Welcome, weary traveller to the most
agreeable of convenient situations -
amongst my most favoured indeed,
particularly at this festive time of year. The
haunts and resting places that inspire me so,
have stood here long since and will stand
longer than I, have no doubt.
My strong advice lends to a recommendation
to mingle with my beloved creations and
their friends during the Dickensian Christmas
festival - Mr Pickwick, Mrs Pocket, and even
those rogues, Right Royal Revels. It is difficult
to enjoy their society without the
accompanying laughter and good spirit -
but do keep a watchful eye for Fagin!
Find comfort and warmth in our embracing
hosts, good guests - fill your bellies with
goose and pudding; and your head with
song and cheer for these are the
temptations of the festive season to which
even the good Reverend turns his blind eye.
So take cheer friends, I wish you a very
merry Christmas, fore I wager a prosperous
new year is ahead.
