On A Cold Winters Night

[elysiumfields]

Hi Folks. As Christmas is soon approaching, i'd thought i'd re-post my Christmas themed story.



ON A COLD WINTERS NIGHT


PART ONE:


Daniel Crown had been reclusive since the sudden tragic death of his beloved husband Jeff.. Ever since the state passed a legislature allowing gay marraige,both men,who had loved each other for close to twenty five years,and had the potential to grow old together,bonded in a lavish civil partnership ceremony.
But fate dealt a cruel hand, and Jeff,now 50, was left to grow old alone.The pain was too much to bear for Daniel to move on,it had only been a year since Jeffs death from a sudden heart attack,and the loss was all too fresh.
.
Jeffs death hit Daniel hard.. He shut himself off from much of the world and shied away from the fun social life he had had with Jeff.. Places,people...brought reminders of his beloved back to him. Even though Daniel missed Jeff dearly,the reminders only caused him to sink lower into depression at the loss and emptiness....and to alcohol.
He hated life lately... Anything to seek an end to it and be with Jeff,but he was even too cowardly at that as he thought...

Now, as winter blew the first snows into the suburbs of the city where
Dan and Jeff had lived, Daniel felt this was a sign of change. He did not want to spend a second Christmas alone in this place...the first had been a heartbreak
Daniels grandfather had left him a cabin up in the pine hills away from the city where as a child and teenager Dan had spent many a summer with his gramps fishing on the lake and hiking through the woods. Sometimes Daniel had brought Jeff to this romantic retreat and its the one place that Dan felt happy with the memories of both his lover and his grandfather,who had passed shortly after he had 'come out'. 17.
And when his father neglected him for his homosexuality, his grandfather,one person who had been brought up in a time that had conservative and deeply homophobic values,suprised Daniel with his liberal compassion and sheer love.. love that he would still feel for his only grandson no matter who or what he was..

That golden time was gone. Daniel was all alone now as he packed up his VW Beetle convert and wrapped himself in his coat before glancing back one last time at the apartment before he got in, sputtering the engine into life and then drawing out of the driveway for the long drive to the cabin, in hopes of reaching it before the weather closed in.. And the weather would be notorius that high in the Pine forests.

====

17 year Jacob Quill sat in the diner overlooking the misty freeway that would take him to the next small town in search of some kind of solace and freedom from the harsh life he had with his worthless parents. A father that had often slapped him around and finally showing open disgust at his sons homosexuality.. A mother who had done little to
openly support Jacob and largely shrank into the background of her husbands dominance.

Confused,alone with himself, Jacob had enough and packed and left his sorry existence in hopes of finding someone,..anyone with kindred spirit to
share his life and love with..

Now he sat staring outside the diner window,stirring his murky cup of coffee and staring out at the passing traffic trundling along,hindered by the encroaching snows and mist rolling down off the forests. He had managed to hitch a lift with a truck driver this far but now needed to try and get another lift to go further..

...And he saw one potential lift now.. A rather smart red VW Beetle convertible rolling onto the gas station close by....



==============



PART 2



On his way up to the cabin, Daniels gas tank beeped that it was near empty.. He cursed lightly under his breath that he not remembered to fill
the car up before he left the city. Fortunately for him,he found a Gas station rather soon and pulled in to fill up enough to more than last him the journey there.

After paying up in the convenience store,grabbing some mint sweets on the way, Daniel wrapped himself in his thick coat and trudged back through the slushy snow towards his car, as the wind whipped it around his head and howled over the tops of the Douglas fir trees that lined the edge of the freeway.

Just as he got to his car,he heard someone trying to gain his attention.
"Hey mister...mister..!''
Dan looked around to see some guy wrapped tightly in a snug grey duffle coat with its wool lined hood pulled up over the guys head and a black scarf that pretty much effectively hid much of his face from the elements,and carrying a heavy looking green duffelbag.
The guy drew level with Daniel and tugged down the scarf to reveal to Dan a young and strikingly handsome face that for a breif moment made something stir inside him.

''Hey Mister,....um,..are you heading towards Evendale at all..?'' said the young man,who by Dans standards looked barely into his twenties.
Dan grumbled for a few moments as he fumbled for his keys as the youth next to him hopped lightly from one foot to the other from the [COLOR=#ff0000]cold[/COLOR].
''I dunno kid,. I might not be going directly INTO Evendale,but..''
Dan had to pass through the outer suburbs of the town to get to his cabin but was'nt too comfortable with the fact of picking up a hitchhiker,who could turn out like the urban legend and be a crazy axe-weiling nutter,but as his eyes met with the kids stunning turquiose blue eyes,he again felt that tiny spark of attraction.

''Aw please mister.. I'll give you a couple of bucks.. I just wanna get that far at least.. Please.. I been waitin' here ages for a ride but everyones been too reluctant..'' pleaded the kid.

''Ok,..but i'll take you as far as i can, thats it.'' replied Daniel as he got into the car.
''Aw geez,..thanks mister.. Thought i was gonna freeze to death waitin' here''
Daniel started the engine just as the kid got into the passenger seat,placing his bag into the back and throwing down the hood to reveal his surfer blonde short cropped hair.
''Names Jacob..'' he said enthusiastically,pulling off a glove to shake Daniels hand.
''Daniel'' he replied.

Dan set off along the freeway towards the Ridge road that would take him up over the pass towards Evandale and on to his cabin..

''So what takes you out this way..?'' Dan asked Jacob.

''Oh, just wanna get away from some shit homelife and start afresh. Parents give me hassle and now i got the chance to cut free and live my own life'' Dan said, unbuttoning the coats top buttoms and warming his bare hands on the cars heater.
''And you..You live out this way..?''

''Oh,..i got a cabin up in the hills just past Evandale i'm gonna spend Christmas in..'' said Dan,his eyes on the road.

''Sounds real romantic.. A cabin in the woods all covered in snow,with a roaring fireplace..''

''I wish it was... I just got over the loss of..'' Dan hesitated.. ''Of someone i loved''.

''Sorry buddy,..i did'nt mean to be ....''
Daniel interrupted him with a gentle wave of his hand..

