And Jason Leitch is the Grinch - this made me smile. The advice has been very clear all the way through the pandemic but it is good to have a tiny bit of humour introduced.

Good old Father Christmas and he works so hard with barely
A teabreak.
I regularly tell posters ( on Christmas threads) to buy their DGC The Father Christmas Letters by J R R Tolkein....a magical story for young and young-ish ( me!)? where FC writes detailed letters and drawings telling of the trials and tribulations of getting the presents made in his workshop.
The elves and his right hand man Polar Bear do constant battles with deadlines and the goblins.It’s a wonderful, thin, hardback book, the illustrations by Tolkein are very good and funny.

When we lived abroad, we had a penthouse flat. Father Christmas used the lift.
Christmas morning son used to open the front door and shout THANK YOU FATHER CHRISTMAS down the stairwell.smile

A good thing he's self-isolating in the sleigh.

It must be very draining though having to use up so much magic to send the presents to the kids in these days of central heating and no chimneys.

Yes Blue Sky but, the elves and other helpers are magic so the virus won't affect them, plus Lapland is so big, social distancing problem.
Reindeer definitely don't carry the virus. Father Christmas akna Santa works in isolation when delivering the goodies. Chimneys aren't risky work environments. It will all be fine
