Such a pity that I was so ill last year that I wasn't able to go out doing the deliveries with the other Mother Christmases. Still, I'm much better now and things are already starting to get busy here in the Father Christmas Training School. We have quite a lot of new recruits to train, but happily, none of them are quite as large nor as difficult as Grumbo. Miss MacGrammar has been working very hard to brush up the FC's spelling and grammar as she hopes not to have to spend quite so much time wielding her red pen when it comes to them writing replies to all the letters. I'm afraid it may all be in vain though, as some of them are lost causes.
Tingle and Grumbo have been in their element with the arrival of so many new toys for testing, and of course, it has meant that they have been able to get away with skipping Miss MacGrammar's extra classes. Quite a lot of the FCs have become addicted to Pokemon Go and they are so busy wandering in and out of every nook and cranny that as a result they quite forget they have work to do! I even caught Rhodri pursuing one of the creatures into the reindeer stables yesterday.
We are expecting a visit from Alice who works at the Southern Training School, shortly, so I shall have to go and see that everything is ready for her. She is going to help us update our computer systems, but sometimes I think the old ways were best.
