The Princess’s Christmas Speech


“Hi, my name is Lily. Golly-gosh, but Christmas is a busy time for a princess. We had a party in my Uncle Pete’s and Auntie Ciara’s house at the weekend, so I wore my special Christmas dress. Don’t I look lovely, Uncle Pete?”


“Auntie Fi came along too. Which was nice of her, because she lives in the South Pacific. I don’t know where that is, but I think it’s a long, long way away. I think it’s past Dublin!”


“Anyhoos, be quiet in the cheap seats, because it’s time for Lilyput’s Christmas Speech. Well, if the Queen and the Pope get to make a speech, why not a princess? Let me see, what should I say? Well, it was an annus mirabilis for me this year, because I was born, and that’s always good. I got lumbered with the Sillyputs, unfortunately, but then you can’t have everything, and I’ll be leaving home in another 18 years or so. Hurrah! In the meantime, I hope everyone has a lovely Christmas and a happy New Year, and don’t forget – keep booping around, folks! Merry Boopmas!”

Happy 1st Christmas, Lily and Sillyputs. You look like a little angel in your red dress.
