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.

While Cassidy doesn't have money to buy Christmas presents, Uncle Scott did fill his request for several Christmas cards. He provides one to all of his friends and his new family members (except for his dad and Andrew, because Cassidy isn't sure he's ready for that).

Cassidy also creates a card for Mina and her father, but isn't certain he should give it to them...considering the role he plays in their lives.

The other members of X-Force receive cards, even Rose. Rose's is left under her door and Cassidy leaves the area before she gets wind of his scent.

He resolves to give Izzy her card when they reach Scotland, along with the cards for Moira, Danielle, Lucas and his mother and grandfather.

Before he leaves, though, Cassidy Summers finds himself at Jake's headstone, delivering the last of his Christmas cards.

"I haven't forgotten you and I never will, Jake. I hope that Christmas is better in Heaven than here on Earth and that the weather isn't too cold." Cassidy says.

"I have to go, but I'll talk to you again soon." he says, turning to leave.
