Oh, we have been so busy! And yet I doubt if even one bantam has stirred in the night. All is now fully prepared for you and gifts have been chosen with care. Now to wrap them and box them and hope that they arrive in good order...I am of course trusting to you to keep your standards of behaviour high, as I don't always get ready as promptly as this and there are still some weeks to go in which you might let yourself down badly.
I shall be posting one elf on permanent surveillance duties, just in case, with the magic potion to transform the contents of the box into dust and ashes, but I sincerely hope he won't need to use it. If you leave the occasional snack or beverage out for him he will, I'm sure, be very grateful.
Hohohohohohohoho .....
