A Doctor Who Christmas

by Xayhra

This is 3 (or maybe 4) unrelated Xmas Doctor Who one-shots. First is an AU where the (10th) Doctor, Rose, Mickey, Jackie, and Donna celebrate Xmas. Second is Donna and Ten going to a planet where the people sometimes look like Xmas trees. Third is 10 explaining Xmas on Gallifrey to Rose, which is religious so if you are not a Christian, you probably won't want to read. Merry Xmas!

3. Chapter 3

So third, and last probably. Unless you want me to write the fourth. I'll tell you my idea for it at the end. Anyway, this one is the Doctor telling Rose about Christmas on Gallifrey. It is mildly religious, so if you are not a Christian, you probably won't want to read this one. Not saying you can't. You're perfectly welcome to. Please don't leave me flames just 'cause you aren't a Christian though. At any rate, hope you enjoy! Sorry for any spelling/grammar mistakes.

Disclaimer: I don't own Doctor Who.

Rose frowned as a thought occurred to her. She was sitting on the bench in the TARDIS with her feet propped up on the controls. The Doctor was glaring down at his suit jacket, picking at a stain that had appeared sometime in their last journey on planet Neherim. "You know all these Christmases we've been through, yeah?" she asked.

The Doctor glanced at her. "Yeah," he replied, not sure where this conversation was going.

"Well, we were so busy saving the world that we've never gotten Christmas gifts for each other."

The tall, skinny man across from her shrugged. "We haven't, have we?" he murmered. Then his face filled with glee. "Did you know that Christmas in Gallifrey takes place in April?"

"You're kidding!" Rose exclaimed, forgetting where she had been going with her previous statement. "I thought Christmas was only an earth thing!"

The Doctor shook his head. "Nope. We all go back-well, most of us-to the night Jesus was born. We draw straws before we go and one of us has to be the last person in the inn. I did that once, pretty fun. But the other times we become the wise men!"

Rose looked slightly shocked. "That's amazing! But I thought there were only three wise men?"

"Nah, we're actually not told how many wise men there were." He grinned then. "Wanna go take up the last room in the inn?"

Rose grinned back and off they went to that little inn in Bethlehem on the night the King of Kings was born.

So my idea for a fourth Christmas one-shot is the Doctor as a child in Gallifrey on Christmas. Tell me if you think I should write it. I won't if no one says they want me to. At any rate, Merry Christmas! Please review!
