Baby, it's cold outside the Tardis! (DT & the kids series)

Chapter 8

"I'm so glad to see this empty sack! How am I ever gonna repay u five?" Santa thanks, as Elfira hands over the empty toy sack. "Could u get rid of our tummy aches?" Rose asks, sweetly. "I see u couldn't keep away from those tempting treats, eh?" the sweet old man chuckles, wiping his glasses. "Well, I've a secret that I'd gladly share with u...Exercise!" he bellows. "I often find that a quick game of football with my elves helps in burning off those calories & helps me to just forget about the pain!" he exclaims cheerfully , with a snap of his fingers. "I love a game of football, but if u haven't noticed...it's freezing outside!" Matt grumbles. "So? We'll play wearing our coats!" Santa declares, pulling open a closet full of fur & woolen coats of different colours & sizes. He gestures to Elfis to bring along a football, as everyone reluctantly puts on their coats & follow him outside. "Is this really necessary? There's gotta be another way..." David begins to complain. "Unless u want a spoonful of Mrs. Claus' bitter tummy- ache medicine shoved down ur throat, I'd suggest that u shut ur trap!" Elfira interrupts him through gritted teeth. The kids overhear her & wrinkle up their faces in disgust! Soon, Elfonso the referee blows his whistle & they begin!
