Me and some of the other elves went for a reindeer ride last night but it went badly wrong. Here's what happened:
Santa was out getting materials for making toys, you know, stuff like wood, cloth, paints, plastic and electronic components. While he was gone, we sneaked into the reindeer stable and offered them candy canes in exchange for a quick fly. Santa won't let the reindeer have any sweets because they refuse to brush their teeth so they were pretty easy to persuade. Me, Crumpet and Buttons-Twinkle -Toes climbed onto Comet, Donner and Cupid, we took hold of their antlers but they told us to hold on with our knees. Our knees!! are they mad?
Anyway, we held on with our arms around their necks and squeezing with our legs and off we went, first slowly along the ground, then faster and faster, the cold air rushed by us. We took off and were soon flying over the tops of the pine trees.
Wow this is fun. Then suddenly, the reindeer were spooked by a shooting star and banked steeply to the left. We weren´t ready for this and the force of it meant we lost our grip and slipped off. Down, down, down we fell and landed with a plop in a huge snow drift.
Then we had to dig our way out and tramp home through the deep snow which came up to the top of our heads. It took us hours. We were freezing by the time we got back to the house. We're not doing that again any time soon.
Lots of love from your elf
