I'll Duck and Cover With My Yuletide Lover Underneath the Mistletoe (Wild Pack)
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.

"All right, Dad's about to pick me up, but your presents are under the tree, and we're still on for Paris Theodore Day, with Mom, right?"

Under the tree were T-shirts for Kelly and Melissa saying "Judge if you want; we are all going to die. I intend to deserve it." Nicolai got one of those multilayer chess sets, and New Guy got a paperback copy of David L. Robbins's 'War of the Rats'."

Kelly tosses Bea's present at her - and her power warns her just in time how to catch it to avoid an explosion (of tinsel and glitter, admittedly)

Inside the package first is a t-shirt, black, with silver text reading 'Go ahead and keep talking, I'm reloading.' Wrapped in the shirt is a Glock 22 RTF2 pistol, modified to take non-metal rounds so the entire thing, other than the firing pin, would pass a metal detector, and a new gun cleaning kit.

"Of course we're on."

	Bea quickly catches it just as the realization hits, and opens it. She snickers at the shirt, the -- "Awwww, Kelly! You shouldn't have!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course I should have, you needed a new concealable pistol. You're on your own for hiding the firing pin though - but you can tell me where you're hiding it if you really want to." (Reply to this)(Parent)

	"You owe me a game when you get back," Nicolai said with a smile after he opened his present. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes, sir!" Bea smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)
