	This story was so beautiful. Once again you captured the spirit of Christmas: sharing - with the way the Organas opened their home to the people and the way Leia opened her heart to Winter. The most moving part of the story for me was Leia and Winter's tete-a-tete: the way the princess and the orphan have so much in common. Leia knowing about her background certainly adds credence to the down-to-earth nature we see in the OT. Kudos to you for capturing that. And, the underlying theme of 'Emperor's Day' was perfect: Bail's relunctant speech, Threepio's ill-timed compliment... Thank you for sharing this!. -----signature----- http://io9.com/5111680/avatar-casting-makes-fans-see-white Upset about the casting for the Last Airbender movies?

	Reihla Wonderful story! Good luck in the competition Oh sheesh, I had nearly even forgotten that I wrote this and Sandstorm as entries for a competition. Just receiving the amazing outpouring of wonderful remarks from everyone is nearly high praise enough I completely sympathize with Bail (and with Leia) when he makes his “thanks to the Emperor” speech. I can just see him doing and saying many such things to protect his family during the founding of the new empire! Leia’s anger in particular seems completely in character for her – as was her generosity with her possessions. Considering that Dodonna (sp?) commented about the loss of Leia’s father in ANH, I figured that it was probably safe to assume that he’d be a major leader in the forming of the Rebel Alliance. I’m not spoiled, so I have no idea what GL is planning. I did however, firmly believe that considering Bail had sided w/ Padme in AOTC, that he would be most likely less than thrilled to have to bow to the Emperor for any reason. Hm. If you aren’t writing more saga stuff I guess I’ll just have to meander over to the post-saga board Hee hee- well never say never… but it will probably be a while. But who knows, I plan on keeping my eyes open for more interesting challenges to participate in. I like them as a nice diversion from my normal writing. BTW, link for my new story’s in my siggy Arriss Little Leia playing hide and seek and just being able to be a kid. sigh* And her own unselfishness to give to others when she has so much.* Leia’s definitely a good egg and didn’t fall far from either of her parent’s trees. The generous nature of Bail Organa – his hospitality is endless! Although his having to suffer through such a fake speech – brrr, <expletive> Palpatine. I know, poor Bail at least he got to do something that selfish Palpatine would probably disapprove of as an act of rebellion. This really was a very enjoyable read, dear. You put a lot of thought and care into this story, but then when don’t you? Hee hee- well I certainly try Leia_Naberrie This story was so beautiful. Once again you captured the spirit of Christmas: sharing - with the way the Organas opened their home to Christmas: sharing - with the way the Organas opened their home to the people and the way Leia opened her heart to Winter. Yup, sharing with those less fortunate than yourself was what I had intended to be the theme for this story. I’m glad that in the end it translated so well. The most moving part of the story for me was Leia and Winter's tete-a-tete: the way the princess and the orphan have so much in common. Leia knowing about her background certainly adds credence to the down-to-earth nature we see in the OT. Kudos to you for capturing that. I always remembered that when I was really young and I was thrown together with new kids to play with, I’d usually latch onto one. Kids become good friends quickly. Considering Leia was so sheltered in the palace, I took the assumption that she’d just open her heart to anyone who would willingly listen to her. And, the underlying theme of 'Emperor's Day' was perfect: Bail's relunctant speech, Threepio's ill-timed compliment... Thank you for sharing this!. When aren’t Threepio’s compliment’s ill-timed? Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for reading! -----signature----- My STAR WARS Fan Site! http://www.freewebs.com/padmeleiajaina/ Visit me on Livejournal! http://rkc-erika.livejournal.com/

	I am so glad you wrote a companion peace to Sandstorm Celebration! I loved the line immediately after the stock opening. Brilliant! Also, really liked the Handmaiden tie-in. I find it next to impossible to believe that these women, hand-picked to be at Padme's side morning noon and night for years at a time, would have just abandoned her or her family when she stepped off the Galactic political stage. That's why I kinda wish Beru had been revealed to be one of Padme's handmaidens instead of a native Tatooinian girl. Oh well. Thanks for correcting that GL oversight. I am very appreciative of the portrayal of Bail Organa as a true Prince of his people: taking care of them even at great personal cost (and I'm not talking so much about the food and the opening of the Palace as I am the swallowing of his pride to reassure the Emperor of his "loyalty"). Leia is precocious, but still very much just a kid, and the developement of her friendship with Winter was very well handled. Your craft is second to none PLJ, and you have every right to be proud of your efforts here. Solid solid stuff. Well done, and thanks very very much for sharing!

	Clicked on "Memories of My Beloved Alderaan" and saw the link for this story. Glad I did. This was so heartwarming. What a wonderful glimpse into Leia's childhood. I loved the friendship between Leia and Winter. As an adult, Leia gave tirelessly of herself for the Rebellion, and you did a wonderful job showing the beginnings of Leia's generosity as a child. Now, off to read "Memories." -----signature----- A long time ago in a house far away, there was a mother who was strong in the ways of the Force.
