The Story

It's the last day of the school term and the school plan to celebrate with a party. But the ghouls still want them to go. They're told it's the time of peace and goodwill but they don't listen.

Firstly, the school swap presents, but a head gets in the way and gives one of the students a shock. Next they head off to see the Christmas tree that was decorated earlier, but the ghouls have redecorated it with hangman's nooses.

Teacher insists they won't be scared off and they start playing party games. They start with Squeak Piggy Squeak, but a ghoul replaces the blindfolded person and tries to scare the class off. Teacher decides it's time for the Conga, and they dance right outside the door.

The ghouls are jubilant thinking they've scared them off at last, but the class jump back in a window. With the ghouls outside checking the class have gone, the class slam all the doors shut and lock the ghouls out so they can enjoy their Christmas party in peace.

Notes

The tree they decorated is in the grounds of the school.
The strip is decorated with holly.
