<flips record on to the 'b' side - realises that it is I do like to be beside the "b" side>

<discards>

<queues up "dem bones>

<unknots ES by pulling loose ends>

<points to bones in time with records, silently lip syncing to record>

<adds sciatica to ES's medical record>

I like medical records but the only one I can think of is ?Maurast? Music lovers may hurl sprinlkle doughnuts at me but I remember hearing a piece named "The Operation".

Also heard today a version of 'BBBBblue Christmmas" sung by Porky Pig.

Better than Sinatra!

<thinks of several records named "Doctor Doctor" and decides they must be considered medical>

<thinks that as "Doctor & the Medics" did "Spirit in the Sky" it is as likely to be theological as medical>

<adds swiss rolls to the Treehouse Christmas sweet tray>

<takes down the shingle>

<reminds people to remember they're a Womble>

Dons free common Womble suit, attempts Wombling free on Common.

Fails.

Recalls not being Womble.

<dodges bedstead car driven by furry ES>

<Shakes fist at Womble hoon>

<Decides to go and take a nap in the undergrowth>

<Dons Orinoco paraphernalia>

<dodges jabberwocky>

<goes looking for trash left by silly Treehousers>

Having already donned Uncle Bulgaria costume realise that ES won't find a thing

Tries tantalising him with torn tinsel

<decides to take a break from counting quantum corners.>

<is relieved that the treehouse is ever different, but ever the same.>

<hoping that all who wander through here have had a lovely Christmas or whatever they choose to celebrate.>

<watching Speckles chew on the records sparks an idea - wondering if anyone will notice if I ask Speckles to find all of my medical records and eat them, and if that will cure me? If there is no record of there being anything wrong with my health, shouldn't that prove there isn't anything wrong? mmmm, I could make millions...>

<brings in stamp collection and begins adding to Speckles' decorations. everyone needs a silly frog stamp on the left foot!>

<Not entirely sure which religious festival is celebrated by dressing up as a large rodent and dancing around a highly decorated pachyderm - but joins in wholeheartedly so as not to offend>

<Worries that there seems to be very little to eat in the TH - despite the return of VM. Hope it isn't a fasting sort of festival, or worse, that we will have to eat the elephant.>

<nods towards mince pies>

<has marked them with an "S" so that everyone will realise that they are a seasonal treat>

<Oh no! It's the pies marked with an "S" for Spanish Inquisition>

<Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition to mark their pies with an "S">

<Is relieved to note that the Jabberwocky seems to have eaten the Spanish Inquisition as our revels are bound to have caused them some ideological problems>

<Wonders what sort of mince would result in SM inexplicably marking his Pies with an "s" - worries that it might be Speckles mince. Continues to be a little hungry.>

<refers Geg to the Season>

<wonders how big a pie it would be if filled with speckles, minced or otherwise>

<hopes that there will not be a need to label a super-sized pie>

During my journeys in infinity (and beyond) I found a pie marked "s" which I assumed meant succour so I ate it but unfortunately it didn't mean that at all.

<decides to go on a diet, post-season, and delivers to the TreeHouse all the cakes, pies, candy, and leftover turkey that has been abandoned in my kitchen>

<suspects that Speckles would not stay in a pie, especially if there was mince, so marking such a pie would be fruitless>

<marks fruitless pies with "s" for sour>

<wonders why mince pies are meatless but contain mincemeat while minced meat pies contain meat but no mincemeat>

<considers that if Vm's meat pies are sour they need to be marked with an "s" for suspect>

<Watches Speckles walk daintly away, dare I say mince, while keeping everyone in sight>
