Thank you, thank you, thank you, Laura, Chriscy, Susan, Karla, Erica, Anna, Ann and Judy! I'm glad you enjoyed this story!
I have to agree with what most of you said... I prefer color lights too
Fun and homey!! And I'm glad the message of the story as well as the presence of Mr. Wells was well-received and not dubbed "completely and totally corny", which I feared!!
As for Cat being in the story, I originally was going to have Jimmy or Perry as Santa, or either Lois or Clark themselves, but decided to go randomly with Cat, to keep it clear this is the future, and obviously at some point something happened in which Cat returned and (seemingly) softened. It's unclear... I just thought it'd be fun to not know what happened and why - a reminder that this is the future and not all is obvious.
Anyway, again, thanks ALL of you!!!!!!!
