It sounds like a line from an Abbott and Costello sketch (and yes, I
know it should be "whom"), but for Whovians everywhere, it makes perfect
sense. The annual Christmas special has become a traditional way to
wrap up the holiday. A glass of eggnog and the BBC are a delightful pairing.
So are we liking the new guy? After four weeks I, for one, am quite happy with Peter Capaldi's version of the iconic character. The new Doctor is a delightful curmudgeon with a streak of eccentric social oblivion, yet remains true to his core values. His attire is both understated and snappy, and the new TARDIS interior has the flavor of traditional elegance with a streamlined, modern flair.
Happily, none since Six have attempted to repair the chameleon circuit, and we still have the classic blue police box exterior we've all grown to love. It's an image that inspires dreams of adventure and a better world, and one that many of us enjoy looking at in our daily lives.
With that in mind, I'm happy to announce (as promised a few weeks ago) a new Christmas police box design in two variations... with and without snowfall.

In
making this design, I placed each of the bulb colors on different
layers then added a glow around them using Layer Styles. It would not
have been possible to make the glow the same colors as the lights had
they been on the same layer. It's a subtle embellishment, but one I
think contributes to the overall impression of warmth. I also added more
glow around the top light and the whole than I did on earlier versions.
