Here's the last instalment of our festive articles trilogy, as it appeared in this afternoon's programme.
Happy reading - and, lest I forget nearer the time, Happy New Year!

Welcome back to EP, for our fourth home match inside a fortnight and final fixture of 2013.
On Boxing Day, I announced the first batch of County Heaven Award-results for this year just ending. And without further ado, here are the other winners - all voted for by fellow Heaveners:
Poster of the Year: Gazza, for his consistently entertaining spiel - and his ability to contribute to any discussion-topic going!
Thread of the Year: ‘The Random Club Thread’, for which my esteemed co-contributor tasked other Heaveners to research whatever they could into obscure footballing outfits from overseas.
Most Ridiculous Argument: Gazza again - sharing the spoils with DownUnderHatter, for... well, any one of their spats, really. (Fear not, though, they’re best buddies in real life!)
Most Memorable Moment: A tie between the forum’s Publication of the ‘CHAOS’ Book and our Sponsored Easter Saturday Walk to Macclesfield. Two very proud achievements for us, as a small community of County fans.
Funniest Heavener: Sandy, whose anecdotes - including many about life outside of football - have assumed Comedy Gold status!
Admin/Moderator of the Year: A three-way tie involving the Gazza/BigFudge New Website Development Team and... erm, Sandy and Maccy!
And finally...
County Heavener of the Year: And yet another dead heat! This time between the Gazza/BigFudge IT Dream Team and Last Year’s Winner (modesty forbids me...).
Many thanks to Fudgie for organising the competition. Happy New Year, everyone. And, provided that he’s not already away after-partying, heeeeeeeeere’s Sandy!

Thanks, Maccy!
Our regular readers, or frequent visitors to CH for that matter, will be aware that I am treating the three articles this week like the Star Wars trilogy – which means this is our Return of the Jedi effort, so don’t be surprised if it neatly ties everything together in a thrilling conclusion!
Sadly, today’s visitors Workington have badly let me down though as, having scoured their website for Star Wars related names, the best they can offer is a midfielder named Luke. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t expect their ‘keeper to be called Bob A. Fett or Jed Aye or anything like that, but I’d hoped for at least something to work with…
In Boxing Day’s programme, I gave you a mini-quiz to test those eggnog-soaked brain cells and it’s time for the answers:
1. Which Spanish striker joined Manchester City in June 2013? Jesus Navas
2. Which defender played for both Wimbledon and AFC Wimbledon? Roger Joseph
3. Where do Southampton play their home games? St Mary’s
4. Who are Lewis, Marlon and Ledley? The Three Kings!
5. Which striker returned to County in 1996 for a £120,000 fee? Brett Angell
As for the theme which connects them? You guessed it, it’s the Nativity! When I ran this past Maccy he shouted “Christ!” at me, so I can only assume he got all the answers.
Right, we’re running out of Space and approaching the End(or) so, assuming our very own Lando has managed to get the kits washed in time, we can now negotiate our final assault to restore balance (and points) to the table. My prediction? R2 – Obi Wan.
Oh, and if you’re sampling one of our extremely hot pies this afternoon, may the forks be with you.
Animo et Fide.
