him so soon - he undoubtedly knew of his own long before now. hehe! Sam will be on his guard for any lads being too aggressive with Rosie, but they too both already know where their hearts lie. Thanks for reading! | |

| Good advice to his younger brother about the place to be is where the heart is, counsel we know Sam will take. :) Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: Ah yes, he will remember it well. It helps that the Gaffer will later tell him much the same. At least Gaffer and Halfred agreed on that much - though probably for different reasons. ;) Thanks for reading! | |

| I really liked this peek into the Gamgee household. The use of scent was very evocative and the gift of the pipe was a geat idea. We can feel the pain of leaving loved ones behind, but I was also glad that you ended it on a happy note. Life can be so bittersweet at times. Thanks for a great mathom! Author Reply: You're welcome! Life is indeed bittersweet. The good always comes with the bad, as it does here with Halfred. He's not one to linger over the bad though, and food always makes everything better for a hobbit! Thanks for reading! | |

| Oh, yes, very easy to loose track of a munchkin, especially when not used to watching them, it's quiet, they're asleep, I can read a bit more and two hours later when you wonder where they are you can't find the little dickenses! Bye the way the closest the British get to American biscuits is a plain scone. Huggs, Lynda Author Reply: Especially a little sprout as quiet and unassuming as Sam is. He wouldn't want to disturb his betters. :D Bilbo learned a very important lesson - never take your eyes off little ones! Biscuit here is the cookie type, not scone. So confusing when we use the same words for different things. :) Thanks for reading! | |
