It's Christmastime again.

Pickle and Pearl have asked me (the 'guide') to 'pull a fast one' but being the honest person I am and this being the season of goodwill to all, I must 'come clean'. The reason for the 'fast one' was that P. & P. were not able to deliver the rap-scallions to the Christmas storytime in the library this year to see the Jolly Old Elf and for that reason I had to include last years Christmas picture instead of capturing a new one. However, the spirit is the same, the jollity is the same. The visitors suggested that if I didn't say anything about the old picture, nobody would notice, they may be right!
LITTLE FLY upon the branch/ I see you have the wit to blanch/ But don't be shy - my wrath is pent/ T'is the season to be lenient.
