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 toon 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, u 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 door 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 vrienden about it.

As the weekend started, the Beatles, Rosie, and Nicholas got to work on the set lijst 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 of 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 lijst 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.

With preparations for their tour in full swing, the Beatles, Rosie, and Nicholas decided to go out for lunch and discuss what they plan to do in order for it to be a success. While waiting for their food, John wrote down a tour errands checklist. These include choosing which cities to perform in and the dates in which the tour will kick off and end, hiring a coach service and a ticket and concert poster agent, creating a set lijst of seven songs, and rehearsing in Abbey Road Studios. Rosie said, "This is going to be so much fun! We're really excited to go on tour with you, mates." John replied, "We are, too, love!" Paul added, "Certainly!" Everyone had a delicious lunch and took a relaxing afternoon walk around the neighborhood a few hours later. Then, they returned to the dorm and went to sleep early so that they'll have plenty of energy to start their errands tomorrow.
