Really enjoyed this one!

If there is one Thing that is hard to do with the second Doctor, it's the Fact that Throughton's onscreen Performance is a Key Part of why it worked so well. So it's no wonder that some Prose struggle with this, not this one, which I can only highly praise really!

Besides that, it's just a fun Christmas Story with some great Banter with the second Doctor and Santa Clause!

This is a pretty excellent short story featuring The Second Doctor teaming up with Santa Claus. It is clever, fun, and a great creative take on a Christmas themed story. Much closer to what I expected out of the Christmas Treasury in general. I also love the reference to John and Gillian Who, which even gives a funny sense of "canon" to Santa Claus in the Whoniverse. Writer Mark Michalowski did a great job at bringing the Second Doctor and his eccentricities to life!
