But where was the fairy to go on the topmost limb? She has taken quite a bit of finding and while I was looking, I found myself thinking back to a monologue I wrote in the 1980s for a Christmas concert on BBC Radio 2 in which Dora Bryan gave voice to the thoughts of a fairy on a Christmas Tree...
I think you might enjoy it...
PS: I did eventually find our fairy (except that she sports a halo as well as a wand, so she may actually be an angel in disguise) and she is now safely atop the tree – well as safe as it is possible to be up there...

Beautifully written and read!
That's a nice piece ! Thanks for putting that up Brian.
I've not heard that clip before, Brian - very enjoyable. Dora Bryan will be 90 yrs old in February.
I was performing at a Rotary Xmas party last week and, obviously feeling that whatever I had to offer would be insufficient for the evening, they 'performed' a very edited version of your own classic - 'And Yet Another Patridge in a Pear Tree'. Each of the 'Thank You's were read out by a different member of the club. It 'sort of' worked but was extremely well received by all.
