    Is the reindeer in the first photo driving the car? Are the reindeer having to drive everywhere in case Air Traffic Control cause them trouble?

    Oh poor Lissa - what a day to work from home. I bet she's chewing the tabletop with rage at missing out on the beautiful reindeer. You are lucky to work in such an animal friendly environment.
    Please post more photos asap.
    Off to the theatre (work not play) but will be checking up on you all later - much, much, later...

    Is the bloke Father Christmas off duty? Looks to me they're off on a stag night somewhere. Note the mini cab.

    Just think about that opening line on the newsletter!

    Out of interest, where does one go to to get rindeer? Presumably, someone arranged for the reindeer to come to the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ (for Blue Peter? Top Gear?) so how do you go about getting the contact for that, apart from:

    Mr. S. Claus
    Reindeer Whisperer,
    Lapland,
    North Pole.

    Of course.

    Belinda (8) are "rindeer" very posh reindeer, I wonder?

    Looks like it will be Class 1 carrots this year with the turkey, then...

    ...having looked at the pictures it's clear that the Reindeer skin I bought in Norway nine years ago hasn't changed colour one bit...

    Incidentally, Reindeer meat is absolutely delicious.

    I wonder, are either of the two in the picture, for sale..?

    ...the subject of Reindeer leads me to Santa (the Deity I worship...) Anyway, I'm sure you all know the website below which is a US site that tracks Santa's progress around the world every year, using Spy satellites and super-fast fighter planes etc.
    Great fun. For Kids of all ages..!

    Piper (20),

    I've had a look but nothing's doing just now - does it only follow him on Christmas Eve? What time does he start? Why doesn't it follow his preparations just now?

    So many questions.

    Early Chablis today folks. Have friends coming for dinner so am home early cooking, frogging and drinking. Hurrah!

    What are the names of the reindeer and it's fawn (I assume that's the correct name in the case of reindeer)? Lissa would have got that info immediately (c.f. Vicky the goat etc).

    No, I think its more of a grey-brown, with bits of cream.

    Aunt Dahlia - very droll.

    I have set you a challenge at this week's beach!

    Yes, Aunt Dahlia - an awful lot can hang on an apostrophe, eh?