''Don't worry,..its fine'' He watched out of the corner of his eye as Jacob pulled out a small leaflet of some kind out of his inside coat pocket. Jacob noticed.

It was a Fitness and Bodybuilding leaflet advertising a some protein shakes and other muscle building products..

''You into Bodybuilding..?'' Dan asked Jacob.

''I'd like to be.. I wanna try and get big..massive. My pops kept tellin' me i was a scrawny and weak little..'' he paused, to find a different word..
''lowlife, who would'nt amount to much.. So it gave me the motivation to take up weight-training and now i'm starting to see some results''

Daniel could not see much of Jacobs body under his coat but he did have quite a thick neck,..and he had the face of an Abercrombie and Fitch model..''

''You go to the gym..?'' Jacob replied,eying up the rainbow triangle pendant hanging from the rear view mirror.. Could'nt be a gay symbol could it..? he thought.

''Only now and again. I pretty much stopped going when my partner died''

''Hope you don't mind me asking.How long..?'' asked Jacob, tentatively.

''Just over a year now..'' 'Fuck it' Dan thought.. 'Nothing to live for..Just come out with it..!' ''My boyfriend died of a heart attack last September''.

Daniel swallowed hard and waited for the boys reaction But after all, he had the car, so he could dump the kid somewhere safe if he acted up''

''You arer gay.?'' said Jacob, physically sitting up straight in the seat with the guys revelation..

''Yes i am.. Any problems with that and i can just dump you off.!''

''No...no,sorry mister.. Its just that...'' Jacob squirmed to find the right words. 'So am i.. I just try and keep it private because my pops was an asshole about it.''

Daniel relaxed and even smiled a little, reassuringly.
''Then your pops just does'nt understand..I hate bigots like that''

They sat quietly for a while as the snow blew into a blizzard and whipped around the car, visibility decreasing as the road passed throug a scenery of ddeper snow,blowing in drifts across the tarmac and howling around the trees that closed in..

''So, just how old are you Jacob..?'' Dan said,casting a quick glance to his young passenger.

''17''

''You are a brave man to f...''

Dan did'nt get to finish his sentance before Jacob shouted out ''Look out''.

A heavy tree branch that could no longer take the strain of the snow compacting onto it,snapped off and fell with a crash into the road ahead.. Too little too late for Dan to fully avoid..

His car clipped the branch as it cracked the windscreen and shoved the car to the opposite side of the road. Daniel tried to regain control but the car swerved maniacally across to the right side and then back onto the opposing lane,skidded on some ice and then hit a snowbank,throwing the car into a roll down a slope till it crash landed upside down against a Redwood tree that showered it with a heavy shower of snow from its branches..........

Pt3



Jacob awoke groggily to find himself hanging upside down. For a moment he was too dazed to know what had happened. Then, as his faculties cleared, he was sharply brought back to reality.. He had been in a car accident. The car had landed on its roof and Jacob was upside down in the car and still buckled into his seatbelt,which had almost certainly had saved him from being catapulted out of the the car through the shattered and now missing windscreen. He turned to look at the driver, the guy who had given in to giving him a lift. Daniel was also still hung in his seatbelt upside down, but he seemed unconscious.. Blood trickled from a deep cut on his head closest to his door and the roof on his side had caved in considerably,squashing the door,blocking access.

Jacobs first instinct was to unlock his seatbelt to try to attend to Daniels potentially life-threatening wounds. When he managed to free himself he slumped with a thud onto his upper neck and shoulders and suddenly cried out in agony as a sharp pain ran through his right shoulder. Jacob tentatively propped himself up the right way,wincing as he felt more sharp pain through what could have been a dislocated shoulder or even a fracture to his collar bone. This was'nt the place to diagnose injuries just yet. The ice [COLOR=#ff0000]cold[/COLOR] wind was blowing the snow stingingly through the broken windows as Jacob focused himself into extracating Daniel from his seat and getting help..

He fumbled to release Daniels seatbelt and eased the older guy from the drivers seat as best as he could.
Daniel groaned and stirred slightly as it seemed evident he was drifting in and out of consciousness.
Jacob gritted his teeth,trying to use a quick burst of strength to cut out his own pain as he hauled Dan from his seat and through the smashed passenger window.
''Don't worry buddy.. Gonna get you some help. You''ll be good in no time''.


Now outside of the vehicle for the first time Jacob tried to get his bearings in his winter cloaked surroundings.
The car had come to rest on its roof down a sharp slope against a tree, having turned over several times down the steep incline. Jacob could hardly see too far,such was the aggressiveness of the wind blowing the falling snow into a near horizontal sheets of icicles that stung at Jacobs face. This weather was beginning to turn into a blizzard.

Jacob swung his hood over his face and then hauled out his bag and used it as a pillow to prop up Daniels head,and covering his face with his own scarf,trying to use the car as much as possible as shelter from the howling white-out.

With a bit more digging,Jacob had found in the trunk,Daniels packed bags and pulled out another coat and another scarf. He covered Daniel and used the scarf as best as he could to tend to the nasty cut on Daniels temple. It seemed as if Daniels head had hit the side of his drivers door as it caved in during the cars roll down the slope and Jacob could'nt tell just how bad Dans head injury was.. He needed medical help immediately.

Jacob tried his phone but there was no signal. Cursing,he nearly threw it in anger into the nearby snow but thought better of it and shoved it back into his coat pocket.
Looking up through the near blinding snow, he thought about clambering up onto the road to call for help from a passing motorist..

''Hey buddy..be right back.. You just hang in there..''

Jacob snapped off a thick bare branch from part of the tree that had fallen of in the impact of the car against it, and using it as a prop,he tried to scramble up through the deepening snow to the edge of the road.
Tired and aching from the pain in his shoulder,he reached the top and stumbled into the road.
For as much minutes as he dared spare leaving Dan, he stamped up and down the road calling for help and waiting anxiously for a car to come by.
Finally frustrated, he slid back down to the car and to Daniel and lightly tapped him on his cheek.
''Hey buddy.. You still with me..?''
Daniel groaned and moved his head slightly,and muttered. ''Jeff..?''
In Dans semi-conscious state,he could see Jeff looking down and smiling at him..

