THE Christmastown Elves called a crisis meeting last night after it emerged Santa Claus deleted all the world’s letters to him by mistake. ‘Now how are we going to know what presents people are supposed to get?’ groaned Head Elf, Fred, in his squeaky Head Elf voice. ‘Christmas is ruined!’ Santa, a big fat man in a red suit, struggles with technology at the best of times and thinks a laptop is a mountain in Lapland. He is said to have dropped and broken the hard drive on which all the letters
