sound effects so I want you to help me

so here goes Christmas Eve and Father

Christmas was walking from his house to

the reindeer Stables to get all the

reindeers ready to take all the toys to

the boys and girls all over the world

and as he's walking across the

snow-covered field to the reindeers

tables

it's very very cold and the wind was

blowing a bit hard and we did some wind

noises more more noise

[Applause]

[Music]

wind was blowing so hard it was picking

up the snow in Little flurries I'm

blowing the snow in his face

[Applause]

that's it yeah on Father Christmas stuff

my word I didn't realize I had such bad

dandruff I'll sit down because there's

none of it coming up soon right well

then that was Father Christmas covered

in dandruff and snow and everything and

do you know what happened next boys and

girls it started to rain rain

Matthew

we haven't got any rain in fact we need

some rain the rain effect you've got the

rain effect you're in luck so he's gonna

rain

please

please oh I should have known that would

have happened

Father Christmas is on his way to the

reindeer stables and as he got close to

the Stables they could hear a strange

sound he could hear some sneezing

oh

what had happened was all the reindeers

had got the flu and Father Christmas was

very upset because they wouldn't be able

to deliver the toys to all the boys and

girls because it was Christmas Eve just

then on the roof he heard a strange

sound it was something slithering

slither.io

wonderful he went outside and do you

know what was up on the roof boys and

girls

what no no snakes no no snakes anything

else no plenty of snow

there was an ostrich on the roof

[Applause]

you know why I'm just not ignored

because the ostrich was wearing skis

Father Christmas said to the office what

have you done in my roof on the office

said I'm on my winter holidays I'm doing

a bit of skiing suddenly Father

Christmas Had a Brain Wave he waved to

his brain

flu the Oswald the ostrich said not off

whistle for me mates and they'll help

you as well right he whistled

and Over the Horizon came all these

ostriches on skis and in no time at all

that hits themselves up to the sl*ves

and they were pulling the sl*ves all

around the world so that the boys and

girls would get the toys on Christmas

Eve all the reindeers that were poorly

sick sat up in bed with hot water

bottles and gave the ostriches a round

of applause like this
