Be Good for Goodness's Sake (Short Trips: The History of Christmas).

Prose  A short but sweet entry from one of the annual seasonal anthologies.  A burglar is beaten by kindness from the Doctor.  The Time Lord doesn't want to spoil a nice family's Christmas.  It's about six pages and told from the point of view of the "hoodlum" breaking into the house.  Demonstrates that Eighth is one of the few incarnations who can slip into a domestic situation without bringing too much attention to himself.

Placement:  He's travelling with Charley who he refers to as a teenager so I'll put it in the section before Stones of Venice.
