    Author's Response:

    :-)

    Well, I'm pleased to be able to evoke an emotional response from my readers, but I honestly never expected for so MANY people to tell me that I'd made them cry while reading this story! *passes tissues to wid*

    Thanks again for the lovely review!

    Thank you for a lovely story but also for entering into areas that others might find it difficult to write.

    Author's Response: I'll admit I was trying to deal with 1) my personal frustration concerning JKR's treatment of Christmas in the canon and 2) the gross over-commercialization of "Muggle" Christmas that seems to get worse every year! I was hoping to write a story that would get back to basics and remind us of the True meaning of Christmas. I'm glad you liked the story, and many thanks for the review!

    What a lovely story and a beautiful tribute to your friend!

    I love how you wrote about the true meaning of Christmas, Jesus' birth and salvation, and had Severus come to believe.

    And for Harry to discover a true memory just made it perfect.

    Author's Response: I kept puzzling over JKR's treatment of Christmas in the books, and I finally couldn't leave it alone! Poor Harry is standing a spiritual crossroads, and I took a chance and had guidance come from a most unlikely source! I kept hoping I could pull it off believably, but the response has been overwhelmingly positive, so I can BREATHE again! :-) Thank you SO much for reviewing! (I sat there, staring at my phone: Kristeh! KRISTEH reviewed! Whoa! --yep, I'm a fan!)

    Beautiful. This is right up there with my very favourite post-battle stories, and a Christmas one as well! You set the scene perfectly, got the characters spot on for me and produced a wonderful mix of emotions.You posed an excellent question and integrated Snape very cleverly in the response. I couldn't ask for more.

    Author's Response: Thank you so much! It absolutely thrills me to hear that readers think I get things "right"! Especially characterization-- this is the first time I've tried writing Ron, Hermione, and Ginny, and I had my fingers crossed the whole time. ;-) Many thanks for taking the time to read and review!

    Lovely! :) Thank you for this Christmas gift. I could see it in my mind as if it were happening before my eyes. Well done!

    And Merry and Blessed Christmas to you!

    Author's Response: Wow! Thank you very much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the story! I like to know something about my readers, and when I clicked your bio-- whoa! I was blown away! Just goes to show that HP fans are EVERYONE! ;-D

    Thank you so much. What a lovely story. I think this story will be a part of my personal Christmas observance for years to come.
    I've never been able to understand some folks objections to HP. It seems to me to be a treasure trove for morality tales, object lessons, and examples of biblical truthes in modern living.
    And I have always seen Severus as a type of Saul/ Paul.
    This was the best Christmas present I've recieved so far.
    Thanks again.

    Author's Response: Wow! What a massive compliment! THANK YOU!!! (I'll feel a bit like Snape, waking up every Christmas to be a part of your celebration! ;-D) // I think fanatical people blindly believe what is preached to them by others who also haven't bothered to investigate HP firsthand-- my aunt is one of the fanatics, and I have NOT told her I'm writing fanfiction, since she warned me that I should not be reading the books or watching the films. I believe the objections come from the verse "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." (I don't know where that is located; I don't play scripture ping pong, if you know what I mean!) If JKR had called her characters "magicians", probably nobody would have batted an eye. But witches and wizards-- oh, boy. But I absolutely agree with your assessment of the texts! // Merry Christmas! And thanks again!

    Wonderful story. You had me in tears this Sunday morning. Yes, Jesus is there for all people, magical as well as muggle! Thank you.

    Author's Response: You're welcome! Would you believe I actually wrote Chap 1 last December, and I didn't write Chap 2 until this November? I had it all planned in detail, but I didn't finish the story for some reason. I'm really glad you liked it-- now I know my writing was time well spent! Thanks so much for the review! :-)
