Dear Santa,
Many thanks for your hints & tips, though I'll admit to being verrry confused! Questions running past my lonely brain cell are:

Was the Catter named as your Secret Secretary sending me a Red Herring (disinformation)or a Clue (helpful assistance) with "your SS lives where the seasons are at the same time of year as yours, but rain is rare and there are more cactuses than crocuses."???

Are you Kris or Kristina Kringle? (excellent news that there is a MudCatter partnership within the North Pole but would advise that a more balanced amount of keyboard time be arranged between both parties!)

Your comment of "crackers and cheese to go with that whine, we say around here". is something dear to our hearts here in the UK. I personally have established 'wine & whine' evenings & also fervently believe in 'port & cheese parties'. So many parties, so much music, always one more festival - but I too digress!!!

Oh how I hope you'll still get a chance to send me some more clues for my befuddled brain cell to have a look at before you get busy again after the weekend.

Seasons Greetings & Happy Hallow'een *smile*
