    Merry Christmas! With what has now become a Yuletide tradition for us here at Traveling the Vortex, we present this year’s Christmas special.

    And, because we like to rank things (not) we decided it would be fun to take a look back at some of the Doctor Who Christmas specials and choose our top five favorites. Also, we look at the one story we think is the absolute worst. And we decide which story we feel best represents Christmas.
