With Nicholas smiling again, the group happily continued on with their plan. As they walked, they saw a band performing Christmas songs. They were so mesmerized by the melody that Ringo took out his trumpet and started playing along with them. This resulted in a very harmonious performance, and it even attracted a bigger crowd of those passing by. After the mini show ended, Nicholas remarked, "That was bloody marvelous! I'm feeling much better now. Thank you!" Ringo replied, "You're welcome! We're glad you're feeling better, mate." "I'm glad, too." Said Nicholas.

The following day, the six friends and the Beatles started their plan to help cheer Nicholas up. First, they decided to tackle the giant Christmas maze in Hyde Park. This maze was free to enter, and everyone had a blast walking around it. They also took plenty of photos with the festive displays and explored an ice hotel. Rosie remarked, "That was amazing, mates!" John replied, "It certainly is!" The group then proceeded to eat lunch at a nearby restaurant. As they ate, Nicholas started to smile again. The others smiled in return.

Kelly, I know that it is your birthday, and I thought about leaving an image on your fan club, but this year, I decided to do something a little different. I decided to write you an article instead.
From the day we started talking, you have been so kind to me. You've helped me learn to believe in myself, and I am forever grateful. You've never failed to show me kindness, and you're an example of the few good people who are still in this world.
You're a sweet person, Kelly, and I'm proud to call you my friend. Fanpop wouldn't be the same without you. You're everything a friend should be.
I can't believe you're already twenty-one. It seems like it was just yesterday when we started talking, and we were both seventeen. Come March, we will both be twenty-one. It just doesn't seem possible. Time really flies when you're having fun.
I hope your birthday is just as awesome as you are. Happy Birthday.
Love,
Antonia

The Christmas spirit is felt all over London once again, and the Beatles were getting ready to deliver their annual message on the twenty-fifth. After their radio show ended for the day, they decided to start recording it so that it will be ready. John said, "Let's include the announcement of our new tour in the message, mates. And Paul, you can be the one to open it this time." Paul replied, "Thank you, John. I know this is going to be another wonderful Christmas message." John responded, "You're welcome. It certainly will be." George added, "Indeed." "And I'll close it by playing my harmony trumpet." Chimed in Ringo. "Jolly good!" Exclaimed John. After about an hour, the lads finished recording the message. They then left the Broadcasting House and walked back to the dorm to tell their friends about it.

As the weekend started, the Beatles, Rosie, and Nicholas got to work on the set list for their tour. It was completed after thirty minutes. The songs that they chose were "I Want To Hold Your Hand", "Please Please Me", "All My Loving", "Eight Days A Week", "I'm Happy Just To Dance With You", "I Should Have Known Better", and "Twist And Shout". John then said, "I've got another great idea, mates. During the concerts, let's bring one or two fans from the audience onstage to sing with us!" Ringo replied, "Oh, how splendid! We'd love that." Rosie added, "Indeed!" George said, "Yes! Now that our set list is finished, I think it's time for us to start rehearsing in Abbey Road Studios." Paul replied, "That's right. We'll start with the first three songs for today. Then, we will continue with the last four on Sunday." "All righty." Responded the others. And so, the group brought their instruments and were on their way to the Studios for rehearsal.
