"Nah, I've never been particularly good with Christmas," he said. "Always did enjoy it, but never quite understood it. Yates always told me I was a bit too alien."

He looked over to the creature, the one that still looked like Donna. He wondered, privately, what she was doing right now. Was she celebrating? Hiding from a hangover?

"Besides, nobody wants a strange man showing up on their Christmas, do they?"

The Doctor expects the teleportation and actually opens his mouth to protest. When it doesn't come, though, he has to admit being a little disappointed. Hiro was particularly good at getting them out of very tight situations, why hasn't he pulled them out now?

"Hiro?" He turns back, seeing Hiro's hand frozen mid-gesture. His eyes go from Hiro to the crystal hovering near them, and then back.

"Hiro!" he says, more firmly. "Listen to me. Can you hear me?"

With his words, the Doctor immediately decided that yes, he did like Alan Jackson. Anyone who was willing to go out of their comfort zones and take the extra step to save the world earned extra points in the Doctor's Yes-I-Like-You book.

And he was protecting his daughter. The Doctor silently envied him that ability.

"Allons-y," he said, turning towards the UN building and starting off at a quick jog, hoping that finding Alan running to begin with meant he wasn't already gassed.

The Doctor scrambled awkwardly to his feet, took half a step back away from Lucy, and tried for all the world to look like he had not only meant to do that, but it was all right that it had happened.

"You all right?" he asked.

That could've been more awkward. He wasn't entirely certain how it could've been more awkward, but...somehow it could've.

The Doctor beamed at Wilf. Good to know where Donna got her adventerous spirit from. It certainly wasn't her mother. The Doctor panicked internally that Sylvia might magically show up and yell at the two of them, but he decided he'd worry about that when the time came.

He followed the device's signal, gesturing for Wilf to follow. While the signal simply seemed to lead in a straight line, even two blocks down the Doctor noticed they hadn't managed to get closer to it.

"And we have odd occurrence number two." He paused. "Odd occurrence. I like that. Anyway, it looks like the signal's either changed, moved, or it's moving along with us. We're not getting closer."

"Plans?" the Doctor called over to her, saying the word as though it were some foreign idea he'd never heard before. He rolled over on the ice and another tentacle smacked down hard, forming another long crack.

"Right now, plan #1: Get away from this thing before it pulls us both under water. All other plans come later. Let's stick with plan #1 for now!"

"That's good," the Doctor said, picking up on Donna's psychic waves. He could feel her emotions, and he was surprised by how much calm she was radiating with her thoughts. He wasn't that surprised, though. Donna was brilliant.

"Now, try introducing yourself. Some species won't even open up communications without proper introductions. A bit silly, maybe, but it's true."

• THE DOCTOR LEARNS THE TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS •

~•~

Christmas Eve. 2009.

The Doctor loved Christmas! Back when he was a wee Time Lord, the first place he ever landed was London on Christmas Eve. He promised himself he'd never miss another Christmas ever, but that promise went into the same pile as "Lose weight" and "Regenerate a better hairline" and "Stop leaving companions in other universes". But the Doctor had never quite gotten the hang of New Years'. (He once spent several hours commiserating on the similarity between the confusing nature of New Years and Thursdays with one Arthur Dent, who will sadly not be appearing in this piece of narrative. -editor)

But! Through all his travels in space and time, he still hadn't quite figured out what Christmas was for exactly. Except as a yearly excuse for turkey, too much wine, and plum pudding (all of which the Doctor approved of). This year, though, as he strode the streets on this wonderful Christmas Eve, the Doctor decided he would figure out exactly what Christmas was all about.

This may or may not have included use of a intergalactic manipulative detector and a full pack of radio stellar isotopian crystals. Oh, and a cup of hot chocolate. In a festively-coloured cup.

There was a lovely light snow, and the Doctor grinned madly at the stars. Christmas. This year, he was going to figure out what it was all about.

OOC: Open thread, feel free to tag in as if your character is a passerby or as if your character is a long-standing companion! I'll be working on this thread up until the New Year, most likely! Everyone from any verse (or no verse!) is welcome, just let me know if you'd prefer it from a community or specific universe! And, for this thread, threadhopping is totally welcome!

Happy Holidays, everyone! &hearts

~~Dear Father Christmas~~
~~Dear Mr. Claus~~
~~Santa Me Mate!~~
To Whom It May Concern:

Now, I know you're getting quite a few of these letters this year (though probably not as many as last year considering the age development into the non-believing years of teenagers and the lack of writing skills in today's youths---did you notice that? I find it positively ridiculous! Also, the non-believing years are getting younger, too!---sorry, getting off topic) so I'll make this as short as possible.

