Christmas at the Watchtower
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.

	This was Don’s first Christmas since he died over five years ago. Don loved this time of year it represented some of the best things in humanity that he loved. It of course meant the usual arguments between him and hank but he didn’t care. Since he now had a little money he got some simple but thoughtful gifts for people. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Clark greeted each of his friends warmly as they arrived, taking a moment to shake Dove's hand.

"It's good to see you Don. You and Hawk have been making quite a name for yourself- when your newspaper cuttings get a special section on my mother's wall, you know you've arrived" he said wryly. He offered a hand for Don to shake "In all seriousness though, Merry Christmas. I hope we'll be seeing more of you around here. I genuinely think the outlook heroes like you and Captain Marvel represent exactly what we need right now."

Clark knew he shouldn't be talking shop, but he couldn't help it. He found he had trouble switching off that part of him more and more these days.

	“Thanks,” Don said with a big grin. He then shook Superman’s hand. “And Merry Christmas.” (Reply to this)(Parent)
