When Out On the Lawn There Arose Such a Clatter
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

The Avengers' Mansion was decorated and festive. Inside the Avengers celebrated Christmas Day. Outside there was a flash of light and six time and dimensionally displaced Avengers showed up.

	"Aye. Verily." Svalin's brown furled. "How art thou handling this?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, apparently, if it happens, we'd be the most awesome straight-same-sex-moms ever." Pause. "And I would marry you, you know, if you didn't want to get one of your Asgardian friends. I love you, Svalin -- in a completely non-romantic sense." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Aye," she agreed. Her head tilted as she thought about Vernique's words.

It was the first time someone outside her family ever said such things or made such an offer. It was that moment when she realized that for the first time in her life she had a true friend. In Asgard she knew a lot of people, but they were mostly acquaintances, most certainly not friends.

Now she fully understood why her father had sent her to the Avengers. She could be her own person outside of her siblings and could find people who were just as close as her sibling.

She smiled and then hugged Vernique. "Thank thee. Thou'rt art one of the most kind and compassionate people I hath e'er met. I art honored to know thee."

	Vernique did her best to hug back, though there was a lot of Svalin to deal with. "Thanks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thou shouldst go and rest," she said as she released Vernique. "Battle draws nigh." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good point. I'm going to get some sleep." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good night, Vernique," Svalin said. "Rest well." (Reply to this)(Parent)