Firstly, I would like to say how incredibly disappointed I was in last year's gifts from you. I distinctly wrote that I wanted a Detrahydrocorpro Meter 543C Class, and instead I got a Hydrocoro-semipro Meter 433 Class. Might as well have just given me a sock tied up to a string for all the good it would do my TARDIS! I very nearly didn't write this year, I was so disappointed! And I was so good last year, too! I saved the universe multiple times and only really managed to break two people's hearts in the process. And Martha moved on! Did you see?

So! I think this year you'll simply have to owe me. Which is good, because what I want isn't all that easy to find. I want a new B-0rg temporal transmitter, and none of your 52nd century rubbish, I want one that will actually last a few centuries before burning out. There's an exact model I want and here's a drawing and the link to the current bidding options on the local multiverse computer channels.

And here's the link.

Now, I know that this is hardly a cheap gift, so I've made a list of the reasons why you (the gift giving father of Christmas) should give me (the do-gooding Doctor of everything) this gift (the B-0rg temporal transmitter preferably in green).

1) The aforementioned pathetic gift last year needs making up.
2) Saved the universe.
3) Kept the TARDIS in generally good upkeep (even without a Detrahydrocorpro Meter 543 C Class that would've kept her temperatures at a reasonable level)
4) ~~Did not break anyone's heart~~ Managed to keep the heart-breaking to a relative minimal status
5) Saved the universe
6) Cleaned my room every week
7) Argued minimally with Donna
8) Did I mention I saved the universe? That should be worth a few points in my favor, I think!

So! That's eight to me and what have you got? You still have a -1 for that bad gift last year! I think I've proven my point! So, here's a copy of my current PO Box Address. Don't bother with Christmas Delivery, I never manage to make it back in time for Christmas, but you can leave it there and I'll pick it up after the Byzantine New Year.

Oh! And Happy Christmas! Tell Dasher I'm not still sore after that whole reindeer-games business.

I'll be pretty much afk for the next two days due to retail holiday and traveling about to see the spouse's family. Once back, I should be able to catch ALL tags.

Have a safe and happy holiday, darlings! And don't forget to watch Voyage of the Damned on BBC One Christmas Day at 6.50! *bouncesqueeglee* I expect to see Astrids out there for me to play with when I get back!

Right. So there's this meme going around with mistletoe and kissing? Apparently I missed it until today. Kept getting all these little messages with people and mistletoe and I just thought they were trying to help me prevent werewolves!

As it is, thank you all very much for, uh, wanting kisses from me. I apologize for the delays in said kisses, universe saving and all that.

Therefore! Here's my little contribution to kissing, because it's the season. If you've requested a kiss or would like a kiss, comment here. ~~I'm not 2007 Tammy winner of Biggest Slut for nothing~~.

Happy Christmas!

EDIT: And here's the actual meme...

Two ways to play:

Request kisses from the Doctor.
If you'd like a kiss from the Doctor just comment here and let him know. He'll reply to your comment with a drabble of sorts that involves the kiss, or put up a thread to get that kiss on it's way. Or if you'd like a bit more control over the situation just start your own post and mark the entry locked to the Doctor, and leave me a comment here letting me know where the thread is and the Doctor'll be there!

Offer kisses to Others.
If you're feeling particularly bold or adventurous, post the picture in your journal, note that it's open to all, and let people ask for kisses from you. Give them at least a sentence or two in response, though--none of this "*kiss*" nonsense, that's no fun.

OOC: Silly little mun, I never read the meme until today! I'm so sorry for the delays. Anyone who'd like a kiss, go ahead and toss 'em in here and I'll have the Doctor lay one on ya. =D

Tis the Season and all that! Let's have some fun before pre-Christmas retail and planning drives us all batty And since we all know it's better to give than to receive...

Post the name of your character here and the Doctor will give you a Christmas gift! I'll write what he gives you and how he gives it to you!

OOC: Thank you to everyone for being so patient with my slow tags. Holiday retail's getting me down. This should help with some cheering. =) I'm still working on that rescue story, should get it done by the end of the week.I'm still working on that rescue story, should get it done by the end of the week. =) Happy Thanksgiving!

In regards to valentines and the like.

No, no, I did not forget anyone who put up a meme or...you know something like that about valentines. I simply did not answer.

Valentines Day is a ridiculous holiday. What happened? I mean, think about it---St. Valentine? Man was marrying couples against his Roman Emporer's decree that soldiers should be unmarried. Noble idea, yes, but all it ended with was him getting his head lobbed off.

(Ow.)

That, and there should be no reason for me not to tell the ones that I l---that I care deeply for that I do on any day of the year. Ridiculous human holiday.

OOC: Naturally, it had nothing to do with the fact that my browser is unable to deal with those meme things. Oh, c'mon. You know if he could he'd have one up himself to have people tell him how much they love him. Bastard.