Jacob was at least this bit relieved that Dan was still holding on,but he still needed help.. He shouted at the top of his lungs for help..
And for a few minutes all he could hear was the howling of the wind and the creaking of the trees. He gritted his teeth in anger.
''Not like this.. Not fucking like this..''
He did'nt want to end up frozen to death in the wilderness,..like Jack Nicholson freezing in the Maze at the end of The Shining..!

Suddenly,the wind seemed to die down just that slightly for Jacob to hear what sounded faintly like bells jingling.
This first sign that someone,..anyone, could be out in this white-out could potentially mean survival.

Spurred on,he jumped to his feet and tried to focus his ears and eyes on the sound..
Then,..through the snowfall he could see a misty image that gradually became clearer as it drew nearer.
''Hey..over here...Help..Help.!''

A shape of a sleigh drawing through the snow greeted Jacob.. It was drawn by a single reindeer,harnessed in leather that was adorned with the bells Jacob thought he had heard.
On the back and guiding the sleigh was a figure wrapped in a thick tawny brown fur or fur-like coat..a hood lined with grey-white fur or wool drawn over his head and hiding his face, and his trousers of similar tawn colour and fur. Even his boots seemed thick and woolen..Like this fella was used to the outdoors life in harsh wilderness.

The sleigh pulled up close to the crashed car. ''Whoah there Blitzen..Good boy'' the stranger said apparently to his reindeer as if it was a pet.

Jacob for a moment was rightfully overjoyed that help had arrived.
''Hey mister, my friend needs help.. We crashed and now i think hes badly hurt.. We need to get him to a hospital fast..!''

The hooded stranger stepped off the sleigh,..itself covered in furs and a deep red woolen cover, and trudged through the snow over to where Daniel lay prone. He bent down and slipped his hand out of the thick brown gloves he wore and gently touched at Daniels wounds.

Then,turning to look up at Jacob, he slipped off the hood he was wearing to reveal the face of an old man who looked wizened with age.He had a thick white beard and wispy white eyebrows and a weathered and slightly reddened face that overall, to Jacob he seemed to look so calming and warm.
''My boy,I'm afraid that this snowstorm has downed communications and getting him any help up here might take some time. The weather will close in as soon it will be nightfall...''

''But you gotta do something..He could die for Christs sake..!'' Jacobs moment of glee faded somewhat.

''My cabin is nearby.. It has a welcoming fireplace,some needed warmth..and i have a gift at helping those in need.. Don't worry my boy.
I will take care of him..Of both of you till the morning breaks..''

Why was it for some reason that Jacob felt at ease with this guy..?

''Come boy, lets help your friend onto my sleigh..''

Jacob helped the stranger load Daniel onto the sleigh and wrapped him in the furs and the red cover.

''On Blitzen..'' And with that command the sleigh set off through the snow.

PART FOUR


The snow was falling heavily by the the time the old Outdoorsmans sleigh, carrying Daniels prone body, had reached his cabin deep in the pine forest.
''Come help me take your friend inside'' prompted Nick to Jacob who for a moment stood dithering..
Together they propped up the board Daniel lay on and carried him into the cabin..
''We'll put him on the couch by the fireplace to keep him warm as he recovers..'' said Nick as he nudged the wooden door open and nodded in the direction of a wood framed low couch cushioned with soft woolen pillows and earthen coloured woolen blankets that was placed in front a large stone set fireplace with a high mantlepiece and several thick logs already burning welcomingly in the wide fireplace.

Nick and Jacob carefully lay Daniel down on the couch and covered him with the woolen blankets..
''Do you have a phone in the cabin so we can at least try and call for some rescue.. Daniel might have some kind of bad head injury.?'' said
Jacob as he scanned the large interior of the cabin looking for any sign for a link to communications to the nearest town. He could not readily seen any.
''I'm afraid with this blizzard howling,it may not be till morning until we can seek help for your friend here.."" Nick stood up after making Daniel as comfortable as possible. He could see the worry in Jacobs handsome face.
''Don't be worried. I'm certain that he will pull through with my help. I have, lets say, a certain magic about me that may aid my tending of his wounds that i know are not as grave as you fear..''

Jacob fidgeted uncomfortably over Daniel. ''How can you be so sure..?''

''Oh don't worry..I have a had plenty of time on this earth to gather some good enough medicinal knowledge.....a few centuries at least..!'' said Nick as he headed away through an adjoining door to another room.

Jacob did'nt click to Nicks last few words. His eyes had wandered off Dan for once as he looked around the cabin,noticing boughs of evergreen holly spotted with ruby red berries,and trails of cut Ivy and Fir branches hanging along the inner eaves or hooked onto the pine log walls. The cabin itself felt welcoming with its natural light wood furnishings and plaid red and green textiles and curtains,a plush fur-like rug positioned between the caramel upholstered three-piece suite placed around a low oak trunk coffee table...In all, a traditional family cabin in the forest..

Dan stirred and groaned,drawing back Jacobs attention, just as Nick returned from the kitchen with a red cloth draped over his shoulder,carrying a tray with a clay bowl full of steaming liquid and what looked to be a clay mortar and pestle to which he set down on a small stool next to Daniel.

''Whats that..?'' queried Jacob, as Nick dampened the cloth in the warm water,the steam wafting up to Jacob and the smell reminded him of spices..

''Oh, its a remedy that will fix any injuries he might have taken to his head..'' Nick dabbed the cloth over Daniels forehead,then folded it it and lay it like a [COLOR=#ff0000]cold[/COLOR] cure remedy across his forehead,propping Dans head up on a pillow.. Dan responded with a groan in his semi-conscious state.

''You think that some kind of homeopathic medicines like this can cure him of a brain injury, just like that..?'' said Jacob finding Nicks simple home medicinal deeds a little incredulous..

'Nick just smiled ''Have faith my friend''.

Jacob watched with uncertainty as Nick pulled out a small cloth bag tied with string from his inside pocket,unfastened the string and gently poured the powdery contents into the 'pestle'..cup and then poured a little of the bowls liquid into it,grinding and stirring it up with the mortar..

For a moment,Jacob thought he could see the powder glitter like stardust but shook his head.

