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.

"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."

"Do you now?" Asleif asked, pleasantly. "A far greater kindness than I deserve, Zoey."

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.

"Aye! I made them myself!" she said proudly.

"Then I shall look forward to seeing them," Asleif assured Zoey.
