In a town called Witchetytit, there is a Christmas Street Fayre.</STRONG></P><P><STRONG>Two children, Johnny (age 9) and Alice (age 8)are there with their Mum and Dad and are having a great time. Mum and Dad stop at the stall selling mulled wine.</STRONG></P><P><STRONG>Dad says to Johnny and Alice, "Why don't you go to Santa's Grotto' over the road?"</STRONG></P><P><STRONG>Johnny, a bit naughty, replies 'well it will cost you £20 Dad, if we want a decent present" Dad hands over the £20 and says "Look after Alice" "Fat chance" mutters Johnny as he runs over the road to the grotto, with Alice trailing after him.</STRONG></P><P><STRONG>An elf with pink cheeks meets them at the door and asks for the money.</STRONG></P><P><STRONG>She takes them a walk through a lovely grotto with fake snow, polar bears, penguins and reindeer.</STRONG></P><P><STRONG>Then they arrive at a place where Santa is sitting. A very. very weird Santa, in all the right clothes but with frightening burning red eyes.</STRONG></P><P><STRONG><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="scary santa 2.JPG" style="width: 652px;"><img src="https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/40192iF1C5D337C6878311/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="scary santa 2.JPG" alt="scary santa 2.JPG" /></span></STRONG></P><P><STRONG>"Oh look" says Santa, "it's Johnny and Alice …So have you been good? "Oh yes" said Johnny, "I'm always good". Weird Santa glares at him with his burning red eyes…."I don't think so" says Santa showing nasty pointed teeth. "You have to look for your presents. Johnny, you go through this door and turn LEFT".</STRONG></P><P><STRONG>Alice said, "I try to be good Santa" Santa said gently, "I know you do Alice, now you go through the same door but turn RIGHT".</STRONG></P><P><STRONG>Johnny says "OK Santa. I hope I'm getting a good present" Weird Santa's eyes flashed at him.</STRONG></P><P><STRONG>Johnny steps through the door into the dark. He sees an illuminated sign pointing left. It said TNS "I wonder what that means" muttered Johnny. "I bet it means THE NICE SHOP" He starts to walk down the steps…..meanwhile…..</STRONG></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Alice did what Weird Santa had told her - went through the door and turned right. As she stepped forward, she slipped and slid towards a rabbit hole, down which she fell and hit the ground with a bump. Rubbing her head, she said out loud "Where am I?". Two voices, speaking as one, replied "Blunderland!! Welcome Alice, we are Tweedledum and Tweedledee"...Alice said "Where's Johnny?"….</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Johnny had reached the door of The Naughty Step, he pushed it open and nearly fell over when he saw a massive spider with glowing eyes staring at him. Screaming with fright, he picked up a mop and hit the spider in his eye which exploded covering Johnny with green slime....</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Quietly sidestepping an old box lying part-visible under a heap of crinkly paper, Johnny&nbsp;spots<SPAN> a </SPAN>whistle hanging on a bent nail in the landing half way down the steps...</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Oc1.jpg" style="width: 299px;"><img src="https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/40193iE31DFD945F2D6496/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="Oc1.jpg" alt="Oc1.jpg" /></span></P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="OC2.jpg" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/40195iCE02758D4BCBB451/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="OC2.jpg" alt="OC2.jpg" /></span></P><P>Bypassing the door, he glances in</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="OC3.jpg" style="width: 224px;"><img src="https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/40196i35D0DF7463FD87B8/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="OC3.jpg" alt="OC3.jpg" /></span></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Then Alice saw a Very Large White Rabbit looking at his Watch whilst he ran passed her muttering I'm late for the show ~ A hanging I think ~ Alice screamed</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>"What the hell's this?" said Johnny. "An ELF peeing into cups??"</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Meanwhile, in Blunderland, Tweedledee and Tweedledum asked Alice "Would you like to come to the Xmas Party ?"</P><P>"Xmas Party ? I love Christmas Parties " said Alice "Who`s organised it ?"</P><P>Just then a little fella popped up and said "Me. The Mad Hatter. I organised it. Who do you think organised the Xmas Party at No 10 last year ? Me !!! I went disguised as Boris"</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Meanwhile Johnny took the whistle and started whistling around... the massive spider appeared to be entranced by it…</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>and the elf began singing....</P><P>"Johnny, Johnny. Never ever eat yellow snow..."&nbsp;&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>As Johnny stepped off the bottom step, he saw glowing eyes blink, not once but twice...</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Johnny was confused. He could see nothing nice about this shop...Spiders, an elf peeing in cups, and him covered in green slime. "Where's Alice" he said…</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Meanwhile in Blunderland, Alice had reached a long table, laid out with food, with the Mad Hatter at the head of the table. Alice said "The White Rabbit rushed by me shouting about a hanging. Is this a hanging and Xmas party ?" To which the Mad Hatter replied...&nbsp;&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>"We're all mad here, gel!" and wandered off in search of a sugar cube…</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>YES we are after that Elf he has given us much trouble with his fanciful behaviour</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Meanwhile, back in Santa's Grot-Oh…</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Oc 4.gif" style="width: 480px;"><img src="https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/40197iE7C3E36772054CBB/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="Oc 4.gif" alt="Oc 4.gif" /></span></P><P>Things were getting seasonal</P><P>"A mad, hanging Xmas party" said Alice "Johnny is missing all the fun.

