A/N~ This is a gift for Veradune for this years whouffaldi secret Santa. I hope you enjoy it!

"Doctor?"

"Yes, Clara?"

"Why don't you ever decorate the TARDIS?"

"What? Are you getting bored of this already?" He scowled at her, from the other side of the console. He quite liked the TARDIS's current theme and thought that she did too. So then why this sudden want for change?

She smirked at him, realising he had mistaken her words. "I wasn't on about the theme. I meant decorate, as in for Christmas."

He looked up at her slowly. "Why would I do that?"

"Because most people decorate their homes at Christmas."

"Clara" he sighed. "There's no point, if you want Christmas we can travel there. Outside is where the festivities are, not here. One second we could be in Christmas 2072 the next summer 1947. This is more a vehicle than a home."

"I know. It was just a suggestion, don't worry about it Doctor." She wanders off into the TARDIS and he's left confused by her actions. Feeling as if he'd let her down somehow.

Her words keep echoing in his head 'most people decorate their homes at Christmas'. But he wasn't most people. He was a Time Lord. But then again she wasn't, she was human and had a love for the silly human holidays. Maybe she had a point though. This was somewhat like a home for him, and since she was travelling with him more often now, maybe that was how she viewed it too. He gazed at the controls formulating a plan.

The next morning Clara wandered into the console room to find the Doctor covered in Christmas lights and the room had been transformed, there was tinsel wrapped around the bannisters. With lights hanging from the bookshelves and a Christmas tree adorned the corner of the room.

"Did you do all this?"

"No it was Santa's elves, they raided the place as it wasn't festive enough and left me like this as punishment."

"Really? Good old Santa." She mused, as she wandered over to him helping to pull the tangle of lights off of him.

"Of course it was me." He finished.

"Thank you." She rose up and pressed her lips to his cheek, and he instantly felt the warmth colour them.

"So what other Christmassy things shall we do?"
