Reviews for 'Twas the Month Before Christmas
This was both silly and a bit heartwarming. I can't help but think it needs some fan art, you know?
LOL. Severus as the skinniest Santa ever. Love the plot.

Very delightful. Good plot and characterisation. Enjoyed a lot.
I rather enjoyed that! I was pleased to see the lengths Severus would go to in his quest to make Ginny smile.This was lovely.
i dont think i've ever read a GW/SS story. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it. Love the last lines about santa's lap. better hope he doesnt have a candy cane in his pockjet!
Aww this is a pairing I rarely see and together with (even if early) Christmas cheer it's irresistable.

You know it's funny, some SS/HG folks are fine with that pairing but squicked by a Ginny/Severus fic because "she's too young." She's only a year younger than Hermione! :D I rather like the thought of that pairing, Ginny's one tough cookie. Thanks! :)
Even though this seems to end with some Snape/Ginny, (and I'm afraid to even ask what THAT ship is called!) I enjoyed it. Snape going to the lengths he did to make Ginny laugh was touching. I especially liked that you were able to give Snape a heart without turning him into Fluffy!Snape. That's not easy! Well done!

Hmmmm...what would you call that pairing? GingerSnap? *snicker* I know it's an odd pairing, but it was great fun to write. I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the kind review!
Very amusing--adored the lingerie scene. *g*

Thanks! That fic is goofy as hell, but it was quite fun to write. :)
I remember this one - loved it then, loved it now. Oooooone small nitpick... Father Christmas, not Santa Claus!
Response from PlaidPooka (Author of 'Twas the Month Before Christmas)
Lol, now I'm confused! I, of course, don't know what an actual Brit would say, but the information I looked up on English Christmas traditions did not keep me from using the more European "Satnta Clause". My research suggested that after WWII, the English Father Christmas became less like the rather reserved father figure and more the red suited, jolly American version. The research said that folks over the age of 50 would be more likely to use "Father Christmas" but younger folks used both terms. In any event, I really don't want to change the wording of Severus' hex, so I'm afraid I'll leave it as is. Thanks for the review! :)
What a great, fun bit of "silliness"! I loved it!! Snape & Ginny are not my preferred ship, but when it's done well it's always a delightful ride - and this, of course, was done EXTREMELY well. Especially if you had that much fun writing it. 
Thanks for sharing!!
lovely fic- love it!!
Making a woman laugh has always been a good way to said womans' heart. I can't just stop from gigling imagining Snape in Santa's clothes.
Good story... Definitely keeps up the expectations I have for a PlaidPooka story. I liked the characterizations of Severus and Ginny. Nicely done.

Thank you so much! I had a great time writing this one. It was one of my favorite challenges. :)
I need insulin, stat! That was disgustingly sweet. I can barely stand SSHG, don't start anyrthing worse, please!
Response from PlaidPooka (Author of 'Twas the Month Before Christmas)
Lol! That was a Potion Master's Muse challenge, and I admit that I had way too much fun writing it. :D But I don't really see SS/GW as any "worse" than SS/HG.
Well done.
I don't usually go with this pairing but I really liked this fic. Awesome work.Tamara
Nice. It made me chuckle which I presume was the point of the story.
Response from PlaidPooka (Author of 'Twas the Month Before Christmas)
Oh, yes! Chuckling was the only point of the story! Glad it succeeded! :)
