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.

	Argo smiled. "Hmm... I could do that, but that would requite letting go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If it helps you can go back to hugging me once the necklace is on." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-12-25 04:58 am UTC (link)
	Argo grinned. "Ah, you are clever, Harmony," he said. He released her just long enough to secure the necklace on her. "Beautiful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're being really protective of me lately," she mused as she moved to the bed and waited for Argo to curl around her. She truly loved how small she felt in his arms, and how safe. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-12-26 02:25 am UTC (link)
	"Have I?" Argo asked, as he curled up around her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	a_blessing 2010-12-26 04:15 am UTC (link)
	"You have. Understandable, though, given the incident with Sheena." Harmony paused for a moment. "She hasn't been around lately. Do you think she got the hint or is this the calm before the storm?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-12-26 04:31 am UTC (link)
	Argo thought of his hands on the godling's throat, ready to choke the life out of her, before she had slipped away, clearly fearful of him. "I believe we may have well seen the last of her. Or so I dare hope." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	a_blessing 2010-12-26 04:33 am UTC (link)
	"Good. I keep having these horrible dreams that she kills me. Maybe if she's gone those will stop." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-12-26 04:41 am UTC (link)
	Well... that was... bad. Argo was already beginning to reconsider his silence on the matter. "I hope so too, my love. But know I will always be here to keep you safe." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	a_blessing 2010-12-26 04:44 am UTC (link)
	"I know." She sighed a little. "Did you see the print Corey got me? I might need you to help me find a place to hang it. I don't know much about it, but I figure Google can fix that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-12-26 04:55 am UTC (link)
	"I did," Argo told her, "it is most impressive. And I will be more than happy to help. With both the hanging and the history." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	a_blessing 2010-12-26 05:07 am UTC (link)
	"That would be really helpful, Argo. I'm guessing there is some significance to it, but I'm woefully uneducated." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-12-26 05:41 am UTC (link)
	"Much significance," Argo agrees, "though what exactly it signifies, at least, depends on how deeply Bacchus is in his cups when he tells of it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	a_blessing 2010-12-27 03:39 am UTC (link)
	"Ah yes. A drinker, I do know that about him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-12-27 03:59 am UTC (link)
	"Aye. One of the less troublesome gods of Olympus to be truthful. And one of the few to find some measure of relationship success." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	a_blessing 2010-12-27 04:20 am UTC (link)
	"So is the print a hint from Corey?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-12-27 04:34 am UTC (link)
	Argo chuckled at that. "Perhaps it is at that! He is quite clever like that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	a_blessing 2010-12-27 04:41 am UTC (link)
	"Well," Harmony smiled. "I probably won't go about dressed like that, so you know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-12-27 04:56 am UTC (link)
	"A pity," Argo said. "You would wear it well. But I shall survive." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	a_blessing 2010-12-27 04:57 am UTC (link)
	"You nerd, you see me naked sometimes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-12-27 05:10 am UTC (link)
	Argo smiled. "Aye, I do. It is quite the glorious sight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	a_blessing 2010-12-28 04:24 pm UTC (link)
	"Nerd," she was grinning though and pulled the covers up over them. The rest of Christmas could wait. (END THIS THREAD) (Reply to this)(Parent)
