He expects it to be like a fairy-tale Christmas scene. Instead, the village is covered in a red mist — a psychic fog that separates parents from their children. | ||
==Characters== | The fog blocks the children from the minds of their parents until the Doctor uses his sonic screwdriver to clear away the fog with a bright light. In the light, those behind the fog are revealed as [[Krampus (species)|Krampus]] — creatures of folklore who use the fog to create a fear and sadness (in this case from the feelings of losing a child at Christmas), on which they feed. | ||

The screwdriver doesn't give light to keep the fog away. It creeps back until the Doctor returns to [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] and switches on the roof light. The fog is dispersed, the parents are re-united with their children and the Krampus, unable to exist without sadness, fade away. | |||
