Calling Dave'sWife...

Santa is wondering if you are still speaking to him; he hasn't heard from you since he sent you that postcard. Is there something about Tarheel Pie that offended you? No, Santa's not Tarheel, in case you were worried.

Mrs. Claus made a simply smashing chess pie recently. All the elves enjoyed it. I might be able to prevail on her to share the recipe.

Packages are being assembled, here at the Pole. But some of the, errm, more exotic items have yet to matrialise. We hope to be timely, nonetheless.

Do you have any colour preferences beyond 'not orange'? Just wondering...

Yours in haste,
Silenus Charm, Santa's Crack Research Elf
