[Standing in the middle of the holiday aisle with a rather jolly hat despite the time of year is the Doctor. Behind him is a basket FULL of lights and he holds onto another basket. Neighbors beware!]

Right! Last year the locals confiscated my brilliant display and turned off the power. This year I'm a step ahead and I've built my own generator.

...Kinda confused: what's the point of putting lights on display?

[daft_old_man]

For enjoyment. Everyone likes looking at sparkling lights so why not share the enjoyment with the whole neighborhood?

[kings_thief]

I guess so. Is this something you do back home? I've never heard of such a thing.

[daft_old_man]

No. Well, yes if I'm somewhere that celebrates Christmas and you'd be surprised how many planets do!

[kings_thief]

Really? What's the point of it? [He's honestly curious.]

[daft_old_man]

Everyone loves a good celebration especially if that celebration involves crackers and lights!

[kings_thief]

Sounds like a good celebration to me, in that case.

[daft_old_man]

It's a great celebration.

Are you from Earth? I'm surprised you've never heard of this festival.

[kings_thief]

No, I'm not. Guess I'm just visiting.

[daft_old_man]

Well there's no better way to get acquainted with a planet than to experience their holidays!

[kings_thief]

I'll have to look more into it, then, thanks.

[daft_old_man]

Of course! Feel free to stop by and be cheered up by the light display!

[Insert home address]

I've been told that I should only keep the lights on until midnight, so come before then!

[kings_thief]

Thanks, I will! Don't know how I could resist magically lit-up animals.

[daft_old_man]

You can't! See you around then!
