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.

	"But you love me," she grinned impishly. "Come then, my love. We'll head upstairs. Your room is as you left it. Though I did take your car and equipment to Boston." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She's in storage in Boston," Anya said. "I took her up there so no one would touch her." She took his hand and led him up the stairs. "When you're ready for some insanity, you can come over for a family dinner and get to meet my little brother." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
