Christmas Snippet

What does Christmas mean to you? Is it a time where you can get together with your extended Axis of Evil and make merry with your new 'Brotherhood?' Or is it a nightmarish countdown to that dreaded family visit when Time Runs Out? Sometimes I know that I feel like I'm caught in what you might consider a web of lies and dispair. "No, no...I didn't forget about you. I just got caught up with all the yule tide and the fudge and the egg nog and the cakey treats of Christmassy goodness........yes, I forgot about you." Sometimes I find myself in so many webs of lies that it would be like a spidery mess of the universe--a Spider-verse, if you will. (Was that one too much? I can never tell.)
