We'll Celebrate the Yuletide and Dream a Dream By the Fireside (Defenders)
Christmas. Yule. Saturnalia. Dies Natalis Solis Invicti. Many cultures have celebrated and still celebrate a winter festival. There have been many names for it over the millennia. No matter the name it is a time to come together and celebrate with feasts and gifts with friends and loved ones.

Each culture has a legendary figure who would deliver gifts to children during this time. In Russia and some Slavic cultures he is known as Ded Moroz, Grandfather Frost, and comes not on Christmas but on New Year’s along with his granddaughter Snegurochka, or ‘”Snow Maiden”. In the United Kingdom and other parts of Europe he is known as Father Christmas. In the Netherlands and Belgium he is known as Saint Nicholas or “Sinterklaas” and in France he is known as Père Noël. In the United States we know him as Santa Claus.

No matter the name or who is delivering gifts, it is the season of peace, joy and togetherness. It is the season for thinking about loved ones, friends and those less fortunate. It is a time to witness the goodness and generosity the human race is capable of. It is a time for peace on Earth and goodwill toward man.

	The only warning about what was to come was a very high pitched shriek. Then there was a blur of motion and Zoey launched herself at Asleif. "ASLEIF!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The Zoey-shaped projectile took Asleif by surprise, but it was not an unpleasant one. "Hello, Zoey," she said, embracing the child. "I have missed you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I have missed thee!" she said and hugged Asleif again. "I'm glad you came back and thank you for the snow. I made you a present!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You are welcome," Asleif told her. "I could not stay away in this festive time. And I have a gift for you as well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye, there ist additional presents for thee in the kitchen and beneath the tree." he tells Zoey. It still seemed weird, putting presents under a tree, or even wrapping them up, but Syd insisted. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yay! Thank you Halbjorn. How long are you staying?" she asked Asleif. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I've not yet decided, Zoey," Asleif told her. "But rest assured, my departure shall be announced this time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye. We wilt be off soon - mine sister ist joining me as mine companion this eve for a Hollywood Christmas party. I hath been assured there wilt be great spectacle. But be assured, young one, I shalt return her in time for her to watch thee open thy presents on the morn." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yay! Presents! I have presents for both of you as well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2010-12-24 05:35 am UTC (link)
	"Do you now?" Asleif asked, pleasantly. "A far greater kindness than I deserve, Zoey." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Halbjorn lets his sister handle the niceties. He doesn't tend to keep anything that isn't food or drink anyway, but he doesn't need to tell anyone that. This entire getting gifts thing - weapons aside, still feels very weird, but it seems important to Zoey. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	team_mascot 2010-12-24 11:39 am UTC (link)
	"Aye! I made them myself!" she said proudly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2010-12-25 02:05 am UTC (link)
	"Then I shall look forward to seeing them," Asleif assured Zoey. (Reply to this)(Parent)
