Another Day, another chapter. Enjoy!

The next morning Jack yawned as he came down the stairs. He tried to turn the corner into the kitchen only to run smack into something solid. He fell back on his back, groaning in pain.

"OW!" he cried, grabbing his nose. The something solid, turned out to be the TARDIS, which shimmered back into being visible.

"It turns invisible. Right." Jack nodded. The Eleventh Doctor stuck his head out of the doors and looked around in confusion before spying Jack on the floor.

"Jack? What are you doing down there?" he asked.

"Counting ceiling tiles. What do you think Doctor? I ran into the TARDIS!" Jack said starting to get up.

"I feel your pain. Believe me I do." the Doctor said with a wince, thinking of the many times he had miscalculated the location of a cloaked TARDIS. He helped Jack up and together they found everyone in the kitchen, talking all at once. Amy and Rory were playing with Jenna and JJ, Zoe and Rose were talking as were Allison's son Kevin with the Tenth Doctor. And Clara was helping Allison pull another batch of cookies from the oven.

"Blimey. This is madness." The Eleventh Doctor whistled.

"This is Christmas." Jack smiled, reminded of his childhood growing up in a large family in Ohio.

"Good morning Jack. Doctor." S.A.R.A.H greeted as Jack got his thermos of coffee.

"Morning S.A.R.A.H." Jack said giving Allison a kiss.

"Can I get you some breakfast Doctor? Anything at all, just name it. I'm here for you." S.A.R.A.H insisted.

"Fine thanks." Eleven rolled his eyes before attempting to swipe a cookie, but Allison smacked his hand with a spatula.

"No!" JJ spoke up.

"You tell him Baby." Allison cooed at her infant son.

"Actually he just wants all the cookies for himself." Ten said taking a sip of coffee.

"How do you know that?" Rose asked.

"Apparently they speak Baby." Amy said dryly.

"Of course they do. So what's the plan today?" Jack asked.

"Well I'm taking the girls shopping for Christmas gifts. Oh Allison do you want them to do the secret Santa thing?" Zoe asked her stepmother.

"Yes! Hang on. Since Jack and I got married, I started a secret Santa gift exchange with all our friends. Then on Christmas Eve we open the gifts at Cafe Diem before sitting down to watch the Doctor Who Christmas Special." Allison explained, getting a pad of paper and a pencil.

"I thought the Special aired on Christmas Day?" Rory asked.

"One of the perks of living in Eureka." Allison smirked.

"Oh good. One less day of people asking if we're okay." Clara muttered to Eleven.

"Actually they'll probably still ask way after the show airs." Ten said.

"Shut up." Clara told him.

Ten was saved from Clara's glare when a chime went out through the house and all the Eureka residents turned their attention to the wall where S.A.R.A.H brought up a viewing screen.

"Oh! Is it time for morning cartoons?" Eleven asked hopefully.

Only to deflate when Jack said, "Nope. Monday Morning Town Meeting."

"Oh. I love meetings. They're so dull and boring." Ten said tucking a hand into his pocket.

"S' Not what you said during our meeting last night..." Rose muttered eating a banana while Ten choked a bit on his coffee.

He was saved once more by Henry coming on the screen live and announcing,

"Good morning everyone. Happy Holidays. First order of business, if you haven't heard already, The Doctors and their companions are back in town for Christmas. Say 'hello' guys." Henry said pushing a button before him. Suddenly the screen switched to show them in the kitchen. Eleven looked back and forth between the screen and the faces of his friends which ranged between confusion and amusement. Rory waved his arm to see the action happening on the screen.

"Oh. Live. Okay then. Hullo! Merry Christmas Eureka!" Eleven proclaimed.

"Merry Christmas." chorused the companions.

"Yes, Joyeux Noel Eureka." Ten said raising his mug in a toast.

"You always have to be different don't you?" Eleven asked him.

"Don't start." Ten said.

"Next order of business..." Henry wisely interrupted, turning the screen back to himself, "The Eureka Christmas Light Contest will be judged on Christmas Eve. Not before. So please refrain from trying to 'invite' the judges over to 'get their opinion'."

Everyone in Cafe Diem looked over at Fargo.

"What?" he asked.

"And if you are competing in the contest, please use either a solar powered generator to power your house or solar powered LED lights. So as not to drain the power grid. And Hal's Hardware is having a sale on solar powered LED lights so get them while they last." Henry said. Fargo and Taggart took one look at each other before bolting for the door, trying to push each other back.

"We are also having our third annual Christmas Viewing Party at Cafe Diem. And Allison Blake will tell us more about that." Henry said.

The feed switched back to Allison who said, "Thanks Henry. So I have everyone's names who wanted to participate in the secret Santa gift exchange, and I'll be at Cafe Diem from two to four today so that everyone can pull a name from the Secret Santa Hat. And first up, I'll let the Doctors and the companions choose since it's their first year." Allison said going around her kitchen island to each of her guests to draw a slip of paper.

"I got Jo Lupo!" the Eleventh Doctor exclaimed.

"And I got Vincent! Brilliant!" Ten grinned.

"Doctors, you're not suppose to tell who you got." Rory told them.

"Oh. Should we draw again?" Ten asked.

"But I don't want to." Eleven pouted.

"You know what? It's okay. You heard 'em Eureka. This year's secret Santa isn't so secret." Allison said.

Watching from Cafe Diem, Jo Lupo paled and muttered, "Oh gawd..."

"This should be interesting." Zane commented from his seat beside her.

Meanwhile, in a high security federal prison the inmates were out in the yard for their daily exercise. If it was the cold or the holiday season, either way the inmates were fighting with snowballs rather than each other. Others were playing basketball. A guard called them inside. Unbeknownst to the guards, a piece of paper was being passed from prisoner to prisoner as they lined up to go back inside. The recipient of the note, a young Latino man opened the note to see a bunch of ones and zeroes. He looked to the head of the line.

"Come on King. Get going." a guard ordered a short blond man towards the front. He smirked over his shoulder back at the younger man.