Nick gently lifted Daniels head and eased the cup to his lips,trying to stir him enough into a moment of consciousness for him to drink the contents.
''Come on buddy, drink up...come on,...this will make you feel better''

Daniel weakly opened his mouth and took several slow sips of the water before Nick rested his head back.

Jacob glanced out of the window hoping the snow had lessened. It had'nt one bit.. But through the blizzard,towards the shelter where Nick had placed his Reindeer,he could see another one nuzzling against Blitzen,and for a brief moment he thought he could see a faint red glow near its nose.

'Fuck,...i must be tripping.!' he thought, rubbing his eyes before looking out and now just seeing two ordinary Reindeer in the shelter.

When he turned around,Jacob nearly jumped out of his skin.. Nick was standing right next to him,smiling..
''I have given your friend a something to help him heal,not just his physical wounds but the wounds to his emotions as well..A little sleep will help him out''

He followed Jacobs gaze out the window across to the the deer shelter.
''Oh thats just Rudy,..he helps me find my way on certain foggy nights.''

Jacob suddenly remembered Nicks comments about 'centuries of experience..!' ,and a thought came across his mind.
'No, thats just rediculous..'' he said as he shook the thought out of his head.
Nick just smiled at him as he let Jacob realise just who he was..
''No..no, this is just too stupid.. You can't be...'' Jacob was placing the small things together.. A jolly,white bearded old fellow called Nick,in a sleigh drawn by a Reindeer called Blitzen,..and another called Rudy...RUDOLPH..!''

Then as the realisation dawned on just who he was speaking to, Jacob stumbled back,almost tripping over the armrest of the couch Dan now lay asleep..

''You can't be him..!'' he said,wide-eyed.

Nicks face seemed suddenly radiant and his eyes all twinkly in the light of the roaring fire. ''Who would you call me..?''

''Santa Claus..!'' said Jacob,mouth agape like a catfish.

''Santa,Father Christmas,Pere Noel,Criss Kringle...St,Nicholas..whatevers suited best..!'' said Nick..

''What are you doing way out here in the forest..?'' said Jacob,trying to find some kind of rational answer for this amazing situation.

''Christmas Eve is not for a few days. Even i'm entitled to a little R&R..!''

''But if you are such a magical being,then why can't you just make this storm stop and whisk us on your flying sleigh off to the nearest town..?''
Jacob said,sobering up to this strange reality.

''Its not as simple as that..I do'nt really control the weather..Why'd you think i'd ask a Reindeer with his 'nose so bright' to guide my sleigh on foggy nights..?''

They both glanced out of the window across to the deer shelter where Rudys nose was now shining brightly red..affirming the unbelievable situation Jacob was now in..

''I'm just as stuck here til morning as you,my young friend.''

And,reading Jacobs face he added before the boy said anything.

''..And though i can heal people of most wounds, i cannot heal them just like that..'' Nick emphasised the last word by clicking his fingers..
''Healing someone takes a lot of my energy..''

Jacob started pacing up and down. ''This is just too freaky..!''

Nicholas moved to stop Jacobs pacing by gently holding onto his arm.

''..But there is something i can do for you both..''

Jacob glanced down at Daniel then at Nicholas. ''What..?''

'' I know your heart is heavy with the lack of love and companionship. You have felt betrayed by those you thought loved you dearly. But if he finds it in his own heart to love again,you will find him a dear and committed partner..'' Nicholas glanced down at Daniel and Jacob knew..

''But we have only just met.. And this guy is dealing with the grief of losing someone he loved.. What am i to him..?''

''You can be the one to make him feel love again,to heal that sorrow.''

Feeling a little awkward, Jacob spoke what was on his mind..
''But he is not really my type of guy..''

''Oh,but once he finds his way,he will become 'your type'.. But love is not all based upon looks..Its whats in the heart.''

Jacob smiled.

''I stopped believing in you a long time ago. In my childhood i did not have
the greatest of times at Christmas..''

''I know Jacob. When you stopped believing,there was no room for me..And for my part i was foolish to neglect you.. If there is a gift i could bestow upon you i will gladly offer it..?''

''Well, theres one thing i've wanted.. What i've been training to become..''
Jacob said furtively.

Nicholas smiled knowingly..
''You are training to become a top class bodybuilder.
Bigger muscles...hmmm, not a gift i've often if ever granted, but,lets give it a try....''

Part 5


[COLOR=white][COLOR=green]Daniels eyes were closed but yet he could see bright light through his lids..With a stretch of his body and a yawn he stirred into consciousness,slowly opening his eyes,and at first unaccustomed to such bright sunlight which greeted him.. Although his hearing was the first sense that kicked in... to the sounds of birds chirupping somewhere close by.[/COLOR][/COLOR]
[COLOR=white][COLOR=green]
[/COLOR][COLOR=red]When his sight finally cleared he took in his surroundings.He was laying on green grass beneath a huge old English Oak tree,feeling a gentle warm breeze blow across his exposed chest,..which soon sharpened his senses when he realised he was lying almost naked except for a pair of sky blue boxers. As he sat up he became aware of someone else sitting just behind him.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]
[/COLOR][COLOR=green]Looking around at first he could not see the person,such was the brightness of the sun behind him,but as he let his eyes focus,when he saw just who was beside him his face went ashen white and his jaw fell agape..
[/COLOR]
[COLOR=orange]''Ah, Danny-boy, enjoy your little siesta..''
[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]There,looking back at him with a radiant smile was Jeff,shirtless and revealing a smooth slender gym-toned torso.. With the bright sun haloed directly behind his head he looked like an Angel..!

Daniels heart lept into his mouth and he felt like a dam was gonna burst full of tears.

[/COLOR][COLOR=orange]''Jeff,but but...''[/COLOR] [COLOR=green]Daniel began to stutter,reeling with mixed feelings and emotions,hoping what he was seeing was'nt just a figment of his imagination..

Jeff quietly shushed him with a finger against Daniels lips,one hand holding a glass of champagne from a picnic laid out before them.

[COLOR=orange]''Come now Daniel, my love...''[/COLOR] but Jeff could'nt finish...

