Yes, definitely put these all these together in a book so it will be easier to find.

I notice a few small errors that need fixing. You might want to go over it again.

Great story. 8-)

    Yeah, I haven't looked at this for a while. It's two years old and I may rewrite it. All the best G

    There's another you may like called 'Times they are a-changing' which features a conversation between Santa & Krampus.

Sorry, it's not going to happen. People are too attached to their electrical gadgets and no hand made gift would ever replace them.

    You'd be surprised. I have worked with children and young people for over twenty years and in my experience your statement is simply not true!

    Many thanks for the review. Much appreciated.

Very well done. I'm glad the magic came back. The story was delightful. It held the readers attention and ie for one wanted the plan details. The plan was thought out and how to execute it was intriguing. I could picture the characters as dull in color, changing when they thought and spoke about the plan. Thank you for sharing.

I loved this chapter. I read fantasy so this was great for me. I see also that Christmas Rescue was a winner so you don't really need me talking about how great this story is. Keep writing. Regards MaBaker

This is a very good story you have penned for Christmas. I really liked the Leprechaun in this story. It was all written so well. Great job. I loved he saw the rainbow. Hugs, Teri

A wonderfully, magical read. The way the
magic returned was so well put together.
I want to read this story to my young grandchildren.
To remind them that magic is still a part of
Christmas. -Bill

A great magical Christmas story that should (more appropriately) will delight those of many ages. Comical and magical. I'm surprised I missed this last year.

Nicely done... John

1.)He used to take such pride in his appearance, but what was the point now(?)

2.) Ye haven't haff let yurself go, big man(,)" (e)xclaimed the Leprechaun
--> is 'haven't haff' what you mean to say? Confusing.

3.) It's starting to affect us all, to be sure(,)" (r)eplied the Leprechaun,

4.) Lad, get over here or I'll take ma shillelagh to ya again(,)" (r)eplied the Leprechaun,
--> seems to be a recurring issue. Remember that the quote AND the speech tag are part of the SAME sentence, and punctuate accordingly. I won't mark anymore of these I may see.

A fun write! I enjoyed reading about Santa and his helpers bringing the magic back!

Let me know if you revise and I will happily re-rate! Thanks!
