23rd December
So – last working day before the Christmas break and we have just received a bottle of sherry (yes – our policies on alcohol and prevention of bribery do permit us to accept this!) and a Christmas card from Mr SC. It said:
Thanks for all your help on this one. I spoke to RRNR and straightaway he agreed to Dasher coming back to work. Seems they had been great friends, having started in the transport team together a few centuries ago. Problem had only really occurred since Dasher’s promotion, when he got a bit too big for his hooves. All well now – Dasher is now back in line and the crew are all happy and looking forward to the big event tomorrow night – followed by a long period of annual leave.
Ho! Ho! Ho! and a very Merry Christmas one and all!
