Dear Santa
Please don't demote the poor elf I have it from a reliable source that he was the victim of a rampaging kangaroo who kept trying to stuff him in her pouch. I am sorry about the misleading information about his side trip to visit Jack and Skarpi I was getting the message second hand via a chinese resturant so something might have got lost in translation.

The parrot must have held onto the thimble really well cause it made it here in one piece though the postman informs me that they have a policy about not carrying wild birds. I told him he hadn't seen wild birds till he had seen LTS and Lady Penelope when deprived of chocolate or having eaten a haggis and cheese pannini.

Yours in best behaviour
Meg
