Hi there, Mary. I hope you have been good and not naughty, because it is too late now to go and get your pressie out of the sleigh. It's right at the bottom under a mountain of other pressies so the elves have told me that there can be no going back on naughty/nice decisions at this late stage.

They're getting too naughty for their own good. Next thing you know they will be joining the Union. Just see if they like it if I put them on the naughty list and all they get is a lump of coal in their Christmas stockings.

Well, I suppose they have been working hard helping me to find the right presents for you so I should cut them a bit of slack.

Don't worry if you don't get it for a week or two. We have a lot of presents to deliver and the route has been worked out very strictly by the reindeer. They might get coal too, if they don't behave.

Your Secret Santa
