“It's a bit dark and gloomy around here. Isn't it Reg?"
"Not really, Percy. It's no different from usual."
"Exactly! And this is a special time of year, when the rest of the island
does look different from usual. All twinkly, and lovely, and magical.”
― Percy and Reg

The Perfect Gift is the twentieth episode of the eighteenth series.
