Doctor Who Christmas Carol

I can't recall the last time I spent an hour barking with laughter, marveling at clever references, and beaming with glee, but that's how I spent the time watching this year's Xmas special.  I'm so pleased my mother and brother wanted to watch it with me; since they haven't seen any of the new Who, they were a bit lost in places, but soldiered on anyway.  

Oh, and I made a damn fine roast beast for dinner, if I do say so myself.
