The Case of the Fluffy Noses

“The story of a band of desperate fluffy nosed reindeer Christmas cards battling against the odds to make people’s Christmas a little brighter”.

Well that was the idea anyway. As I sit here writing there have been at least three recorded cases of these little fellas being held to ransom by the villains of our little tale (for the sake of argument we’ll call them the Post Office).

It does appear that once the ransom has been paid release of the captives is thankfully swift but we have advised all people targeted for a ransom demand that they should not negotiate with villains.

It is a difficult decision to abandon these brave little fellas to their fate but it is what they would want, their sacrifice will not be forgotten. It sad to think what will happen once the villains realise their demands are not being met (after say…3 weeks), we can only pray that the end is quick and painless.

There is brighter news though. At least five of the brave little chaps have so far managed to complete their mission and are sitting proud and tall amongst their less fluffy nosed kin.

It seems at the moment the villains are preying on small villages and some northern towns but the full extent of their movements has yet to be determined. In the meantime we are praying that the remaining souls out there manage to evade capture long enough to arrive at their destinations and put a smile on people faces.

Our thoughts and prayers are with them.

Update:
There were in the end only two confirmed ransom demands. Both came from the Burton-upon-Trent area.
