When Christmas Comes To Town (Independents)
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.

Ben saved up his lunch money over the past couple of months to afford Christmas presents for his parents. He gets Mom and Dad gift certificate to the cheesecake factory.

For May, however, he can't really think of anything to get her that she probably doesn't have herself. He's spent a lot of time thinking about it until he realizes what May has needed all along.

The website has taken shape over the last two months, with thousands of hits every day and viewership working its way toward one million.

He sends May a text message.

Hey, found something interesting on the comp. Check it out.

www.spidergirlrules.net.

When May goes to the website, she finds a professionally done website with several recent pictures of Spider-Girl beating down crooks, swinging about the city and generally being helpful. The timing of some of the pictures is very suspicious, but all of them are excellent quality and show Spider-Girl only in the best light.

The comments are from hundreds of people around New York who are amazed that "a big-time hero" like Spider-Girl noticed them and thanking her for saving them and keeping the city safe. There are several marriage proposals and request to just take her out to dinner or to a movie.

Many of them tell Spider-Girl to keep up the good fight and keep helping people as best she can and that she's not a menace.

Ben hopes she likes it.

	It's official. May had the best younger brother in the history of younger brothers. When she came home for Christmas, Ben would get pulled aside to get a very special present. The first two seasons of True Blood on DVD. Which their mother was to NEVER know about. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