[/COLOR][COLOR=red]Daniel threw his arms around Jeff and drew him into an unbearably tight hug,causing Jeff to spill the champagne.

[COLOR=orange]''Jeff, i've missed you so much it hurts..''[/COLOR] Daniel was unabashedly crying now,sobbing against Jeff bare muscled shoulder..

[COLOR=orange]''Everything will be alright now Daniel''[/COLOR] Jeff replied,placing the glass down and reciprocating the hug.

[COLOR=orange]''You died.. Is it this heaven...Did i die..?''[/COLOR] Daniel,full of emotions just sputtered out questions ramdomly and rushedly to Jeff.

[/COLOR][COLOR=green]Jeff hushed him. And they released each other from their embrace..Dans eyes never left Jeff,scanning him from his handsome face to his alluring bare torso..[/COLOR] [COLOR=orange]''Whats ahppened to you, you look so irresistably sexy and more toned than i could ever remember you..?''

[/COLOR][COLOR=green]Jeff just smiled,passed Daniel a glass of champagne and peered out from the Oak tree on the crest of a hill where they sat,taking in the wide open richly beautiful countryside around them..birds singing in the air and in the trees,butterflies fluttering across patches of flowers around them..

[/COLOR][COLOR=orange]''You remember this place Daniel. We came here the summer..'' Jeff paused,smiling back at a beaming Daniel, who took a sip of the champagne,..before continuing.
''...the summer before i died.''

[/COLOR][COLOR=red]He could see the smile fade on Daniels face.
[/COLOR][COLOR=orange]''Then are we dead... This IS heaven..Am i finally with you.?''

[/COLOR][COLOR=red]Jeff cupped Daniels face with his hand and then gently stroked the side of his face lovingly..
[/COLOR]
[COLOR=orange]''You are not dead.. I brought you here to this one place from your memory that held so much happiness and romance to you..''[/COLOR] [COLOR=red]Jeff paused again,noticing Daniels eyes begin to well up..

[/COLOR][COLOR=orange]''You were in an car accident during a harsh winters blizzard. There was a young man with you in your car but he is alright. A man of kind heart and warmth had found you both near the wreck and he took you to his cabin to tend to the wounds you have..''

[/COLOR][COLOR=red]Dans face showed signs of disappointment that his time with Jeff was not to be, and tears rolled down his cheeks.

[/COLOR][COLOR=orange]''It is imperative that you find the will to carry on and fight to survive..'[/COLOR]' [COLOR=red]Jeff said with such passion.

[/COLOR][COLOR=orange]''But i want to be with you. Fuck my life.. My life is with you..'' Dans arm reached up and swept around and drew in the surroundings. ''Here is where i want to be with you..!''

[/COLOR][COLOR=green]Jeff smiled softly and he leaned in and gave Dan a short but loving kiss.

[/COLOR][COLOR=orange]''Its not your time..''

[/COLOR][COLOR=orange]Daniel broke in. ''No,..it IS my time.. What have i got to live for,without you..?''
[/COLOR]
[COLOR=orange]''You have everything to live for.''[/COLOR] [COLOR=green]Jeff replied sternly,cupping Dans head gently with both hands,framing his saddened face..

[/COLOR][COLOR=orange]''Listen to me...Its not your time...I will ALWAYS be with you..''[/COLOR] [COLOR=green]Jeffs hand reached down and he touched Daniel on his chest,above his heart.
[/COLOR][COLOR=orange]''..in here..!''
[/COLOR]
[COLOR=green]Daniel could see the sincerity and the truth inside Jeff emerald green eyes, as Jeff continued..
[/COLOR]
[COLOR=orange]''You remember that boy in the car with you,don't you....Jacob,the hitchhiker..?''[/COLOR] [COLOR=green]Jeff said knowingly.

Dan nodded slightly in acknowledgement.

[/COLOR][COLOR=orange]''You will find happiness with him,i know.. You will find the strength to carry on and to enjoy life again.. He himself has needed to find that kindred spirit,that endearing love to share, someone to make his own life better and worthwhile after the traumas of the short life he has had so far..''

[/COLOR][COLOR=red]Jeff could see the spark of doubt in Dans sorrowful eyes.
[/COLOR]
[COLOR=orange]''Believe me,this young man is more like me than you know.. He reminds me,...of me, when i was his age...Young,virile,...up for anything...Fit and healthy with a body that yearned of dedication and commitment from gym work-outs that i was too lazy to keep up..''

[/COLOR][COLOR=red]Dans spirit was picked up by this memory of their past,with the period when they both went through the ''gym bunny'' phase but could'nt keep up with sweat and toil of keeping their bodies in absolute perfection.. not that either of them were out of shape by their mid forties..!

[/COLOR][COLOR=orange]''I remember,..but i'm 'getting on a bit now for all that muscle mary stuff.''

[/COLOR][COLOR=orange]''You're fifty,..not ninety..!''[/COLOR][COLOR=red] replied Jeff,gently swatting Dan across the top of his head..[/COLOR] [COLOR=orange]''But i can help you with that.. Just promise me you will live,..that you will move on..?''.

[/COLOR][COLOR=red]Daniels mind reeled. His heart was torn by the thought of never seeing jeff again,..of forgetting even what he looked like as time progressed.

Jeff leaned in and gave Dan another short kiss.
[/COLOR][COLOR=orange]''I will always be with you in some form or another, in that big heart of yours,...in Jacobs eyes..''

[/COLOR][COLOR=green]Dan finally smiled again..
[/COLOR][COLOR=orange]''You said you can help me with my physique..?''[/COLOR] [COLOR=green]as he pulled Jeff in for a warm embrace and a more passionate kiss,his hands roaming across Jeffs tight six pack abs and smooth hairless chest.

[/COLOR][COLOR=orange]''Oh yes,...just let your love flow..''[/COLOR] [COLOR=green]Jeff said between their increasingly erotic touching and petting.

[/COLOR][COLOR=orange]''Stealing lines from the Bellamy Brothers..?''[/COLOR] [COLOR=green]Dan replied with a slight humourous grin, before both became pre-ccupied with lust.

[/COLOR]....

