Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas (X-Men and X-Force)
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.

Between X-Force and designing dresses for the winter formal, Chris was having something of a gift-card holiday for most of the Institute residents, but she still came up with a few specialty items.

Corey got a box of shade-grown chocolate and a donation made in his name to sustainable agricultural efforts.

X-Force all got clothing of her own design. A new full-length leather jacket for Joey, thoroughly tested against just about any degree of heat with her father's help. "Just try not to get thrown into the sun."

Tina got a cardigan and a copy of "Brit-think / Ameri-think" signed by the author.

Rose got a steak of the month club membership from Omaha Steaks for a year, along with new combat boots, custom detailed.

Annie got a black silk choker with rhinestone accents, and a matching belt.

She sent a new pair of Jimmy Choos to Vernique, and an iron torc with runes she'd had made to Halbjorn.
