I love to write. A dreamer, a creator and filled with wonder, imagination and life. Sometimes I get lost in the other worlds I've read and in some I create. It's all good, I’m in good company.

Thank you so much, honey!  I said this before at Christmas, but I'll say it again.  I love how you used the house-elves!  They often get the proverbial short-end of the stick in fanfic, but you used them so wonderfully here.  Fabulously done, and a such a wonderful holiday fic.  I'm sure I'll revisit it again next Christmas!  *hugs*

Response from beaweasley2 (Author of Playing Santa)

Now that was just sweet.  It took them so long to realize the truth about the scarf and stuff, but I loved how it made them less timid about giving their first gifts.  Lovely story, and anything with house-elves is a special treat.

You know I love this story.  I think it is a perfect christmas gift!. I love House Elves and enjoy SS/HG tales. What's funny is, it's almost like you read my mind.  Not that I had any such idea for a tale, but if you had asked me, I would have requested a tale with Hermione, house-elves and a happy ending.Thank you, dear, and a very happy new year!

Response from beaweasley2 (Author of Playing Santa)

Thank you very much. I'm flattered.  Well, you have been so nice for me, reviewing my chapter and helping with my grammar. I really appreciate it. Merry Christams to you, and Hope your New Year is wonderful and problem free! hugs~

I thought this was great! It's always fun to see someone let the house elves out to play. This was fun and seemed totally in keeping with house elf behavior (as much as we ever saw of it, anyway). Thanks so much for posting here!
