The Story

The strip starts with Belle dashing off to the school dinner hall. Later, the headmaster is also heading off over there with Mildred (I assume his assistant) to see how many children are having Christmas dinner. They see a massive queue coming from the school kitchen. On closer inspection boys are coming away from the hall looking really happy.

The headmaster asks what they thought, and the boys reply that it was very tasty. He asks if they thought it was the best Christmas Dinner yet. But they reveal they've not had any Christmas dinner.

Headmaster dashes around the hall to see why everyone is so happy and sees Belle giving away kisses under the mistletoe!

Notes

The kitchen is labelled as having a smell of Chestnut stuffing and roast potatoes dripping in butter.
