Holly on the Old Oak - Final Thoughts

Holly on the Old Oak

Final Thoughts






A boy named Jake gives a lone stag a place to rest for the night, and the next morning, he found a surprise surrounded by hoofprints in the snow.

A King and a Page were charitable to the poor, setting an example for us all.

The antics of three deer who tilted their heads at a Christmas ornament on a tree, who discovered the meaning of the season.

A kind deer listens to a lonely ghost fawn, and helps him find his long lost mother.

A disfigured stag, who nearly gave up hope, was invited to dance with others and shown true friendship.

A lost deer, believed to be one of Santa’s reindeer, was treated kindly and became the talk of an entire town.

The dance of the deer, a celebration that all are welcome to attend.

A doe and her mate, seeking shelter from the rain, give birth to a miracle fawn.

The strange party of the most evil and vile monsters, who in their own way enjoy the season.

A storyteller retells a Christmas classic for a group of fawns, and later discovers that the story is really true.

A curious doe who wants to learn how to fly, and soon becomes the center of an extraordinary event.

And the tale of Walter Scrooge, who was shown the meaning of generosity and changes his view on the world.



These stories express several important virtues – kindness, generosity, and merriment. I hope you have enjoyed reading them as much as I loved writing them.

Happy holidays, everyone, and…



Give the gift of deer this Christmas! Eye


Special thanks to everyone who helped me with this project, including everyone who gave ideas for stories, offered their characters, suggested characters to be included, and supported the series with comments. I could have never done this without you! I'd name names but there are too many to list!

Thanks for all the support,

Thanks for all the support, I'm glad this worked out so well.

I mentioned this in my updates but I'll post it here too, and it's a little upsetting to me, but this year it just doesn't feel like the holiday season. Maybe losing Dad has given this time of year that effect. I really hate to ask but does anyone have any suggestions on getting me into the holiday spirit? What do you guys do in preparation for Christmas?

I feel so stupid that I've written these stories for you guys, but now I think I've gotten burnt out with the season. Or maybe I'm still worried that my family will not like the gifts I've gotten them (I gave everyone one of Trigger_Mortis' wildlife prints in a frame), that it's not a video game or a gift card to somewhere. Maybe that's just me overreacting, but I just don't have the money to afford anything this year since I quit my job.

But anyway, anything to help me get into the spirit is greatly appreciated. Bigcrow recommended driving and looking at the lights on houses, but we do that closer to Christmas Eve.
