Santa Diary - Dec 23

Last beard inspection before C-Day; looking good but a bit short, so Mama C wove in some extensions for the Full Santa effect, in case I am glimpsed. Don't like to disappoint.

Poindexter has set up a huge chartroom, plotted me a lowest-possible-energy itinerary using geostationary satellites, and switched all communication devices to the same frequency. He looked so happy and fulfilled. Did not have the heart to tell him he won't be able to contact me (something to do with timeshifts bending radio frequency) and anyway, me and the deer (and the STV) know this route with our eyes closed. And frequently do it that way.
