Hi Boys & Girls,

Well it was quite a RACE yesterday between Rock Tock, Cuckoo, and Penelope the Penguin. The elfettes Twinkie and Dazzle were cheering from the edge of the lake as I jogged by. Cuckoo took the early lead and then Rock Tock pushed down on the edge of his sled like it was a skateboard and flew through the air to take a big lead. "Cowabunga, Dude!" Rock Tock said as he sailed over the Lake. Twinkie and Dazzle were cheering "Go, Penelope, go!" and that little cute penguin did a triple flip with a half-gainer and zipped by on her chubby belly between the two sleds and WON the Race!

"I wanna lobster croissant!" Penelope said after she won.

My, oh my. That little penguin sure can eat. Anyway, today my dear wife and the elves and elfettes are getting ready for our big New Year's Day Party. We are also having a fireworks display on New Year's Eve and we plan on singing lots of New Year's Eve Songs and eating treats such as North Pole Fudge, Candy Cane Cookies, and Caramel Clusters. Rock Tock and Cuckoo wanted to be in charge of the fireworks this year but I thought it best to assign that duty to Nimble because he is so careful. Besides, that will give Rock Tock and Cuckoo more time to spend with Twinkie and Dazzle.

I'll write more tomorrow,