[COLOR=green]Up there, on that hill, a piece of Jeff flowed into Daniel,filling his heart with love, and filling his body with new found vigour...and youth.

As they made love,the last vestiges of clothes discarded in passion..with each thrust of Jeffs cock into Daniel,Dan grew younger,more stronger..

His greying hair darkening into black like ink was being dyed into it.. The winkles of age and worry smoothening out and as the years ebbed backwards away,his face took on a beautiful male model look. Deep ice blue eyes framed with thin broad lightly arching eyebrows and a narrower slight upturned nose that gave him a cute elfin appeal. His rough lips becoming soft and moist and fuller,a potential for Dan to become a great kisser and great at something else he could wrap those luscious lips around..! With a slightest of pucker of those lush lips he could exude sexual sultriness that could make anyone who desired him,swoon weakly. A few days shadow of stubble on his chin just made him all the more sexier..

And the change did'nt end there..

[/COLOR][COLOR=red]As Jeffs angelic body pressed against his lover. As his tending hands took to every curve and course of Dans naked torso and arms, Daniel seemed to be invigorated with new found strength which then flowed increasing size into his smooth muscles.

A tease of Jeffs fingers across Daniels once slight pecs of his lean chest,brought out their curves and rounding shapes. The flick of the fingers on Dans nipples hardened them and made Daniel groan with lust,adding more of Jeffs magic touch into Dans pecs that grew out thicker and fuller,becoming lightly dusted with soft dark curly hairs around his nipples,across the mounds and down into the deepening crevasse of his sternum between the growing muscles that grew from hillocks to heaving mountains.

[/COLOR][COLOR=green]As one of Jeffs hands,now full of solid pec muscle,cupped it and tweaked at his nipples,Jeffs other hand flowed over Dans shoulders that rose into full broad slopes that framed a thicker lightly bullish neck,ever up till they nudged at his ear-lobes.

The hand cupping Dans pecs,left to wander across the lean stomach that repsonded by ripping and tensing,and then his abs showing though,tightening,hardening into a solid six pack that rose like a tray of rolls in an oven.. Lines cut through sharply and defined the sensuous v shape towards his groin,like small rivulets eroding away at a bed of rocks that themsleves hardened even more and crunched together as Dan gently twisted and moved in the throes of passion..[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]Two more hard blocks of abs arose,crunching together with the six,undulating like sand0dunes to finally reveal a shockingly cut 8-pack..
Job done on those abs just awaiting someones tongue to lap way at the sweat that funneled down the cuts between each block like tiny streams to the present that would soon await at his groin..

With both hands now,Jeff ran them up the side of Dans bigger,heavier,mightier,manlier torso,up to his arm-pits,and making way for his lats to swell,to flare out of near non-existance,into huge wide-spreading slabs that pushed him up higher off the grass and stretching and broadening his back shockingly wide,like the hood of a cobra and arising the thought of 'barn door lats' to amazing reality. And those wide wide lats tapered down in a sexy v shape into an awesomely tight and narrow waistline.

[/COLOR][COLOR=green]Out went the hands, over the shoulders,across delts filling out big round hard delts that could rugby tackle Trajans Column and knock it down to dust..[/COLOR]

[COLOR=green]Those magic hands of an angel passed down to the 'guns' that soon would be the hot top ticket to any 'gun show'.!
Once lean sizeable but small biceps suddenly jumped alive as veins pulsed thickenly across the surface of the curves like water running through a firehose.. These veins plugged themselves into Dans bicpes and triceps and started to inflate them, to swell them rapidly from grapefruits to cantaloupe melons, swollen and engorged even fuller to cannonballs streaked with vascular pulsating electrodeds of veins. Biceps that soon reached 25 inches,and tri's that hung thick and hard,...to forearms so ripped and burgeoning like he could rip up a sequoia.

[/COLOR][COLOR=red]Jeff pushed his cock into Dans tight hole as he felt up along Dans legs draped up over his shoulders.. Thighs that seemed to flex,and grow then swell with each flex until they were full of muscle and framing Jeffs head and seemed to give added weight in them as they grew tree trunk thick full of muscle..
Calves that bulged and bloated and tighly ripped..
Thick sinewy bulging leg muscles powerful enough Dan would look like he could dead-lift a bull Elephant..!

[/COLOR][COLOR=red]With each thrust of Jeffs thick cock,he could feel Dan ass respond by clenching tighter against the sodomising intrusion, clamping at the cock as it slid in and out as the growth flowed into his glutes,raising them up,filling them out and gradually endowing Dan with a sexy curvaceous bubble butt.

[/COLOR][COLOR=green]The final gift to Dan, was the growth in his genitals. In the throes of lust,Dans cock had arose into its solid,rigid erection of 7 inches,but now,that erection throbbed even harder,and with each throb,engorged even thicker and fuller,and longer.. It was growing like Daniels own Trajans column without the motifs.. The few veins streaking up along the hard shaft like old thick dry jungle roots creeping over ancient Cambodian ruins to cap a big flaring pinkish-purple glans oozing pre-ucm out of the slit like a tree oozing sap. And his balls too had grown low and heavy in their sac.. Full bloated with cum,lolling weightily like soft medicine balls between his upstretched legs..

[/COLOR]
.................................................. ...............................................


[COLOR=red]In the cabin, if Jacob was not with St.Nick in a nearby room,for once risking a chance away from Daniel laying under the woolen blankets on the couch, he would have seen the wounds gradually healing themselves. He would have seen Daniel sleeping soundly,covered in a light sheen of sweat,not from the heat of the fire..
He would have seen Daniels face looking calm and serene..
[/COLOR]
[COLOR=green]...He would have seen Daniel growing under that warm welcoming blanket,obscuring the gentle swelling of his muscles....the invigoration of youth flooding back into his face,his body,his hands..
The arousal of his cock as Daniel dreamt his life-changing dream.

[/COLOR]
[COLOR=green]....But Jacob would'nt be left out.. Not for long.. After all, Nick,...[COLOR=red]S[/COLOR]a[COLOR=white]n[/COLOR][COLOR=red]t[/COLOR]a [COLOR=white]C[/COLOR][COLOR=red]l[/COLOR]a[COLOR=white]u[/COLOR][COLOR=red]s[/COLOR] had promised him his [COLOR=red]C[/COLOR]h[COLOR=red]r[/COLOR]i[COLOR=red]s[/COLOR]t[COLOR=red]m[/COLOR]a[COLOR=red]s[/COLOR] gift..

