"So, how's the Christmas decorating going, dear," River asked, doing her best not to crack a smile.

The Doctor lay sprawled beneath a large fir tree that was semi-decorated. Many shards of what looked like eggshell-thin glass baubles lay around him, shattered beyond hope of repair. Fairy lights were tangled around both the tree and the Time Lord, half of them blinking as though high on caffeine, while the other half slowly pulsed.

He gazed at her, his cheeks pink--though it was hard to say whether that was due to embarrassment or exertion.

"It, ah, might not have gone entirely as planned," he meekly stated, not quite willing to meet her gaze.

"Oh, sweetie," River giggled, shaking her head. "Only you could downplay a decorating disaster."
