Ho Ho Ho and A Bottle of Rum (Excalibur)
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.

Missing Christmas Day with her team had not been in her plans, but a chance to spend the holidays with Andy was too good to pass up. Rob was skiing with friends for the holidays so he wouldn't miss her.

She made sure to leave gifts for them. Quinn and Casey received cases of beer and stout as well as a few business cards from estate agents if they were serious about investing in their own pub.

Leech and Arthur were given gift vouchers to the bookstore she worked at, as well as her employee discount for their trip. She'd made sure the owner would allow it and got his agreement in writing, reminding him ruthlessly of all the extra shifts she'd worked so he wouldn't have to take on new staff before the holidays.

Tamara received a gift voucher to Beyond Retro, a clothing store Jenny thought she might like to try out.

Dmitri was the hard one as Jenny hadn't really talked to him much. She finally settled on a gift voucher to the mens store where Rob bought his clothes.
