Christmas short stories!

I need to finish two stories from Twelve Doctors of Christmas in my quest to finish every Jackie story. This made me feel like I might read the book and maybe some of the other Christmas stories anthologys. Do you have any favourites from them?

I know that it is early but it is only 42 days until Christmas :santa:

On a more serious note, though, I read Twelve Doctors of Christmas and Ten Days of Christmas last year. They were both fine: they had a couple of fun stories as a whole lot of average stories. And all of them Christmasy, of course. I can’t remember what I thought of them because this was a couple of months before I joined Tardis Guide. I can’t imagine how difficult life was in those dark days!

I’ve only read Canaries from The Winter Paradox and haven’t read Twelve Angels Weeping at all.

I must remember not to create topics when I am putting the kids to bed :joy:

Isn’t it obvious: it’s a story that isn’t short or long; it’s simply stort.

Or, I guess you could use the beautiful Swedish word “lagom”.

This is the only one I’ve read. It’s a real roller coaster of quality, with some of the best and worst Doctor Who shorts I’ve encountered thus far.

It is crazy how many different Christmas Anthony books there are.

Focus on putting your kids to bed instead of focusing on Christmas books about dudes called Anthony :grin:

@Tian, you clearly shouldn’t be on the forum at all while putting your kids to bed! Who is Christmas Anthony?

I guess there always has to be one who thinks like this :grin:

The only one of these I’ve read is the twelve doctors of Christmas.

The first doctor and twelfth doctor stories were the ones that stuck in my mind the most (one of them only because it had the Monk in it and I love the Monk), but apparently the one I rated highest was the 8th Doctor story despite not remembering it much now…

I feel honoured that Tian cares more about us than his children :wink: They know who to blame once they have grown up and remember never sleeping well during their childhoods.

I’ve worked retail for over 20 years. It wears you down.
