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...

	"At least it would be worth it." He winked at her. "So, good idea? We get Joe, couple of the others, take off for the Bahamas or something for a long weekend of sun, booze and dancing on the beach." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"An excellent idea," she said, returning the wink, "Though we might want to come up with a cover story. Training mission in the mountains or something. I don't think some of the staff would approve of us corrupting our teammates with our bad behavior." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then we're training on salt water maneuvers, with a tequila chaser." He scooped out more cookie dough. "Besides, we're considered very responsible people." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2009-12-26 02:53 am UTC (link)
	"The best kind of training there is," she said, scooping out more cookie dough of her own. "And we'll bring along plenty of Advil." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"For you delicate types. Me and Joe don't need it." As delicious as it was, he needed milk. He got the carton out and poured some. "It's a date. Dig out your bikini, Feathers, so I can practice drooling. We'll see who else is game." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2009-12-26 03:08 am UTC (link)
	"Hey. I can hold my liquor just fine, thank you very much." She said, grabbing a glass of her own and pouring some milk for herself. "I'll do some digging then, just for you. I'm quite fond of it, myself." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-12-26 03:13 am UTC (link)
	"I would've shared my milk," he protested at her grabby-ness. "Just not the pudding cups." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2009-12-26 03:15 am UTC (link)
	"Pudding cups are a milk product," she replied with a smirk, "Can never be too sure." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-12-26 03:26 am UTC (link)
	"You are pudding cup obsessed! When you divorce me, you can ask the judge for them in the settlement." He finished his milk and kissed her cheek. "The cookies are great." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2009-12-26 03:30 am UTC (link)
	"Why would I want to divorce you? Other than not sharing the pudding cups, you are a wonderful husband." She kissed his cheek in return. "Thanks...and I think the fudge is almost done." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-12-26 03:34 am UTC (link)
	"Oh baby, talk dirty to me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2009-12-26 03:36 am UTC (link)
	"You like it when I talk dirty to you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-12-26 03:42 am UTC (link)
	"The dirtier, the better." He grinned. "If you the fudge has walnuts in it, I'll die of pleasure overload." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2009-12-26 03:45 am UTC (link)
	"Some are plain, some have walnuts, and some a little caramel filling." She poked his chest playfully, "That dirty enough for you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-12-26 03:48 am UTC (link)
	Misha closed his eyes and breathed in happily. Homemade candy was always a treat. "Your mouth should be rated X." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2009-12-26 03:52 am UTC (link)
	The timer dinged and Lyta pulled the fudge out of the oven. "Don't act like it doesn't turn you on," she said, waving the tray in his face. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-12-26 03:53 am UTC (link)
	"I wouldn't think of it! I might not get my hands on your goodies if I did." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2009-12-26 03:58 am UTC (link)
	She placed the tray on the counter, picking up a piece (with walnuts) and holding it in front of his mouth. "You certainly know all the right ways to get them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-12-26 04:12 am UTC (link)
	"Are you trying to tempt me, Ms. Braddock-Worthington?" he asked, eyes on the treat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2009-12-26 04:14 am UTC (link)
	"Possibly," she said, waving it in front of him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-12-26 04:17 am UTC (link)
	"Can't tempt the willing." He grabbed her hand and ate the treat from her fingers. Then he kissed her lightly. "Anything else I can do for you in here, honey?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2009-12-26 04:23 am UTC (link)
	"No, you can't." She smirked before they kissed again. "You've provided me with both help and entertainment. I'm good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-12-26 04:29 am UTC (link)
	"Then my job here is done. I'll go see what else I can do to spread love and joy through mistletoe and chocolate. Come out soon. We need you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2009-12-26 04:32 am UTC (link)
	"I will. Promise." And in the spirit of the holidays (and mistletoe), he gets thoroughly kissed. "Merry Christmas, Misha." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-12-26 04:35 am UTC (link)
	Fudge flavored kisses were delicious, and so was she. His slow smile said it as he moved to the door. There he paused to look back. "Blue bikini, eh? Looking forward to it." (Reply to this)(Parent)
