Re: Nightly Field Dispatch

Good morning, Maya and Leo!

I can’t take you to the North Pole, so I’m leaving you these instead. Each coupon is worth one wonderful thing. Use them whenever you miss me. They never expire, by order of Elf Field Operations.

Today’s mission: practise your best giggle. I’ll be listening.

P.S. If you hear tiny jingling tonight, that’s just me practising.

Filed in accordance with the Whimsy Act. Please keep in a safe and magical place.
