It's The Season of Grace Coming Out of the Void (Champions)
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.

Irina celebrated on New Year's as was the tradition in Russia, but she didn't wait to give her gifts to her teammates.

Argo got a DVD collection of the old Hercules and Sons of Hercules from the 50s and 60s. Lyta got new calf skin leather boots and a certificate to the spa. Eliza received a new leather jacket and a gift certificate to the spa. Harmony got a gift certificate to Amazon and to the spa.

Nicholas would find a bottle of the best Russian vodka and a bottle of thirty year old scotch in his room when he got back.

"Who wants honeycakes?" Corey asks coming out of the kitchen.

The lyre for Argo, the little weaponsrack he'd made Irina, the 100%-recycled material notebooks and day-planner for Lyta, the hat and gloves for Eliza, and a print of Titian's "Bacchus and Ariadne" for Harmony.

Nicholas, well, that that clumsy little sign for his business could be improved upon, and it is.

	"I do, but first you have a gift to open," Irina said as she placed a very heavy wrapped box on the table. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Why thank you, Irina!" And Corey will set the honeycake tray on a trivet and get to work opening the package. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Irina grabbed a honeycake as she watched Corey open his gift. Inside he will find the finest grain clay Irina could find in any dimension. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And Corey beams. "Aw, thanks! The good stuff!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're welcome," Irina said. "I only had to go to five dimensions to find it. These are really good honeycakes." (Reply to this)(Parent)
