Maybe it's Christmas story overload...
I liked this story it was good and had some very sweet moments but it just didn't have me gushing.
I'm thinking maybe I need to take a break from the Christmas stories this one is number 22 (or something close to that) so possibly I'm getting a bit of Christmas story overload or it could just be that this was one of those stories that caught my eye and my mind decided it was going to be really, really awesome and make me gush buckets of Christmas spirit, but, it just didn't. It was a nice story and fairly solid. I didn't feel tortured while I was reading it and reading it wasn't a chore or a challenge. It just wasn't the epic over the top sweetness that I was thinking it would be so maybe...my bad?
