Good Omens: The Best Christmas Ever by Amy

The Best Christmas Ever (ensemble | PG | 1,126 words) is a Christmas get-together in Lower Tadfield. This is a wonderful little holiday fic, focusing on characters other than Aziraphale and Crowley. Which I like because Aziraphale and Crowley get so much fic about them.

Excerpt:
Newt would, traditionally, cut the turkey, or the chicken, or whatever other meal the woman of the house chose to slave over for hours, but this is not a traditional house, and since the unfortunate Scanner Incident (which had been predicted by Agnes but, sadly, not avoided; they thought she was referring to the musical career of the Spice Girls), Anathema has strictly enforced an edict that does not permit Newt near any objects which could cause death, destruction, or the purchase of new, expensive computer hardware. So Anathema cuts the turkey and Newt applauds politely.
