13 days till' X-MAS:
The mistletoe hung in the hallway by the kitchen. It was common to find Tony and Pepper pressed up against the wall kissing in that hallway, each with a drink in hand. Or Thor scooping Jane up bridal style to give her a quick peck on the forehead. Or even Clint and Natasha sneaking each other quick and discrete kisses when they think no ones looking. Steve always wondered if he'd ever have someone to kiss under the mistletoe. But he changed his mind about that right after Coulson caught him thinking under the mistletoe and gave him a smooch on the cheek.

It took Thor all day to learn how to make paper snow flakes, even with Steve helping him. Thor just couldn't quite cut the paper the right way or fold it without crumpling it. However, after countless hours and hundreds of failed snowflakes, Thor finally did it. The snowflake he made was beatiful and dainty with little triangles covering the interior. Thor was so proud that he put it on the top of the Christmas tree so that all could see it.

Tony had finally finished his Christmas shopping and it was now time to start wrapping. Usaully Tony just hired someone to do it, but this year he was determined to do it himself. Unfortunetly, Tony somehow ended up with a ribbon tied around his feet and hands and his head and face coverd in red wrapping paper and tape. He also had a pair if scissors stuck in his shirt and even more ribbons tieing him to his desk and more tape in his mouth. It was a good thing that Dummy was there to rescue him and wrap his presents for him. It's the thought that counts, Tony.

The ornaments on the avengers Christmas tree consisted of entirely avengers themed ornaments. There were plenty of little Hulks and tiny models of Thor's hammer and Steve's shield hanging on the branches. There were even little Natasha's and tiny archers. But, there were mainly ironman ornaments. They ranged from a miniature wooden ironman helmets, to a 3D plastic model of the suit that glowed in the dark. Pepper especially got a kick out of the ornament that looked like an arc reactor and played AC-DC music every two hours.

In the winter the avengers liked to wear their slippers around the tower. Tony's slippers had hover powers and Pepper's were pink, fluffy, and were ornamented with bunny ears. Bruce and Steve had matching slippers which were suede and furry on the inside. Clint's slippers looked like a big soft pair of purple sneakers and Natasha's were red with little bows on the toes. Thor's slippers were MARVEL slippers which featured the X-MEN, Spider-man, and of course, the a Avengers.
8 days till X-MAS
It was not uncommon for the Avengers to receive fan letters throughout the year, but at Christmas time, the letters always seemed to just flood in. This year, the Avengers got a lot of letters from kids around the city. They also received many from the local orphanage. The Avengers enjoyed looking at the pictures of snowmen and Christmas trees from the kids at the orphanage. Bruce's favorite card was the one from his little friend Divvy, which was a voice recording (she is still blind) of her singing rudolf the red nosed reindeer.
