Father Christmas is used to this icy weather and so felt very much at home visiting EP today.  He was careful not to land his sleigh on our solar panels on the roof. The children tested his knowledge of reindeer names – of course he knew them all, and they wanted to know how many elves he had. Apparently he has 450,000, so he didn’t have time to tell us what they are all called.

He kindly delivered presents to every classroom and left with a few carrots for the reindeers.  For grown-ups not in the know,  the children may tell you that they’re called Dasher , Prancer, Vixen ,Comet, Cupid , Donner , Blitzen and Rudolph. We hope that they didn’t leave a mess behind for Danny!
