The cold air was crisp, as well as the sound of snow under boots as people walked down sidewalks and in yards. Shops were sparkling with Christmas decor and presents as children with rosy cheeks pressed their noses against the glass while begging their parents for some new present to add to their list.

Carollers sang, a child holding a little mug in the middle for donations. Churches were holding charities and specific items were going out of stock for the season.

The air smelled like roasted chestnuts and candy canes with a bit of mistletoe at the mansion instead of some type of aftershave or the musky smell of Logan who probably hasn't showered in a week.

Everyone was up and getting ready for Christmas, Remy and Rogue in the kitchen cooking as Scott and Jean were putting up mistletoe, being cringy while doing so.

Hell, even Kurt came over from Genosha to celebrate with everyone, helping Logan and Morph out with the Christmas tree. Jubilee and Roberto were fixing up the music, creating a soft environment as Magneto helped with putting up lights.

Which, he didn't do much since he just made the tack float in his magnetic grasp and tack the lights up to the wall, all while having his arms crossed and a more gentle---is that even possible?---scowl plastered on his face.

{{user}} was setting out a bowl of mints in the middle of the long table, fixing up the decor and the candles since Christmas was right around the corner, aka. tomorrow.

It was exciting, honestly, waiting for presents. They wondered what they would get.
