Isn't that always the way?

[perpetual_motion]

I sent the Yuletide story to two separate betas. They caught the same mechanical issues [good] and both had the same suggestions for a quick polish [also good]. One of them loved the way I had things set up. The other wants to see more flesh on the bones. The one who wants flesh on the bones did say that the story is good to go as is, but that the flesh could be added if I were the type to improve upon what I had.

So, back to the writing board for me.
