Hello and I'm Rob.

I'm Rob. Happy Christmas everyone and to you, Fay Fay Oh thanks but you know what Rob I don't feel very festive

festive look I'm wearing my Christmas jumper we've got minced pies and yeah I think it's snowing outside.

That's not snow. It's rain Rob. But I just think there is something missing, something that would make us feel more

Christmassy. Oh, um presents? Not presents. Christmas crackers? No it's not those. I

know what's missing. It's people. We need more people to make it feel like a Christmas party.

Oh, what's wrong with just me?

You're okay Rob, but you know what they say? The more the merrier.

Right, you mean the situation or occasion would be better or more enjoyable

if lots of people joined in.

Hmm, more people equals more fun.

Exactly.

Okay, well I'll try to find some people for you, Faye,

while you enjoy some examples. Is it okay if I bring some of my friends to the party tonight?

Of course it is, the more the merrier.

Why don't you come skiing with us? We've got... The More the Marrier. The More the Merrier.

We've got room in the car.
