Mr Copper was the resident historian on the Capricorn Cruises Titanic, with a degree in Earthonomics. The Doctor was somewhat bemused by his description of Christmas. Human beings worship the great god Santa - a creature with fearsome claws - and his wife, Mary. Every Christmas Eve, the people of UK go to war with the people of Turkey - and eat the Turkey people for Christmas dinner like savages. Mr Copper later compares the carnage on the Titanic to Christmas as it is a festival of violence - where you only survive whether you have been good or not, which he finds barbaric.
Of course, it transpires that Mr Copper gained his qualification from "Mrs Golightly's Happy Travelling University and Dry Cleaners" - hence his rather warped take on Christmas traditions...
