I realise your name was sliced in two on my last missive, dear Vectis, and this may account for your silence so far as you may not have realised the message was for you.
I am still pondering what to send, but I have no doubt that the elves will, as usual, craft something utterly splendid for you.
In case you were wondering, a fine cognac will be most welcome, and a few Chantenay carrots for the reindeer. I'm doing my best to avoid the mince pies these days - or only eat one or two. Got to watch that waist line, don't you know.
