Ho, Ho, MemphisFred

[MemphisFred]

Ummm Santa, haven't seen hide nor hair of your elves yet. Just a heads up in case they went AWOL somewhere warm.

[Secret Santa]

Oh Fred, don't you worry -- Santa has dispatched a gift for you -- in fact, I'd be surprised if it hasn't already arrived. The missus -- who is an excellent baker -- which explains why me belly shakes like a bowl full of jelly -- has been planning on doing some baking, but she's been under the weather. Rather than risk this "reindeer flu" becoming a pandemic, alternative arrangements were made.

Ho, ho, ho -- Merry Christmas!

[MemphisFred]

Oh thank you Santa, I sure whatever Mrs. Claus is baking will be well worth the wait.
Merry Christmas!

[MemphisFred]

Thank you Santa, everything arrived in great shape. Looking forward to trying the great selection you sent once they're rested. And I hope I get to try the chocolate too, the wifey grabbed that and ran You know how it is with women & chocolate.
