This has to be the cutest one shot, or story for that matter, I've read on here.
The layout made me go awww....you found the cutest picture of the cutest little boy ever! Not even exaggerating.
I really liked how you put this timeless story out there with a fresh look. I've heard the story of the drummer boy every Christmas, and this is one of the best retellings I've ever come across. I didn't see any grammatical or spelling mistakes either, which is probably due to the fact that I was so engrossed with the story I wouldn't have noticed if there were any :)
This made me want to check out more of your stuff, thanks for making me go aww:)
However, after reading this, I am. This was so simple and lovely, and it just completely made me smile. I have nothing to criticize because you've done a flawless job. Thank you for commenting on my journal; I'm so glad I read this.
A pink blush swept over David's cheeks. Never in his life had he felt so accomplished – so proud, so...happy.
My favorite bit.
