Title: The Day of The Doctor
Rating: K
Felicity always manages to forget when it's Christmas—being Jewish does that to a person. She never really got the holiday, but luckily Ray doesn't either.
They don't have a Christmas tree or any decorations. Her cheap menorah from the drugstore is sitting on her coffee table. It's covered in wax and she's definitely not looking forward to cleaning it up.
Their day is spent being lazy and enjoying the day off from work. Well, Felicity's enjoying it. She's curled up against Ray's side on the couch as he types away on his laptop one-handed. He had an epiphany that morning at six and had pretty much been working since then.
It can be a little aggravating when he's in that zone because it's pretty much impossible to get him out of it, but Felicity does like seeing him work. He's not a workaholic by any means. His brain is just always "on" and when he gets a particularly good idea, he gets excited—and she finds it adorable (and would never ever tell him that).
While he's been working, she's been messing around on her tablet. She's lost count of how many videos she's watched that involve adorable baby animals and how many random wikipedia articles she's managed to find and read. At this point in time, her brain is pretty much numb.
As she puts her tablet to sleep and gets up to stretch, she suddenly remembers that it's Christmas—which means one thing. The Doctor Who Christmas special.
She whispers it to herself and Ray's head immediately snaps up. "That's right!" He had also forgotten the significance of the day.
They're soon cuddled up on the couch together wrapped up in a blanket and they turn the TV on just in time for the special to start. And from that day forward, a new nerdy tradition is born.
