Oh, this is such a lovely little slice of perfection: an ache and a smile, Matthew's misunderstanding and Mary's not liking to be found out, Tom, remembering Sybil, Matthew's faith and Mary's pragmatism, how Mary would react to a holiday that was all about celebrating the birth of a little boy, and the observation that George was born in September, so a Christmas miracle is a perfect explanation. This feels so much like them!

Thank you! :)

awww that was so sweet!

I can't believe how long it has taken me to get round to reading this. I've had it open (tabbed) on my phone since you posted!
Ok, so I finally found the time and of course it was brilliant.

I really loved the fact that it was happy and sweet and Christmassy, yet there was still a little angst there. Never without drama of some sort.

Mathews thoughts at the beginning regarding Christmas and Sybil I liked and then when he realised why Mary really was sad... It's lovely to read Mary's vulnerable side and Matthew supporting her. We didn't get to see enough of this in the show.

Everything fit together perfectly and as ever it was beautifully written. Thanks for posting. I'm looking forward to reading more from your other stories soon (I hope).

This was just lovely. I just miss them, so I'm always happy to read something romantic and fluffy as this. Wonderful job!

Lovely. A belated gift for me to read after the New Year. I'm not on tumblr, so I thank you for sharing this with us in fanfic world :-)

Lovely fluff - tinged with sadness - but hope springs eternal and miracles do happen!

There can never be too much holiday fluff! The only thing wrong with this story is the "complete" word near the top (well I guess "Fin" at the end says it too). Just can't get enough of those two. Especially all the parts that would have been nice to see that we didn't get!

A fine moment between them with love and hope and tidings of comfort and joy!

Really liked it, and no one has written about it before. Wonderful

I love this so much. Your Matthew is always so surprisingly IC, and I love how carafully he watches over Mary and how he loves her completely.

Thank you :)

OH so lovely. Just the loveliest thing. What we all wanted from S3 and any CS! You're the best.