[/COLOR][COLOR=red]....But thats for the last part, the healing of wounds,the finding of love. [/COLOR][/COLOR]

[Ogun]

I think you may have overdone the color a bit there....

[michaelv2]

Yes, very cheerful, and cool too. Thanks for getting me in the spirit! :-)

[COLOR=white]On A Cold Winters Night : A Christmas Tale . Pt 6 [/COLOR]


[COLOR=white]The Final Chapter[/COLOR]


[COLOR=white]..''So you would like to be big..?'' said St.Nicholas as Jacob leant against the cabin window sill,glancing every so often across the snowy grounds to the Reindeer with the glowing red nose in the shelter.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]Jacob turned away from the window and looked at Nicholas, giving his left bicep a gentle squeeze..[/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]''Yeah i been training to get real big so maybe i could take up pro bodybuilding or something..''[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]Nicholas took a few paces across to Jacob,placed his arm around the young lads shoulders and guided him away from the window..[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]''Come with me.. Theres something i'd like to show you..'' said Nicholas as he guided Jacob through to a nearby room. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]Jacon glanced back over his shoulder at the back of the couch where,on the other side,unbeknown to him,Dan was growing into his 'new self'.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]''But what about Daniel...Are you gonna be sure he'll be alright..?''[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]St.Nick patted Jacon on his shoulder. 'Don't worry my young friend. He'll be more than alright. Let him sleep while his injuries heal..''[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]They stepped through the doorway into the room.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]A large bedroom with a broad double bed framed with four sturdy oak posters, a large set of teak cabinets and on one side,standing alone, a full body height mirror.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]St.Nick guided Jacob across to the mirror.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]''Here you go. Look into this mirror and invisage what you want to be. Let your imagination take the form of how big you wanna be and the reflection you see before you you will form that...''[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]Jacob looked a little uncertain,as if still not believing this guy even though[/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]he had revealed himself to be an all too real character of legend,of folklore.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]St.Nicholas smiled. ''Trust me, it will work.. Just let yourself sink into the reflection before you..'' He pointed to the reflection of Jacob.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]''And i think it may make a better experience if you stripped off a few of your clothes..''[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]Jacob felt at first a bit self conscious about taking his clothes off in front of St.Nick,but as he looked at those twinkling blues,his red rosy cheeks and merry little dimples,a broad smiling mouth drawn up like a bow and surrounded by a beard as white as the new fallen snow... he felt calm and assured and safe before him..[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]So Jacob slipped off the hooded sweater,then the two t-shirts he wore underneath until his torso was bare to reveal a lean,muscular physique already toned from work outs with weights. A broad baby-smooth chest adorned with two firm curvaceous pectorals, shaprly cut 6-pack abs that tensed and rippled as Jacob twisted his torso slightly. Two strong sinewy arms with thick baseball sized solid biceps and veiny forearms..[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]''Let yourself see the man you want to be. Imagine your muscles growing,swelling with size and definition and as the reflection grows so shall you..'' said St.Nicholas out of view of the reflection the mirror cast.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]Jacobs eyes wandered down his torso. He responded as he gazed,by making his pecs flex and tightening his abs.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]He began to picture his pecs being fuller,more rounder with mass and size.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=white].....And the reflection responded.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]Jacob could see his pecs ripple and a vein rise across the skin over his left pec. He flexed them and suddenly he felt a rush of feelings,almost as if he was about to orgasm,flow through him.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]Another flex and he could see the pecs rise out like they were filling with air. With a glance down at his own pecs he could see the growth was manifesting itself to his real body at the same time, and cupped the burgeoning mounds that swelled out more in size.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]Another rush,and he could feel his cock stiffen with arousal in his jeans,pressing against the zipper and filling his crotch.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]''Oh shit,this feels so good..'' he said,peering back at his increasingly muscular physique. He flexed his pecs,feeling them bounce instead of just ripple now,as they swellen with new found size. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]'Bigger' He thought. And bigger they grew. His pectorals bulging into thick meaty slabs of muscles capped with aroused thicker,juicier nipples that poked outwards and southwards as his chest muscles surged.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]He placed his hands on his hips and grunted out aloud as he tightened his abs sharply,straining to bring out every definition and grinning broadly as he pictured those hard wash-board abs of his,crunching together like miniature tectonic plates into thicker blocks of abs,..into a solid 8 pack.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]The reflection,then his own body responded by showing Jacob the corresponding growth..[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]''Oh jeez..I'm loving this''[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]St.Nicholas stepped away from behind Jacob to allow him full reign onto sculpting his own body.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]''This is my Christmas gift to you.. One that you will share in the joys with others.''[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]''Wait until they getta load of the new me.. I'm gonna blow 'em away..!''[/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]said Jacob,really getting into the growth now, throwing his arms up behind his head to perform a lats spread.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]Every muscle in his torso seemed to come alive and seemed to grow in unison.. With each twist and flex of his muscles,they grew.Obliques forming into rippling cords of muscles. [/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]Already gifted somewhat with full hard lats,as Jacob flexed them,they filled out,bloated with muscle mass even more,. Wider,thicker,wider still..[/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]His back becoming so wide and heavy with rippling muscle,it looked as if in this and any lateral flex pose that he would soon be too wide to fit through the frame of a door.![/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]And those wider full lats led down into an incredibly tight v taper to an almost impossibly narrow waspish waist.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]His neck thickened out as his traps raised up like gently sloping hills to push against his ears..His delts rippled,swelled and tensed,becoming hard and full..[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]''Aw hell yeah.. Gotta check out these guns..''[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]Jacob was enraptured by his own growth to notice St,Nick slip out of the room,smiling. [/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]Being young and full of burgeoning testosterone,he had potential to grow huge. And Jacob was doing just that...growing HUGE.![/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]Up went the biceps,flexed into a double.. The baseballs were soon swelling,filling out,bloating with raw power and unabashed growth.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]Surpassing 20 inches.. Expanding and ripping into massive boulders,peaking higher and higher. The tri's pumping up and rippling as they traversing vascular veins fed more growth..[/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]Forearms that grew into thick sinewy pulsing muscles.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]And Jacob was growing bigger than Daniel.. And he was growing taller too.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]The mirror had stood at least 7 foot in height and it looked as if Jacob fast aprroaching that.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]And the growth that was spreading through his body was increasingly making him horny..[/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]Taking a break from flexing,he hurriedly rushed off his jeans and his boxers and stood naked before his reflection.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]Now free of its confines,Jacobs teenaged cock rose up,...and up....and up.! Waves of erotic bliss and amazing rushes of strength and adrenaline only helped to make Jacob grow.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]And nowhere was more noticable than his genitals.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]From a stiff 8 inches it surged out further from his groin,like a battering ram ready to break through anyones ''wall''.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]It whacked hard against his deep brick wall of abs,leaving an oozing trail of pre-cum over the striated curves and shaprly defined cuts, the deep red-purple glans flaring angrily and poking at the lower shelf of Jacobs now almighty pecs and finally bobbing and flopping achingly between the deep canyon-like cleft between those two huge mounds.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]Heading down the opposite way,was a ballsac,nestled in a forest of soft black pubes, expanding,filling out into fleshy grapefruit sized orbs,hanging lower and ponderously heavier between a set of thighs that had swollen and thickened so large that Jacob would have to widen his stance when he walked. Thighs that were covered in dark bristles of downy black hair.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]And that butt of his had become a solid,lightly hairy,heavily rounded and deeply sexy bubble.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]''Fuck yeah..!'' said Jacob, groaning with rising lust and covered in a sheen of sweat that glorified and brought out the cuts and definitions of his huge muscles to shocking clarity.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]One hand inevitably found its way down to graps his unbelievably fat shaft and began to stroke the behemoth that was his 15 inch cock,teasing out big globs of pre- from the coin slot sized piss slit..[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]Breathingly lustily,Jacob was filled with an urge to have sex with someone.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]Any fears he had about intimacy in the past,affected by the harsh upbringing he had endured, had rapidly faded away with the onset of his growth from a boy into a massive young man.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]He knew just who he wanted.. Ever since he had gotten into that car with Daniel,Jacob had felt a stirring, an attraction to that man. He could not explain it.. He hardly knew the man but Daniel was very attractive and Jacob somehow felt a sense of bond with him.. [/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]Maybe he could get to know Daniel,hoping and praying that he would survive his ordeal.. Maybe there was a chance that at last he could find someone to love..[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]But the age gap was the barrier.. Jacobs sexual desires were for men closer to his age.. It was the one thing Daniel did not have...until now.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]But with the testosterone raging through Jacob,his muscles flexing and throbbing, he needed to satiate his carnal instinct.[/COLOR]


