'Twas the Night Before Christmas...

Dec 24, 2007 10:32

Most people scoff at the idea of a real Santa Claus. There simply is no way that an immortal elderly-appearing fat-man could travel the world in one night, giving gifts to good boys and girls all over the planet in a flying sleigh pulled by reindeer... and that's even before one considers the difficulties in spying on all the children of the world ( Read more... )

Guy is easy to buy for. He'll find some new videogames wrapped up in a bow waiting for him, alongside a six-pack of his favorite import beer.

Arisia's gift won't be under the tree.

Zinda's getting getting two presents. The first is in a small box waiting under the tree. In the box is an arrangement for her to go on another date with Plaz. The restaurant is fancy and the whole night is paid for one way or another.

The second is a little more personal. "It looks like we had the same thought."

The blonde bursts into her trademark bubbly laughter. "Well, way I see it, we got two options: We can both enjoy the hell outta this, or one of us has to get changed,"

"Oh, you can't get changed. It's like I got my very own Christmas Traci." There is a small sparkle in Arisia's eye that has been missing for awhile, maybe even unnoticed.

Fauna is not on duty this Christmas.

Aurora Andersen is , however. She's at a "Meals, Not Jails" improvised soup kitchen in the middle of the shopping district, doling out hot stew and political literature with a warm smile to anyone who comes by.

Kathy always gives extravagant gifts. Roxie has a brand new computer built according to her exact specifications. Sonia gets a new motorcycle delivered to her door. Julie gets a new set of leather luggage... filled to the brim with clothes. Hawkgirl gets a date with Anton, her personal designer.

Bruce receives an envelope with a card.

"What do you get for the man who has everything? Perhaps you can drop this off for me."

Inside is a cashier's check in the amount of $100,000, written to Leslie Thompkin's clinic, with the "From" line reading "Bruce Wayne."

Those in Titans East get a plain envelope with their names lettered neatly on the front in Jesse's handwriting. This letter is included within, along with a note from http://www.heifer.org detailing the Gift Ark donated in their names (either by their superhero name or given name, depending on the person):

Dear Titans,
I wanted to let you all know exactly how much I appreciate the opportunity to be a part of what you are doing here. You give so much of your time and energy to the people of Philadelphia; let me help extend that to international levels.

I look forward to what we might be able to do as a team this coming year, and beyond that. Merry Christmas!

Love, Jesse
