Only 22 sleeps to go….
Meoooooowwwwww goodness, what a differrrrrrrrrrence a week makes. Thanks to all your promise certificates the Elves have been given extrrrrrra energy to make toys. The Elf dens are so full with presents as a result that they are having to leave some sacks in the Toy Shop as there is no room left in the dens. They are now operating at speed 7.67 on the elfometer (which is the official elf work-rate scale as set by Santa Claus). In fact they have been moving so fast that Feanor had no time to wash his hands and has left tiny elf handprints on the walls at the entrance to the Toy Shop. Chief Elf Edrafil and I had a cat chat earlier this week as he was very concerned about the Elves being seen as they are now working throughout the day as well as the night. Together we came up with a cunning plan….On Tuesday evening I asked Gandi the Goose to request an audience with the Rabbit in Chief, Runny Babbit, as I desperately needed his help. He was understandably a little nervous but I assured him I would eat before we met. And so! we arranged to meet by THE Christmas Tree (you know the Very big, Very sparkly one) at full moon O’clock so we could discuss my plan. I needed him and his friends help with digging a series of tunnels under the farm which would make it much easier for the elves to move around in daylight without being seen. I have to say I was quietly impressed…. as by this morning they were all complete. The only sign that they exist is the tiny doors at the entrance to the tunnels….and this is the magic bit….the doors only open for the Elves!!!!! Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. The elves can now move happily around the farm at full speed.
p.s. Santa sent word via Edrafil that the Llamas are well adjusted to the inclement weather at the North Pole and are enjoying Mrs. Claus’s cooking!
Remember..BEhave!……..BE good!……….BE kind!……………BELIEVE!