[COLOR=white]..... Just then, a voice cut through his thoughts.. St.Ncik had returned to the room.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]''Theres someone here to see you Jacob.''[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]Jacobs eyes were still on his reflection, of himself,one hand slowly and sensuously masturbating his huge fat cock,the other caressing his heavy pecs and tweaking at his nipples.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]A glance past himself in the mirror, he could see a huge naked figure looming closer towards him.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]Finally turning away from the mirror, Jacob turned to see a man of huge muscularity,though not bt far as huge as himself.. A young strikingly beautiful man whose looks were strongly familiar.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]It was Daniel.. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]Somehow, he too had grown into a powerful specimen of Herculean muscular beauty,standing at least a foot short than the already 6.5ft giant that Jacob had become.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]Daniel, this beautiful pro bodybuilder sized Abercrombie & Fitch model of a guy, who now looked barely a few years older than Jacob.. Not even past 21 at least. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]''Your friend is healed of his wounds.. He has found the will to live.. The reason to live.'' said St.Nick,pulling on a thick knee length red woolen coat and then tying it witha broad black belt over his broad round belly.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]''My job is done here.. Its soon time for me to go get my Reindeers ready and my other sleigh full of gifts for all those little kiddies out there in thew world. so i will leave you two to share each other in my cabin. By the break in the weather you both will be ready to move on into the world together... ''[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]Jacob and Daniel just looked deeply at each other,feasting themselves on the sight of each others huge muscles.. Their cocks throbbing painfully. Breathing with wanton lust and love.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]They did not notice St.Nick....Santa Claus slip out of the door into the falling snow,...past Daniels VW Beetle parked up seemingly and magically unscathed outside as if the car crash had never happened.[/COLOR]


[COLOR=white]''Damn, you look so good..!'' said Jacob moving slowly towards Daniel and reaching and taking his smaller body into a tight embrace,running a hand down the side of his face..[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]''Not as raveshing as you, you hunk'' replied Daniel now pushing the bigger teenaged muscleman backwards toweards the bed until Jacob fell back onto it, bringing down Daniel on top of him.[/COLOR]


[COLOR=white]Daniel sobbed ever so slightly,which Jacob responded by gently rubbing the tears away with a thumb as he held Daniels beautiful face.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]''I never thought i'd find someone to share love again..'' Dan said,as he peered down into Jacobs....emerald green eyes.[/COLOR]


[COLOR=white]================================================== ===[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]As the two made passionate love,making even that sturdy strong oak double bed creak under the weight of their bulging muscles.. outside the blizzard had began to ease, and as night fell,the snow fell softly in flurries.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]And a Sleigh pulled by nine Reindeer,the lead Reindeers red nose glowing brightly like a beacon, flew quietly over the cabin and out into the night.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=white]And the gentle music of a carol heralded in the end of this particular Christmas Tale of new-found love and of healing of wounds both real and emotional and of passion and muscle..[/COLOR]


[COLOR=white]''The first Noel, the Angels did say,[/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]was to certain poor shephards in fields as they lay.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]In fields where they,keeping their sheep.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=white]ON A COLD WINTERS NIGHT that was so deep....''[/COLOR]



[COLOR=white]THE END[/COLOR]

[michaelv2]

That was a beautiful story. Thanks for telling us, once again, the true meaning of Christmas.
