Ahh, very fun. For a minute there, with the turtles and the camels, I thought there would be a Discworld digression into polytheism and advanced mathematics. But an excellent Christmas story, which should be filmed by the BBC.

*blinks* The Internet is right, actually. "House of Bread" in Hebrew is "Beit Lechem", which can easily become "Bethlehem". Hee.

Curiously,the Arabic for Bethlehem -- بيت لحم (bayt laham)-- literally means "House of Meat." Which sounds somewhat less welcoming, I think.

OMG, that was awesome. Especially the Doctor and the Christmas carols. I could totally see him doing that, especially the five gold rings.

random stopwatch -- Jack was probably looking for that
almost made me hyperventilate

So I said to him, Shepherd Boy, do you know what I know?
hee!

when I read stories, I like to give detailed feedback about the specific sections I liked. The problem with your stories is that I like everything -- and I don't even particularly like Christmas stories. But I still like so much that I couldn't possibly give detailed feedback.

Bethlehem does literally translate to "House of bread" (Beit = house, lehem = bread), so Breadville cracked me up.

I thoroughly enjoyed this-- thank you! :)

I was pretty sure something was up when you introduced Christopher, as that name didn't exist before Christ, and I do love the way you've set up time as cyclic, without banging us over the head with it. And bonus!Jack-- I'll never complain about that. :)

This is the best Doctor Who Christmas Special ever.

A fantastic story!

Happy Christmas, Sam. ^_^

HAHAHA... oh, I should have guessed that Jack would be involved somehow, but your tale took me completely by surprise. I was totally expecting Jesus, not Kaz.

Daddy!Jack is adorable, by the way.

[info]sam_storyteller

December 22 2008, 14:31:56 UTC 3 years ago

Daddy!Jack charmed me actually. I love picturing him swimming through the river, hauling the Doctor and Kaz, and trying to reassure a kid who totally won't understand that "Daddy's here, it's okay!"

This... was UTTER CRACK. Lovely, lovely crack. I enjoyed it immensely and could damn well hug you for it; I needed good crackfic tonight. ^___________^ Thank you, and happy Yule!

Ahahaha! That was brilliant.

AHAHAHAHA!

When Jack showed up I just started saying "what" at my screen over and over. My mind was blown.

Brilliantly done - excellent variety of references, and you had the 10th Doctor's voice down pat.

AHA! That was exactly the reaction I wanted :D Glad it paid off.

And they played Emperors!

I do so love a "very special holiday episode" of just about anything!! I just wish I knew more about Whoville Cosmology!


"You should starve a cold and feed a fever." Are sure it's not the other way around? I think when you have a fever of unknown origin (as opposed to the fever that's a symptom of a cold), you're just supposed to break the fever by any means necessary and anything else can wait...

[info]sam_storyteller

December 22 2008, 14:27:11 UTC 3 years ago

Technically you should feed both, but I believe the reasoning behind it is that you don't want to eat when you have a stomach bug, but when you have a fever you need to eat because the fever is burning up more calories than normal.
