Well, I suppose I'd better introduce myself first of all - I'm Gingerbread Glitter-Toes, and I've just completed my training at the Academy of Elfin Christmas Magic - and I qualified at Level 2 - Visiting Christmas Elf Inspector.
That's such great news, as I didn't want to be stuck at Level 1 - Toy Assistant - checking the paint on toy prams and trying to pull the wheels off of skateboards day after day. I know what you're thinking - playing with toys all day isn't the worst job in the world, but Santa is a bit of a slave driver, and he just doesn't appreciate my sense of humour - I mean what's wrong with the occasional fat Barbie or puny Ken doll? (Frankly my best joke ever was Moshi Monsters - have you seen them! It was meant to be a great big joke, but for some reason my mal-formed lumps of brightly painted plastic appear to have been quite a hit with the boys and girls, so Santa added them to his gift catalogue - I do chuckle to myself every time I see them on a little girl or boy's Christmas list!)
Anyway, as a Visiting Christmas Elf Inspector, I get to visit a home where boys or girls live, and check they are being good and report back to Santa. I arrive at the beginning of December, and stay right up until Christmas day! No-one in the house can see me,though, as I am a magic Elf. But they might find my door into their house and they might even notice evidence that I've been visiting! I bet I can play some great tricks during my visit - I'm sure that the boys and girls will appreciate my sense of humour far more grumpy old Santa does!
My first assignment plopped onto the mat in my toadstool today - I'll be visiting Tabitha and William Monk in Surrey. How exciting! I can't wait until December 1st, when my first job will be to deliver the scroll from Santa! I'd better pop off and check he's writing it!
