That was so cute. We don't actually have mince pies in America (that I know of), but I really enjoyed the story still and it didn't feel overly Christmassy at all and that was so perfect. I like that Bob's grandma helped him with the cat sounds. That was awesome. The Gerard and Frank of this story were so great. There were mostly funny parts, but then Gerard started yelling at Frank about how he thought that Frank realized that he's a loser and doesn't want to be his friend anymore and that was just so heartbreaking and poor Gerard! Thanks for posting this story. It was so good to read and I love your works.
