Thank-you

I LOVE Hosanna. It's definitely one of my favorite holiday stories.

I'm right there with you, Trab--makes me choke up every time I read it.

I read Hosanna the other day, and didn't know quite what to say, except that, well, it struck home with me.

Merci bien, Jamie, pour ton sentiment si gr?cieux ici. C'est bien fait, une vraie b?n?diction.

( For those who don't speak French: )

Thank you very much, Jamie, for your gracious sentiment here. It's well done, a true blessing. (There's a pun between "bien fait" and "b?nir, b?n?diction," too.)

This story was posted while I was offline for a while and I found it the other day trying to get caught up on my reading.

It's agreat story and very moving. I absolutely loved it!

Thanks for the feed-back everyone. It makes me glad to hear that you enjoyed it. I did this a while back as a Christmas piece. It was fun to write and although it doesn't have any Icarians in it, it does feature a little boy with wings... funny I always seem to find a way to put wings on my characters.

The ironic thing is that we always manage to put horns on ours. :D

...Tries to ignore double entendre, as it wouldn't fit for Hosanna.

Went back and re-read Hosanna to get myself into the holiday spirit. I was inspired to upgrade the visuals too. The 'look' now seems to suit the 'feel' of this great story.

:D

I agree, Dude. It looks festive. It even inspired me to deck The House for the season, complete with snow, candy cane and ornaments..

This Pick from the Past definitely calls for a box of Kleenex.  It really tugs at the heartstrings.

I had to hit Control-A to select all the white type in order to read it against the background -- there's no contrast with the white elements in the background.  Maybe a different font color should be considered.
