When Christmas Comes To Town (Independents)
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.

Bram had almost forgotten that it was Christmas time. He had been working on a case to teach something that the old ways aren’t practiced anymore and would never be coming back.

He had ended up stabbing it through the heart with a stack of holly seemingly killing it as far as he could tell but he went through his usually procedure to make sure it wouldn’t be coming back before leaving town.

After a flight back to England he took a look through his contact list to see which of his friends and people that he had met were still alive. Making mental notes to send monetary support to those still alive and taking a drink in honor of those departed.

When he had been younger there had been an effort to have something close to a really Christmas but that had stopped after grandpa had died and he started getting the weapons he wanted for Christmas.

He also took drinks for people that he had really cared about over the years who had died.
