Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree At the Christmas Party Hop (X-Factor)
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.

"I'll make a note to do so." Lisa normally opted to have her computer go into sleep mode rather than a screen-saver, but she was curious now. "The background was rather adorable, I'll give you that."

She watched him focus quietly on the ring, raising an eyebrow, but nodding to herself once he slipped it on.

The bit about his past is somewhat unexpected, but she supposes coincidences do happen.

As he puts his arms around her, she rests her hands at his waist, hooking her thumbs into his belt-loops. "Yes, well, you don't keep me on payroll to sleep with you. I do that for free." She smiles up at him, canines slipping into view.

	"So, how does it feel to be Maxim's 'Babe of the Year'? I almost called and demanded they change the title, as 'Babe' is a pig from a movie. You are nothing of the sort." he smiles. "Although, I like the phrase 'sleep with you', when we rarely do anything of the sort when we're alone together." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The smile persists. "It feels... powerful, which I like." She rolls her eyes. "Oh my hero. Don't trouble yourself. I know full well that I'm a little trashy." She tugs at those belt-loops. "I'm aware. Whose fault do you think that is? I was just some simple girl from the suburbs that you with your big plans stumbled across in a club one night after all."

	"A woman like you can't be left to live in mediocrity. I would have been a fool to pass you up, Lisa." Julian says. He smiles. "Did you have an idea, Miss Graves? Would you like to share with the class or should I guess?" (Reply to this)(Parent)
