I think I'm picking this one

[Wiccan]

I am bummed Monet wasn't there. But she may be in a story. One of Jubilee's if anything. Then again....JDW says one of the stories was heartbreaking. Maybe it's a Jean / Emma story,

I'm betting Hope's story is the heartbreaking one. It's called “THE LONGEST NIGHT” and this is her first Christmas without her father who just died...

I'm betting Hope's story is the heartbreaking one. It's called “THE LONGEST NIGHT” and this is her first Christmas without her father who just died...

Then again, given JDW being a huge Kitty fan, he could be speaking about her. lol

But really he says most of the stories are happy, but not all of them. So serious bets on the less-than-happy stories

Hope
Magneto
Arcade (given murder is in the title) lol
Gabby's may be possible. Her being a secret santa to someone whose Xmas isn't good.
Nature Girl's doesn't sound happy either.
.
.
Sabretooth's is in the air. It could be a light fun slasher comedy. lol Or like stated, it'll be a dark tale about his past misdeeds.

These are my bets for characters who will have the unhappy (or dark) stories.

Given how Laura feels about birthdays, I'm guessing Gabby sets up a Christmas for her after Laura is very insistent that she's having nothing to do with this.

I'm hoping for Gabby using Secret Santa as a ploy to maneuver Laura and Hellion under the mistletoe.

It's a faint hope, but hey, Christmas is the season for miracles.

[Soulsword323]

I don't think it'll happen, but I'm kinda hoping that Lorna will show up in Bunn's Magneto story.

[Silver Fang]

Seems my original prediction on Sabretooth was accurate.

Once again, we got that ugly 90's outfit. lol and Sitterson praises him as one of the best villains.

So we got our slasher Christmas tale. Either a flashback story, or he's un-inverted in WX, back to the full 90's look and on a killing spree after a year of too much goodness. lol

Have to wait & see, but I am wary of this story for now. Especially with Chris Robinson involved.

[AppleJ]

So looking forward to this!

[DearMachine]

Oh right. I forgot there was gonna be a bigger story. I just thought it was gonna be along with other 24, not divided in a bunch of the 25 lol.

I also expected a single four page story, and then twenty-four one page stories. I guess it makes sense to have a frame narrative.

I am excited that we have two Gambit stories. And one of them will have the cats, i.e. the most important characters in the X-universe.

And I kinda wish Storm was real so she could zap Charlamagne for having the temerity to write her. Sorry, Storm stans. You're getting a self-confessed rapist writing a female pov.

Lets not go down that route with the thread. I'd rather it stay light-hearted predictions & fun rather than discuss or argue the controversy regarding political or sexual affairs of the creative team members.

The last Holiday thread got derailed by this topic.

No shame in it. I was hoping for Xmas pairings myself. One of them can still happen, but the other one is scrapped. Which is cool, because I knew that wasn't gonna happen. Didn't stop the VERY brief wish for it. lol

Then again, I wonder if Gabby & Laura's may briefly mention them missing Daken. I don't think his "death" has been addressed for either of his "sisters," Maybe it has been. If so, sorry for the ignorance of events.

Let’s hope Eye Boy is alive. Christmas would suck for Lin if Eye Boy dies again.

[Tazirai]

Recently announced. Characters in the Xmas Special, and the creative teams on board. Jubilee is very popular, as she's got a good few stories.17. THE BRADDOCKS in “BABY STEPS”

Psylocke FINALLY meets Maggie?

[Silver Fang]

More often than not, Eye Boy may not even be involved here. lol But you never know. Hope they get it together soon & stop killing & reviving him when it's convenient.
