These complemented each other perfectly. I really enjoyed the first one, and now I've got the wretched song about lonely goatherds going round in my head too (one point off for that ). Very believable, and some fun images, especially when it gets to ribbons & tinsel...
But, like Rebel, I think I would give "No Candle" the edge. You created a poignant mood here, and it worked beautifully. That moment when the little boy pretends to shoot the little girl - very vivid, very real, & Doyle's reaction felt spot on. I'm glad Bodie was there at the end.

Thanks for both of these :)
