Christmas Eve Will Find Me Where the Love Light Gleams (Avengers)
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.

It was not the merriest Christmas Toni had ever had. With several of their friends still gone (especially Charlie) and her own particular bit of bad news (lab tests over the next few days, joy), she'd feel like drinking if she hadn't been underage and seen all the stupid things it made Starks do.

Even Christmas food made her wonder if it was going to be the last time she'd get to taste anything.

Anya had gotten the usual--one lecture free mistake coupon--and she'd bought for her closer friends, but it was not her happiest holiday.

	The lecture free mistake coupon usually lasted about a week before Anya had to use it. Though this year she was going to try to go two weeks before she had to use it. Anya got Toni a charm bracelet with a horseshoe charm on it because sometimes they needed all the luck they could get. Toni also got a coupon for one favor no matter what it was.
