Deck The Halls With Boughs of Holly (X-Men)
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.

Rachel was somewhat defective when it came to the shopping gene, but fortunately, only somewhat. In the end, though, giftcards were always the good bet.

Corey got a donation in his name to one of those charities where they buy and raise a farm animal for an African family and a book of organic recipes.

Cait and Sylvie got gift cards to the Salem Center Mall, as well and new Christmas sweaters.

For Misha, it was likewise a gift card to the mall, and promises to help with the car when needed.

Torn Ear and David got giftcards too (and possibly a yarn ball for Torn ear).

And Starbridge... well, there were the CDs of classical music, one of those big "History of the World" type books, and a scarf (because she was running out of ideas at that point).
