The emotion in it is very vivid and real. Sometimes I felt like it could be revised for some "show not tell" (like the beginning tells exactly how Andrea feels about her dad more than shows it), but overall the story is well done.<br /><br />I'm also a fan of thinking of the past and loved ones gone by in Christmas stories. Its a huge theme throughout classic Christmas stories, if you can consider that there's a genre there, and this story certainly carries that charm.Thoughtful Readernoreply@blogger.com
