Jennings was going to hurry to his table, but Mr Wilkins said, "Wait a minute, Jennings, or Father Christmas. We Father Christmases must say our greetings to all these people who have come here. So, let's do it together, shall we?"
"Yes, sir," said Jennings.
And the two Father Christmases said together, "A very merry Christmas to you all."
After a burst of applause Jennings took off his blanket and beard and sat down at the table to eat his cheese, tomatoes and cakes.
