Esteemed BOSS Santa,

I most humbly apologize for not responding much sooner to your latest communication. Let me wish you a very Happy Santa Lucia's Day in return, then. That's one of the "big days" in the Scandinavian countries and will be celebrated in two days' time, on 13th December with kids walking in procession and singing.

I shall be looking forward to your present, and I shall keep watching the skies - as best I can, the clouds are hanging very low today. And with little furry standing to attention nearby both eager and happy to help out with getting rid of any unwanted evidence.

I do my best to be good, esteemed BOSS, as always!

Reverent greetings,

Bente
