Ahoy, there, Barb'ry! This is yer Santa speakin'! I been scourin' the Seven Seas for the perfect booty for your stockin' this year, and been feedin' the reindeer extra goodies for the trip. They are planning for early take-off sometime this weekend, so swab yer decks and keep an eye on the crow's nest, for an air drop sometime later in the month!
What with the shrinkin' ice floes and the unsettled seas, it'll be a rough voyage but we've seen dirtier weather, so hang tight to yer sheets and make ready fer our arrival!
