Merry's Magnificent Yule   by MarigoldG 5 Review(s)
Grey WondererReviewed Chapter: 1 on 1/20/2013
(Sighing in relief, Merry was happily relieving himself in the coalscuttle.)LOL

Tonight, I was on line messing about and reading some of my older favourites and came upon this one. I know I reviewed it on the challenge site but that was a while ago. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I still adore this one. I was laughing out loud as I read it. Thank you for giving me so much entertainment this evening.
And I know you won't see this for a while since your internets are sick, but it felt wrong to enjoy this and not say so. Cheers!

Merry OWES Pippin for this Yule! And I love the song of the knickers.

Very hilarious! And you managed to get the nakedness and the coal scuttle and all in there very well! I truly love this challenge of Marigold's.

Author Reply: The song is great, isn't it? Llinos is brilliant at songs and poems especially.

I am glad that the story made you laugh! I had so much fun writing it! I am so glad that Grey Wonderer inspired this Challenge!

Poor Pippin. The things you do for your friends!


Author Reply: Yes, Pippin tried to be very grown-up and sort of pay poor Merry back just a little for all the care he's given Pippin over the years, but it was not pleasant! But I know that he didn't regret it at all : )

Thank you!

Oh I agree with BB's every word! Including the bit about laughing too much to review last night. I do pity whoever is going to have to do the cleaning and washing a Brandy Hall! And I can see the pictures and hallways being regaled with that wonderful song.

Author Reply: Thanks! I am so glad that you enjoyed the story and it made you laugh! That makes me very happy : )

I'll bet the servants at Brandy Hall get paid extra for cleaning up after parties, lol!

The song is great isn't it, and so very hobbity! Llinos is amazing!

*wheeze* *gasp* By the time I'd finished reading this I was giggling hysterically and my sides ached. The bit about the coal scuttle completely finished me. Marigold, this was priceless! Thank you for making my evening. I delayed reviewing until this morning, simply because I could not have strung two coherent words together!

Oh dear, poor Merry - what a state to get himself into. And poor Pip, having to deal with it. I can only imagine the hangover the following morning. Ow!
Terrific story - I always think hobbits know how to enjoy life. Now I'd love to be invited to the next Brandy Hall party..........

Author Reply: Wow, thank you so much BB! I am really glad that you enjoyed it and it made you hysterical, that means a lot to me! Poor Pippin, trying to be the adult for a change, and having to deal with so much! I think he managed very well : )

The parties at Brandy Hall are awesome I think, quite excessive in every way!

This is a wonderful review and I appreciate it very much!
