Ho Ho Ho Its Christmas

>Ho! Ho! Ho! It soon will be Christmas day. And I’ll be riding on my sleigh. I shall have Rudolph, oh yes I will. Just in case others are ill. Have you ever been ill on that day? With a cough or cold, I say. I hope you are well and ready, I pray. As I have been busy all night and day. When it’s night elsewhere it’s day. So we all work twenty-four hours that day. If it was not for mother Christmas I say. I would fall asleep in Rudolph’s hay. My elves will feed the other reindeers. As all do know their jobs, you hear. I mean, you all do as you are told! Well I hope you do, as that’s what I’ve been told! Of course, you will be fast asleep. I will know if you try to peep. So on that night close your eyes tight. And I can deliver your presents alright. Ho! Ho! Ho! That’s what I say. To my reindeers every day. I say to my elves, I do. If you were here, I’d say it to you. I hope you have been good this year! Tidy all your toys away each night. I hope on them, I don’t trip I say. But I can’t, if you tidy them away. Mince pies and a glass of milk, I’d like. And please, leave a carrot or slice of bread. These I save, then when back at Toyland with my sleigh. Feed them to the reindeers with their Hay. Ho! Ho! Ho! Signed The Christmas Fairy On behalf of Santa Claus.

At first I thought it was one of mine, how strange, it must have floated in the open window!!
