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.

	"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)

	"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)

	"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)

	"Let me ask you this: If she tried, would you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	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)

	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)
