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.

	"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)

	Argo chuckled at that. "Perhaps it is at that! He is quite clever like that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well," Harmony smiled. "I probably won't go about dressed like that, so you know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A pity," Argo said. "You would wear it well. But I shall survive." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"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)
