Serves you right for confusing everybody else, Liz! Mwahahahaha!!!!!!

Esteemed BOSS Santa,

A nice parcel was delivered here the other day. I'm sorry I have been slow in acknowledging receipt, but things have been a bit heated here what with my mother going into hospital and I myself having a few pieces of Christmas mail to get underway - including one going to the US of A which may or may not make it in time for the day - but hopefully may make it before May, at any rate..

Now, as for your esteemed communication, I opened the box as allowed, and all sorts of nice goodies started falling out, little stars and snowflakes, golden coins of the chocolate variety and even a real Danish coin.. Hmm... I've been a good girl and only opened the items specified. A nice Christmas bear cross stitch kit and a kit for making my very own pompom Christmas pet. More hmmm... The sender had gone to great trouble not to put any return address, but someone - a diligent postal elf, maybe? - had put the number 82 and another number consisting of 3 letters and 3 numbers on the back of the package. That was interesting, because you see, esteemed BOSS Santa, last year I sent off a wee pressie to an address in the London area that contained exactly those numbers and letters - and in the exact same sequence. Even more hmmm..

I showed Little Furry the two presents with his name on them, and he immediately made a bid for the blue one. If I hadn't removed it from his immediate vicinity, he'd have performed the unravelling ceremony then and there, and he was most annoyed to be denied the privilege. But he'll have to wait just like I have to, because unlike some that I know, I *can* keep my fingers to myself until The Day ;o))

I do wonder, esteemed BOSS Santa, if a couple of tables have been turned this year?? I shall reserve judgement for now, but I do have my suspicions :-)

Reverent greetings,

Bente
