The Holidays Are Coming! The Holidays Are Coming!

'Tis the season to get pressies, fa la la la, la la la lar! Joy to the Jon, the Lord is come (to give me pressies)! Oh come all ye pressies, come to pappa Johnny! O come, O come, Emmanuel, and ransom captive pressies! I saw three ships come sailing in
on Christmas day, on Christmas day, I saw three ships come sailing in, fully loaded with pressies (for me)!

There's an awful lot of come at Christmas, isn't there? I never realised. I must have been a deprived child. All the more reason to give me pressies! No, I must suppress my excitement (and come) for another few days.

Now Noel Edmonds has made a comeback maybe we'll get to see his gurning face and bizarre hand-graffitti on the tellybox first thing in the morning, just like the old days. Or maybe not, as I have just checked the TV listings, but before the Queen is wheeled out again we do get the return of Top of the Pops, and the actual gurning faces of Bruce Forsyth, Harry Potter and Robbie Williams. Luckily I will be too busy opening my stash of PRESSIES to care!
