I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas Only a Hippopotamus Will Do (F4)
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.

Andrea was quite surprised by Vincent's actions, but her ability to predict human behavior was sometimes more accurate than others.

She had, fortunately, not needed to keep her father from attempting to injure Vincent. His apology was sincere. A slight bow of her head signified her acceptance of it.

Valeria gave Vincent the smallest of smiles. Maybe, it was time to start patching things up, no matter how slowly.

That was... good. Franklin appreciated what Vincent had done in apologizing. That was going to make things a lot easier for all of them, especially when it came to getting beyond this whole past issue with Vincent.
