Sadly, I must report that the present which I had planned on presenting to you, Peter, has gone missing. :sad11:
What kind of miscreant would enter my garage and take only the reindeer antlers and red nose which I had stored on my workbench for safe keeping? :angry10: :angry9:
Unfortunately time is too short for me to replace it with another as the store where I bought it is all geared up for Halloween and won't have the antlers in again until next month. :sad3:

Try not to be too disheartened, Peter. I know how much you were looking forward to wearing them. :laughing8:
