Ah Mrs. Duck, your Santa thanks you. It is horribly cold here at the North Pole, and now I can burn the lumps of coal and bundle of birches I had planned to send you and thus be a bit less cold.

Your wish list is so modest, I should try to fill it to a T. But as this Northern clime does not support the growing of cocoa beans, and oils might freeze, I cannot promise anything.

Red is good; my colour too!

Happy Hallowe'en -- SS
