Megan, my Dear,

If you want to call one of you new logders Snugglebutt after Secsy's elf, that's entirely up to you. You're in charge, never forget that! Did one of them come with a needle in his bottom?

Are you still watching the mail? I'm sorry to say that there's been a slight delay in the North Pole workshop. Do not worry, Dear, your final present is in the mail and will hopefully be winging its way to you as I type. In order to avoid more mishaps I designated the task of packing and sending your final present to a female elf this time. But I forgot to tell her not to delegate...!!

And guess what happened? She was feeling a bit off colour after one of the workshop pre Christmas parties and asked... you've probably guessed who... to take the parcel to the post office. And HE was busy counting the last of the peedie bits, so he just put the parcel on a shelf thinking he'd do it later. Then he forgot all about it. I'm sorry to say that your present sat for a few days on the shelf before someone noticed.

I'm truly sorry about this, Dear. It seems that this particular elf does nothing but mess things up. The parcel has been sent now, and I do hope that it will reach you in time for Christmas, but it's not an entirely sure thing. I hope you'll not be too disappointed if it doesn't reach you until after Christmas. Don't fret, it will get there eventually.

Said elf is now in charge of cleaning the goose pen out the back - with his tongue!!

MISS
