dont forget!
Don't forget to make the last thing you do tonight leaving some treats out for Santa and his very hard-working reindeers!
No chimney? no problem! he will use his magic key (he never looses it or lends it to anyone, to put your mind at ease).
Carrots or any veg for the reindeers and a mince pie and glass of milk, or something stronger, for the man himself should do the trick!
