Part of the 2025 Holiday Fic Challenge. This is set around season 5, pre- marriage and babies. Assume this is an alternative reality to Moroccan Christmas.

Bizarrely my received requests were similar to last years’, but I’ve had a bash at doing something different for this year. Apologies if you read my story from last year and I’ve inadvertently recycled any of it (I’ve purposely not re-read it in preparation to keep this year’s “fresh”.)

Also apologies that some of my centred dividers didn't, erm, centre, despite trying to correct them with HMTL. I've tried to use Americanisms wherever possible, but you will see British English spellings for the most part and I will not apologise for that.
