Transcript

Ah, ah, ah, don't turn that dial. This is the right station. If you want to hear about Jonathan Thomas and his Christmas on the moon. It was a cold winter's night. I shall never forget. Santa Claus came in and his feet were quite wet.

He sat down by the fire. He said, I'll get warm. Never before have I seen such a storm. Just then at the door, they came aloud and knocked. When I opened it up, I got such a shock. The wicked squibobleums came out of the night and kidnapped Santa Claus, but they had a good fight. They said, we will see there's no toys this year.

We hate all this nonsense about Christmas cheer. Well, Jonathan Thomas and the man in the moon have promised they'll find him and bring him back soon. Well, Jonathan Thomas is just a wee lad. He's doing his best and what trouble he's had.

But the worst of it is, there's a wicked old witch who rules our land called Rumpelstitch. She brews bad magic, but although she may scheme, she's dreadfully afraid of the fairy queen. But the good fairy queen knows a charm or two.

Whenever there's trouble she knows what to do. And not long ago, the Travelers Three met the little Elf King, who gave them a key. Now what do you think? It opened the door into a looking-glass land, and what is more?
