Christmas Spirit

[old-saint-nick.livejournal.com]

There is some debate within mystical circles if there is indeed such a creature as the embodiment of Christmas Giving known as Santa Claus. But whether or not there is such a being, the spirit of giving itself is very real, be it incarnated in a fat man in a red suit or not.

Throughout this small blue planet of Earth, people have brought trees into their homes, decorated them with lights and ornaments, and placed them in locations of honor. Stockings have been placed on the chimneys. But most of all -- in the spirit of community and giving -- people have placed gifts under the tree.

Some are looking forward more to the receiving than the giving. But for many, it is the act of giving which warms them, which fills them with the holiday spirit.

Each person, in their own way, becomes a part of this spirit of giving. Each person, in their own way, becomes Santa Claus.

Using similar technology, there is a box for Jonathan Kent.

When opened, it plays one of three lullabies. The first is from Earth, and a gently-lit hologram of Earth appears above it.

The second is Kryptonian, with a hologram of Krypton.

The last is from Mars.
