Feast of the Epiphany

As she puts the finishing touches on the Christmas decorations, Lorraine smiles proudly to herself.  Her pink gums peak out as she admired the tinsel glowing under the multicolored lights.  She sure loves tinsel.  Matthew will be so excited when he gets home!  This oughta put him right into the Christmas spirit.  Oh!  She should make some

First I have to apologize that it took me that long to read the lovely, lovely fic you wrote for me in this exchange. I was sick for a week and took a lj hiatus and then had to catch up with a lot of work.

I love what you did here, how you created a light and playful mood but still stayed true to the FNL setting and the characters. Matt's tentativeness, Julie's sweetness and Grandma Saracen playing the matchmaker. It made me all very, very giddy.

“Sorry about that. She just gets so into the Christmas spirit, you know,” he smiles the same self-deprecating grin she fell in love with. She smiles back.

I love your tiny little details. Like how wondefully you described the nature of Matt's smile there. Things like that pull you into the moment. Thank you so much! *hugs*
