Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas (X-Men and X-Force)
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.

	Joey returns the kiss, happy to see his girl happy, as always. "Last year around this time, I didn't care much to celebrate the holidays. This year, I'm likin' it a lot more." Joey says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aw, Babe. You didn't have to." Joey smiles. "I've got you, so that's the best present I could ask for." He kisses her. "Well, how about you give me my present and then we can eat all the chocolate I bought you?" he suggests. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Didn't have ta, but I wanted ta," she says, after the kiss.

She crossed the room to her dresser and opened her unmentionables drawer. It was well known amongst the male students that her underwear was off limits on pantie raids, unless they no longer wished to be male students.

Finally, she pulled out and handed him a carefully wrapped package, which, inside, would contain a new and rather fancy watch. The back was engraved with the simple message, "For the man who makes me feel like a woman."

"You know, I used to like collectin' watches when I was a kid. Had a whole bunch of 'em, but I lost 'em after Aunt Jenna died. Didn't see a need in keepin' 'em because they reminded me of her." Joey says.

He smiles at Rose.

"I think I'm gonna get back into that hobby, Babe, startin' with this one. I love it and you. Thank you." he says, hugging her tight. Then he puts the watch on and checks it out.

"I knew there was a closet fashionista hidin' inside that wild girl of mine." Joey grins.

	He liked it. Rose is quite relieved. Shopping, except for her few trademark items, didn't exactly come easily to her. And for her first Christmas with her boyfriend? It had to be just right. "Yeah, well," Rose says after the hug, "don' go tellin' anybody now. I got a rep ta protect." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't worry. Your secret is safe with me, Wild Girl." Joey whispers. "So, you work on any New Year's Resolutions yet?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Drink more, meditate more, try not ta let stupid folks get me so angry," Rose tells him. "You?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I...am workin' on fixin' a lot of things that I think are broken, Babe. I've been watchin' a lot of people around this place and I feel like I can help out in some ways, even if they're small." Joey tells her. "I'd like to start with you and Rachel." Joey says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wild_rose 2010-12-27 03:52 am UTC (link)
	Rose gives him a curious glance. "Whatcha talkin' about, Bub?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_discord 2010-12-27 04:02 am UTC (link)
	"Now, hear me out before you shut me down, Babe. I think you and Rachel should resolve to work at bein' sisters in the New Year." Joey says. Joey braced himself for Rose's hackles raising. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ya've had a lot of crazy ideas before, Bub," Rose says, "but that's gotta take th' cake." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_discord 2010-12-27 04:20 am UTC (link)
	"Look, I know you miss bein' home and your mom and dad. You've found a way to live with both of them here, but...you got a sister, too. Who knows when you might need her?" Joey asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wild_rose 2010-12-27 04:29 am UTC (link)
	"Well, there's a phrase that comes ta mind, but I ain't gonna say it on account of I don' use that kind o' language," Rose begins. "But all right. I get yer point." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_discord 2010-12-27 04:39 am UTC (link)
	"Let me ask you this: If she tried, would you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wild_rose 2010-12-27 04:55 am UTC (link)
	Rose gave this some thought. The Eastern philosophy she studied would tell her to do the right thing here. And it was important to Joey. "Yeah, okay." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_discord 2010-12-27 05:10 am UTC (link)
	"All right." Joey smiles. "Then she's gonna try too." He kisses Rose again. "You really are the best girl a guy could ask for, you know that, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wild_rose 2010-12-27 05:36 am UTC (link)
	"Aw, I ain't so much. Yer're the best one in this relationship, Bub." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_discord 2010-12-29 01:17 am UTC (link)
	Joey chuckles. "I never thought I'd hear someone say that about me. But you're the best thing about me, Wild Girl. Now...do you want to drink the rum I snuck up here or do we wanna stand around and debate who's the best one in this relationship?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wild_rose 2010-12-29 01:30 am UTC (link)
	Rose grins. "When've you ever known me ta turn down drinkin'?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_discord 2010-12-31 01:47 am UTC (link)
	"That's my Babe." Joey grins. (Reply to this)(Parent)
