Satsumas were a type of Earth citrus fruit. Sometimes called Christmas oranges[source needed], they were commonly given for Christmas in Great Britain, similarly to tangerines. The Tenth Doctor said, "...doesn't that just sum up Christmas? You go through all those presents and right at the end, tucked away at the bottom, there's always one stupid old satsuma." (TV: The Christmas Invasion)

(TV: The Christmas Invasion) The Doctor soon mentioned this satsuma in his diary.
