Well, my dear, the elves have been working very hard to find the best presents they can considering the constraints on the North Pole Exchequer this year. And a bundle of goodies is on its way to you, clearly identifiable by the words "A Secret Santa" on the outside of the package. Do not be taken in by the box, which was simply a convenient way of holding things together. If you wish to open one or two things before Christmas Day, that's between you and your conscience. I've called off the surveillance team - they're far more active now in the Palace of Westminster, dealing with all sorts of ruffians.
And a very Happy Christmas to you and yours ... ho, ho, ho! (now back to stroking my luxuriant white beard and snowy locks).
