For Disclaimers etc, see first chapter.
This one's Bishops POV.
He's never been quite sure about Christmas.
The scene looks happy enough, in it's own way, a log fire roaring with tendrils of smoke escaping into the room. Logan is helping a laughing Ororo decorate the tree with tiny bells and it all looks perfect right down to the brightly wrapped gifts under the tree.
But there's a hollowness about it, especially this year.
He watches Kurt drop something to the floor and crush it deliberately under his heel, hears the crunch and knows that Nightcrawler is wishing it was Wolverines head.
So much for Good will to all men.
