[Hector, Shi, Rapunzel, Karla, Dove, Sora, Martha, David, the 10th Doctor, Rose, and the 13th Doctor will all get a message on their phones, from a certain red haired fire wielder. In the background of the video is a partially decorated Christmas tree and a Growlithe half wrapped up in some gold garland.]

Hey guys. Just wanted to extend an invitation for everybody to come over to my place on Christmas afternoon this year. It's not a formal Christmas dinner or anything, but there'll be food and maybe a little carol singing and gift exchanging if anybody's up for that. It's come as you are, but ugly holiday sweaters are encouraged if you have them.

I know I already invited you, Shi, so you can just consider this a reminder.

[True, it might end up being a bit crowded in his apartment if everyone shows up around the same times, but every once in awhile, you need that sort of thing.]

Oh? I should certainly attend then. Perhaps meeting some of your other friends will help me make some more friends of my own...

Re: [Video]

[hotheadwarmheart]

It might. And either way, definitely looking forward to having you over. I don't think you've ever actually been to my place before.

[swordprincess]

[She giggles a bit.]

I haven't. In fact, I don't think I've ever been to anyone else's place...

[ivegotadream]

Oh, I've always wanted to try the whole carol singing thing. It always sounded like fun.

[She seemed happy enough.]

Count me in.

Re: video;

[hotheadwarmheart]

Alright, that's two RSVPed. Looking forward to seeing you there!

[ivegotadream]

It will be fun I am sure. Though do you want me to bring anything?

[Video]

[micancion]

Ah, singing?

No, wait...ugly holiday sweater?

[He looks confused but, he shrugs.]

Tell me what that is and I'll go, oh hey, I can bring something yeah? Or it doesn't work like that anymore?

Re: [Video]

[hotheadwarmheart]

[Lea nodded.]

I mean, I'm not about to make anybody sing if they don't want to, but Christmas and Christmas carols kinda go together, you know?

And ugly holiday sweaters are funny or deliberately tacky-looking sweaters that people wear this time of year, mostly for a laugh. Here, I'll show you a few examples.

[Lea sends along a few photos of different ugly sweaters.]

And I wasn't intending to make it a potluck, but sure, if you want to contribute to the festivities, go right ahead. I'll save a space on the table for whatever you're planning to bring.

Re: [Video]

[micancion]

Hey, can't go to a party without bringing something. It's sharing, you know?

[He could probably find a sweater like that. Even as he makes an 'ew' face at most of them.]

This makes people in the future laugh?

[ Martha has a few negative associations with Christmas, but it's a lovely offer. ]

I've agreed to work a shift for Christmas Eve, but I'll definitely stop by on my way home if I can.

Re: [ Video ]

[hotheadwarmheart]

[Lea nods.]

I'll be here pretty much all afternoon, at least, so you'll have a pretty big window.

[Oh, this was unexpected but also made her feel all sorts of bubbly inside!]

Oh, thank you very much! I'd love to come! I'm sure I have some appropriate Christmasy sweatery things in the TARDIS. What do you want me to bring? Oh! I know! Have you ever had a Christmas Puddin'?!

[That should be simple enough to bring along, and he doesn't sound English, so maybe it'll be a new thing for him! And not too hard to make, she can always use the TARDIS to-...oh. Well. Maybe she can't use the TARDIS to speed up the steaming time. No access to the Time Vortex here. Oh, it's fine, she'll just start it that morning, no big deal!]

Re: [Video]

[hotheadwarmheart]

[Lea grinned.]

Wait til you see the one I got. It's awesome.

[And super tacky, but since that was half the point of Christmas sweaters...]

And I can't say I have, no. But it does sound tasty, so sure, you can bring some if you want.

[Video]

[borntolove]

Thank you. The offer extends back to you for Christmas Day.

Re: [Video]

[hotheadwarmheart]

Sounds great. Might just head over there after things wrap up at my place.

[It might also be a convenient way to foist some leftovers- if there are any- off on someone else; just bring them along and then forget to take them when he leaves.]

Though where's your place likely to be on the day? From what I recall, it's a bit more... mobile, than most people's houses.

[bigbadrose]

Okay! We'll be there!

Re: Video

[hotheadwarmheart]

Great! Look forward to seeing you!

Re: Video

[bigbadrose]

Need us to bring anything? Drinks, food, music?

Video

[maskedsmile]

Thank you so much, Lea! That sounds like so much fun.

Should I bring any food in particular? I'm pretty okay at cooking!

Re: Video

[hotheadwarmheart]

You can bring something if you want, sure. Some of the others seem to be planning to bring stuff too, but the only one who's told me anything specific is the Doctor- the blonde, lady one- who said she'd bring Christmas pudding.

So pretty much you can bring whatever you want; I'll save a spot on the counter for it.

[maskedsmile]

I would love that, thank you! Christmas pudding, huh... I'm pretty good at desserts too. I can bake a Christmas cake, if that's okay?

[phoenixstrut]

[It's not like she's not often invited to parties, but this one strikes her differently. It's been a long time since she's properly celebrated Christmas...

She's all smiles when she responds, and completely honored.]

I'll definitely be there. Want me to bring anything special?

[hotheadwarmheart]

[Lea grins.]

Great! As for what to bring... well I've got a few people bringing deserts already, so that's pretty much covered. Hmmm... Is there anything you're especially good at making?

[ Hold the phone, Sora's been out of it like.. legit out of it. Floating in space staring off into nowhere land. ]

What? ... Wasn't it just .. Halloween?! Man, time flew... by... I was just a ghost yesterday.. I'unno. I'm down to party though.

Re: video;

[hotheadwarmheart]

[Yeah Lea's been wondering where you'd gotten off to Sora.]

I know right? Time sure flies.

But it'll be nice to have you over. I've already got your present picked out.
