What was that? Did you hear something on the roof?

Grab your ray guns and holographic sheild projectors, it's a full on invasion of ...
Wait what do you mean Santa?
Coal you say, Hmm, and that is supposed to be disinsentive to storming the roof with ray guns blazing. I think the old man has slipped a cog, Coal is bloody good stuff.

I can make inks for cartography with it and we could use it in the bar-B-que when the power goes out again. Not to mention as fuel for a host of steam powered minion with which we can take over the world.

Mwah hah hah ha. Lets take the roof gents there is a holiday icon on the loose with a sack full of toys that can be used as parts on our engine of world domination, and a sack full of coal to fuel it. I can't eat the venison but the good doctor there might be able to figure out what all this flight bussiness is created with and at the very least give us the secret of one of them with the Phospherescent proboscis.

Hope you're all having a good holiday, and get all the coal you could wish for. Stay warm, stay safe and take care of yourselves.

(ps. provided that we don't loose power AGAIN, I'll try to write more tomorrow.