He rubbed his eyes... "Is that Alice at a tea party" he asked himself "How can I join her and have some fun ?"</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Johnny getting nearer, felt a sharp stab.&nbsp; "I've been stabbed" said Johnny Looking straight at the Rabbit whose eyes turned red and growled.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>The White Rabbit, who had appeared through the mirror,&nbsp;dragged Johnny, with blood pouring from stab wound in his back, back through the mirror into Blunderland...

The Elf tore off the paper from the parcel and as he was about to open it, there are was a huge explosion, sending the Elf backwards covered in soot.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Suddenly with a puff of smoke Weird Santa appeared and said to Johnny. "What the hell is the mess you have left on The Naughty Step?". Snow, Pee, Spiders gooey eye and&nbsp; your clothes?? We have a rule round here about TNS!"</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Ha Ha said Johnny!&nbsp; but he was left in an Elf Suit so the Mad Hatter shouted After him!</P><P>He is to be hanged!&nbsp; Johnny fled tearing off his "dressing up clothes" as fast as he could</P><P>Alice was screaming and the Rabbit was…</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>…. spitting up blood...</P><P>"I'm not being hanged" said Johnny...."No"&nbsp; screamed Weird Santa..."get to The Naughty Step and clear it up"</P><P>His eyes flashed red again and Johnny wet himself in fright!!</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>As naked Johnny went back to TNS to clear up the mess, in the dark corner behind the tea party table, a ghost appeared.

"Think but don't tell. what you would like as a present"</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>The White Rabbit spun round and round, his red eyes now flashing on and off continuous until he EXPLODED</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>When the White Rabbit Exploded ~ it rained CHRISTMAS PRESENTS&nbsp;</P><P>All the gore and blood changed…. a miracle because Christmas is a Miracle.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>"EUGH" yelled The Mad Hatter and Tweedledum as they found themselves covered in Rabbit gore and Entrails</P><P>but then they saw the Christmas presents in a red sack…</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Oh I can`t think of presents" said Alice "I don`t know what happens to those who are nice. Look what happened to those who were naughty... The spider`s eyes were poked out, Johnny got covered in goo, the Elf got covered in soot, now the rabbit has exploded, Tweedledum and the Mad Hatter covered in entrails.</P><P>Will anything else happen to the Mad Hatter, he was so naughty with the Downing Street party?"</P><P>and then....</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>A mad bloke called Boris appeared, "It wasn't a party" he said..."it was a MEETING"</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="OcBoris.jpg" style="width: 399px;"><img src="https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/40202i20105EF96F88C470/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="OcBoris.jpg" alt="OcBoris.jpg" /></span></P><P>As Boris made a Priti good attempt to Truss up the celebrations, he let slip a stream of fake fake snow and snorted indiscriminately...</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>"A meeting ? A meeting ?" yelled Weird Santa, "Boris, Priti and Truss are all&nbsp;on my naughty list".</P><P>"Let`s hang Boris" shouted what was left of the White Rabbit...&nbsp;</P><P>"No" said Weird Santa "Boris keeps banging on about getting boost, let`s give him a boost. Anyone any ideas what boost we can give Boris?"</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Dress him up in a Santa suit and hang him up on the fir tree behind the table ha ha then we can twirl him round until he's giddy and Truss can give him a kick</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>"Roasting his nuts over an open fire" laughed the Mad Hatter.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>The tree bent under the weight of its new fairy. Quite a lot.</P><P>And the Gruff Fairy left the building to retrieve his Crown, making a clean breast of everything and having had a butcher's at the mayhem around the room... "Cold Turkey's no fun" he mumbled…</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Johnny, having cleaned up TNS [well, sort of made a half-hearted attempt], ascended the steps of TNS and saw Boris, the Gruff Fairy, about to try and leave. Johnny yelled "Oi. Boris. You are way more naughty than me, or anyone" and with that floored Boris with a rugby tackle and sat on him...&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Then a huge star lit up the whole place shone straight at Boris and a lightning bolt blew him off the tree he landed on the Christmas table</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>waking up the Dormouse in the tea pot.</P><P>Alice yelled at Boris "Where`s my brother Johnny? He was sitting on you..."</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>"Plenty of meat on here if we carve him up|" said Mad Hatter. Weird Santa's eyes flashed red joyfully....</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>The elf who was lurking around the presents and food said "oh Johnny he is under the table eating sweets"</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>While Weird Santa started sharpening a carving knife to carve up Boris,&nbsp;&nbsp;Alice looked under the table and saw Johnny stuffing his face with chocolates…</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>"Have we had our presents yet? I don't fancy eating any of Boris as he will be tough and horrible!" said Johnny…</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>"No presents" said Alice "but I know what I would really really love for Christmas"...&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Weird Santa appeared in front of them with two wrapped presents.</P><P>"This is for you Johnny" he said "and this is for you Alice" "Thank you Santa" they said together.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>What a pair of Crackers, indeed!</P><P>The door opened and Johnny and Alice ran out to meet their mum and dad.</P><P>"Oh lovely "said mum," what have you got Alice?"</P><P>Alice opened her parcel to find a lovely Cheshire Cat.
