"So how do you know when it's Christmas?" the Buffybot asked.
"I have a very special detection device," said the Doctor. "It activates
whenever it's Christmas Day. It doesn't matter where we are - it always
knows."
"So how does it work then? Does a buzzer go off or something?"
"No," said the Doctor with a smile. "I bet you'll never guess."
"Hm. A bell?"
"N-no."
"A light?"
"No."
"A fanfare?"
"No."
"Words come up on the screen saying Merry Christmas, to tell you?"
"No, nothing like that. Nothing noisy, or flashy, or wordy. I told you -
you're never going to guess."
The Buffybot looked carefully round the interior of the Tardis for clues.
Her eye was eventually caught by something small and shiny standing on top
of the central control console.
"Is that it?" she said, picking it up. The Doctor nodded.
"How does it work?"
"Just give it a shake. Gently. If it's Christmas, you'll soon know. It'll
tell you."
The Buffybot gingerly inverted it a couple of times and put it down again. A
few white particles swirled round the short, fat, lonely little figure
inside. She looked at the Doctor enquiringly.
"Is that it then?"
"Wait," he said.
Gradually the interior of the Tardis became very cold.
The Doctor smiled and pointed upwards.
Gently, silently, it began to snow.
