Advent Drabble 6 - Alien Holiday
For @auntiesuze
“It’s just like Christmas,” is what the Doctor assures all of them as the TARDIS landed on Bop Pidiamop.
“So Father Christmas is going to be here?” says Athena.
“Welllllllll, no.”
“There’s going to be Christmas presents?” asks Brem.
“Not that, either.”
“But I bet there’s going to be pretty trees!” exclaims Fortuna.
“Ah, not quite.”
“So,” Rose says, “when you say it’s just like Christmas…”
“I mean that there are gingerbread men.” The Doctor pauses. “Living gingerbread men. Who you then have to behead to eat. Like a turkey.”
“So maybe not at all like Christmas, then,” remarks Rose.
(there are still a couple of slots available here)
