X-Men
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy.

Christmas Day is a Christian holiday, it's true, but it also has become increasingly secular. It is an opportunity for love, charity, and goodwill.

There is some debate within mystical circles if there is indeed such a creature as the embodiment of Christmas Giving known as Santa Claus. But whether or not there is such a being, the spirit of giving itself is very real, be it incarnated in a fat man in a red suit or not.

Throughout this small blue planet of Earth, people have brought trees into their homes, decorated them with lights and ornaments, and placed them in locations of honor. Stockings have been placed on the chimneys. And gifts have been placed under the tree.

Some are looking forward more to the receiving than the giving. But for many, it is the act of giving which warms them, which fills them with the holiday spirit.

Each person, in their own way, becomes a part of this spirit of giving. Each person, in their own way, becomes Santa Claus.

1407 Graymalkin Lane is well decorated, and snow covers the grounds. A massive tree stands in the mansion's living room, and ribbons or pine line stairwells or the walls. As for the X-Men themselves...

"I have no clue what you just said," she grinned. "Speaking in that strange language."

He grinned. "For Russians, the holidays last about until mid-January. New Year's Day is our big day and Christmas is on the 7th."

She smiled. "We just finished Saturnalia. We have Compitalia next, then Agonalia, Carmentalia and then the Ides all by the 15th." The Romans sure did like to party.

"Yeah, we Russians are all drama and despair. On the other hand, we Canadians just relax and have a beer." He winked.

Cait chuckled. "Well whatever you decide on being, thank you for the gift. It was very sweet of you." Another kiss to his cheek. "Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas, honey. It was my pleasure." He smiled. Cait really was a doll.

"Oh, good! Caught you before we both headed out!"
Sylvie makes her way across the furniture and hands Cait a brown paper package containing a blue sash made of Italian satin.

Misha gets one, too, containing a nice warm pair of gloves.

"Thank you!" Misha kissed Sylvie's cheek and handed her a box of truffles and an envelope containing movie tickets and the invitation for dinner whenever she had time.

"You better. It'll be the only way we can catch up properly. You pick the place and I'll get us reservations."

"Thank you, Sylvie," Cait said and gave her a hug. "It's beautiful and a perfect shade of blue."

"Sala, on the Bowery. Soon as we're both free. They have great finger food." Slight wiggling of the digits in question.

Hugs! "I saw that in Florence and just thought 'That needs to be on Cait!'"
