What about Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Cupid, Comet, Donner and Blitzen? They must be working with Rudolph; he can't deliver by himself. 🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌

Rudolph - he is a she!!!

(This is a lovely programme if you can find it on catch-up)

Elves are boys and always naughty.

Saw this on Facebook

Just Heard (It was in HarktheHerald) that Santa's elves are staging a strike in the days leading up to Christmas. Rudolph will NOT be striking so presents will still be delivered but UNRAPPED or still in original boxes or packaging. Parents/carers are therefor advised to leave out empty pillowcases or big supermarket bags, {Even duvet covers if a very large item is expected} clearly labelled with the name of the expectant recipients. It should be noted that this new method will also be eco friendly in that reams of paper will be saved and wrappers will be saved the frustrations of the annual battle with Sellotape. grin
