Below is a copy of an official memo that is being circulated amongst the elves in Toyland. This report has been leaked to us by a concerned "Santas Helper", who is concerned at the changes being made by the new Management Company recently appointed to undertake the day to day running of Christmas Time Ltd. Parents around the world should be prepared just in case this becomes policy.

OFFICIAL MEMORANDUM

Message from Management Board Christmas Time Limited.

Note - Level 1 SECURITY.

To all concerned with the day to day running of the company and its associated outlets, franchises and manufacturing divisions. As you may be aware the newly appointed Board of Directors has audited and assessed the company. This has highlighted a few concerns that we feel need to be addressed. The most important factor is the lack of access to some of the properties on our lists, and the ability to adequately complete the round on Christmas Eve. Your feedback is welcome as to the possibility of making Magic Keys compulsory, and anybody not in possession of either a key or a chimney having to reapply for inclusion on our list. Of course with the increased demand since the last list was compiled in 1846, we cannot guarantee a place. Your comments are welcome, and we ask you to consider the possibility of mass production of the keys should this policy be passed.

The Board.

Reply from Chief Elf

Before a decision is reached with regards to compulsory Magic Keys, I ask the Board to take into account the fact that with increased Toy production now at maximum we would not have adequate resources to produce enough Keys for the anticipated rush. We do have enough Keys in stock for about half the houses, meaning there will be a huge deficit. Please consider this when making your decision.

END.

SO, BE AWARE, IF THIS POLICY IS PASSED BY THE NEW BOARD THERE WILL NOT BE ENOUGH KEYS TO GO ROUND. GET YOURS NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.
