Near disaster averted, you'll be relieved to hear. Two of the reindeer suffering from frostbitten antlers after doing some errands in Scotland, two more with hypothermia after visiting Yorkshire. You'd think they'd be used to cold weather, living here in the North Pole, but the UK seems to have beaten all records recently for shivering temperatures. But all is not lost - your package has been entrusted to the mail services, who seem confident of making a delivery (with any luck before December 25th), so you won't need to leave out refreshments in the traditional way but you should be assured of your goodies.
It goes without saying, my dear, that if your package should arrive well in advance of the right date you must wait patiently before opening it, or all might turn to dust and ashes as you watch.
Have a most merry and jolly Christmas tide!
