Summary: A preview of part of the Marylebone Monthly Illustrated bumper Christmas issue supplement.
Aladdin had new lamps for old, here we see new words for old.

As with gladness ferrets of old
Did the mince pies once behold
As did Mouselet scampering round
Find some pastry on the ground
So we’ll come and join the feast
From the tallest to the least 

And with Mr Holmes’ to serve
Crumbs we’ll gather up with verve
Dr Watson pours the wine
Time for us to come and dine
We’re all gathered round the table
Spotted, striped and lovely sable

So we celebrate in style
See the Sloth give us a smile
The Ocelot rejoices too
And Aemelia, all the crew
The Ferret’s eating more and more
Tasty treats in every paw

Till at last the feast is done
It’s all been eaten, every crumb
Holmes and Watson in their chairs
Can manage no more Yuletide fares
Nothing more but go to sleep
So leave us to our dreaming deep
