i wrote to you with childhood fantasies
Merry Christmas everyone!!! (Or Christmas Eve, depending on where you are.
This Christmas season, I've been feeling a lot more of the Christmas spirit.
I was a little down after my brother took our Christmas tree (he probably bought it to begin with and then it was his when it was left at his house...long story and lots of house-moving) because about half of the ornaments on it, I made and it's like..a part of my childhood! But since we're having Christmas there this year, it's not like I won't see it again or anything. I even helped set it up.
So instead, we had a smallish fibreoptic tree that I went out and got decorations for. And the whole decorating of the tree, by my own volition added a lot to the Christmas waaarmth. And the sheer amount of presents I've wrapped! There's 16 in my 'immediate' family. Then I wrapped most of dad's presents to people. Then presents to friends. Then emergency "didn't expect to see you but here's a present for you and for your child" presents.
Christmas Eve saw me delivering a present and recieving one. And getting a cold too, because the air con on the bus was turned up too high (I spent about an hour in total on buses with high air con). And then, I watched the tail end of Carols by Candlelight cause it's not Christmas without that. :P I turned off the tv after the program after it started - well, after the "this program is rated m for mature audiences" notice...which made me feel like, 9 years old or something since it seemed like I was turning off the tv cause of the m rated stuff. :P
So, because of that, I ended up googling for, and finding northpole.com which is almost the same as I remember it. I ended up on customised stories...and instead of entering my own details, of course I had to do fandom related ones!
Here's the Doctor, starring in "Elf for a Day"
Elf For a Day
The Doctor was not happy. It seemed like everyone in the universe was having a good time. Everyone else, that is. Nothing was going right today.
“I can’t find my timey wimey thing. Jack can’t come over and play. Now I have to stay here with a babysitter.” It was a new babysitter, not even someone familiar.
It was two days before Christmas, too! This time of year was supposed to be special!
“You look like you could use some cheering up,” the babysitter said. “Would you like to play with this snow globe?”
The Doctor walked closer. The babysitter smiled and handed the Doctor the snow globe. “Turn it over and watch the snow fall,” she said, her eyes twinkling. “It’s Santa’s Village-Santa’s Secret Village. This is where Santa, his elves, and his reindeer live.”
the Doctor picked up the snow globe and shook it until it was filled with floating snowflakes. There were little buildings inside and-look, there was a reindeer, and a tiny elf. They looked so real!
Suddenly the Doctor had the strangest feeling, as though something wonderful was about to happen.
The Doctor blinked. Snow was falling and voices were laughing. What had happened?
“Welcome to Santa’s Secret Village, Doctor,” said a cheerful grownup voice. the Doctor looked up into the smiling, bearded face of Santa Claus! “You’re our honorary elf for the day! These are my elves,” Santa added, looking around at the little people around them.
One elf handed the Doctor a green jacket and a funny-looking pair of shoes. “Hi, my name is Bud. Just put these on over your clothes. They’re woven with North Pole fleece and they will keep you warm here in Santa’s Secret Village.” The Doctor quickly pulled on the elf clothes. “There!” said Bud, “You could almost pass for one of us!”
Santa placed a red and green striped elf hat on the Doctor’s head and said, “I have to go check on my reindeer now, but I’ll see you later. Have fun!”
Bud took the Doctor to Santa’s Workshop, where elves were assembling and painting all kinds of toys.
“I bet all the kids in the universe combined don’t have this many toys!” said the Doctor.
Burt, the elf in charge of the toy production, showed the Doctor how to make a toy robot. “Very good!” said Burt, admiring the Doctor’s work. “You can be my helper any time!”
Next, Bud took the Doctor to the Mailroom, where Bif was surrounded by mailbags overflowing with letters.
“Hi Doctor, Santa told me you might drop by. I sure could use some help sorting the letters that came today. It’s getting close to Christmas Eve and we don’t want anyone to be disappointed on Christmas morning!”
Soon Bud and the Doctor were helping Bif open envelopes and sort the mail for Santa to read. the Doctor looked for letters from Jack and other kids back in the TARDIS but there were just too many letters to read-and the Doctor was only 907 anyway!
When they were finished, the three hurried to Mrs. Claus’ Kitchen, where the other elves were eating lunch. “Hi Doctor!” they called. “How do you like being an elf?”
“I love it!” replied the Doctor. What a morning! Wouldn’t the Doctor’s family be surprised if they could see Mrs. Claus standing here serving lunch and tea to the Doctor and a kitchen full of elves!
After lunch Bif went back to the Mailroom, but Bud and the Doctor stayed to help make cookies. Mrs. Claus even let them eat cookies right out of the oven. Yumm!
Bud led the Doctor to the Reindeer Barn, explaining that he learned how to groom reindeer at the Elf Academy. “But I can show you how it’s done,” said Bud.
Soon the Doctor was handling the brush with ease. After brushing each reindeer’s coat, the Doctor polished their antlers, then fed them carrots. The reindeer quickly grew fond of their new caretaker.
“I see you’ve made friends with my reindeer,” said Santa, walking into the Barn. Santa then spoke in a low voice to the reindeer. The Doctor wasn’t sure, but it sounded like he was talking in a special reindeer language. The reindeer perked up their ears, and their hooves danced in place, as though any second they would take flight!
“Doctor,” Santa said, “you’ve been a great honorary elf today-and you’ve been good all year, too-we want to give you a special treat. Would you like to ride on one of our reindeer?”
“Oh, yes!” cried the Doctor, jumping up and down in excitement. Santa sat the Doctor on top of the little reindeer called Raymond and gave the reindeer his instructions. Raymond pranced around, then leapt into the air, taking the Doctor for an exciting ride over the village.
“That was more fun than saving the world,” sighed the Doctor. “Oh, Santa, thank you so much for bringing me here!”
“We’ve enjoyed having you here today,” said Santa. “Come back and be an ‘elf’ with us again! Now I have to go check my list, and it’s almost time for you to go home. But first, Bud, take the Doctor to the Clubhouse and play for a while.”
The Doctor was getting tired, and it was time for supper back in the TARDIS. How would the Doctor get home?
At the Clubhouse the elves showed the Doctor their toys and books. the Doctor spotted a snow globe on the table and picked it up. “How strange,” thought the Doctor. “That tiny town inside looks like mine.”
“Wake up, it’s time for supper.” the Doctor blinked and looked around. This wasn’t Santa’s Secret Village. What happened?
“You’re back home,” said the babysitter. “Your family is back, too, and it’s time for me to go. I hope you have a Merry Christmas. Here, this is for you.” She held out the snow globe. “Santa wants you to have it-so you can visit again.”
So it wasn’t a dream! the Doctor was so happy! What a wonderful day it had been. This was going to be the best Christmas ever!
THE END!
And this year, we get Doctor Who on Boxing Day! :D Muchly excited for that.
