Santa Baby So Hurry Down the Chimney Tonight (Alpha Flight)
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.

"Come on you, up. Wash your face at least and have a seat." She smiles as she relinquishes her hug and starts getting out dishes. Steaks, potatoes au gratin, baked brie, braised kale, and cranberry sauce (properly retaining the shape of the can).

"Mason sends his best wishes and says thank you." Madison chimes, laying out the place settings and pouring some wine (a Quebec vineyard) for each of them, hospital orders be damned.

	Jordan nods, pushing up from the bed and heading into the little attached washroom to clean up before eating. He's back a minute later. "Looks amazing. And here I was afraid I was going to miss Christmas dinner. Is Mason doing ok?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"The doctors say he should get his vision back completely. Meanwhile he's complaining that he has a perfectly legitimate reason to wear an eyepatch but Halloween isn't for most of the year." Lillian smirks.

"A month of twice weekly physical therapy for his leg, and lots of bed-rest for the general stuff." Madison adds, pulling out Lil's chair for her. "He was also going on about some regimen of sushi to brace himself for whatever Namor serves for dinner." He shrugs. "So.. yeah, if he's back to worrying about stuff like that already, I think he'll be fine." He chuckles.

	Madison cuts into his steak, chewing in silence for a few minutes. "We're very proud of you for what you did. Even a lot of leaders with years more experience wouldn't have thought to bring the fight back to them legally like you did." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He's quiet for the better part of a minute, digging into his steak and considering. "I wasn't expecting to be team leader, but the team chose me. So I'm trying to take it seriously and do things the right way." (Reply to this)(Parent)
