Ms FCat,

It appears the reindeer got caught in a roundabout and vortex traffic kept them stuck running in circles for days - in fact, eight days to travel to the hub from which hopefully the parcel will be swiftly launched. (Reindeer don't do math - as long as they were able to grab a bite along the way they weren't concerned about the duration). A GPS ping confirms they finally reached the Northpole Warehouses™ yesterday. From there, a very fast walrus is supposed to propel a barge of items downstream to a port from where a blue whale will escort the barge across the pond. I am assured that we are dealing with each a very fine and magical walrus and whale. (Salt water spray will not harm the parcel.)

Santa may have been visiting the Mudcat Tavern a bit too often lately. . .
