December 28th

Dearest,

Sorry the calling birds were sent to your address. Mistake there. I thought I'd sent them elsewhere. They do NOT like French hens, so please keep them apart. You were supposed to have received four cheddar cheeses to use with the French hen eggs. Have you banged up your fingers, by the way, constructing the hens' nests? Please be careful not to, for I have a lovely surprise tomorrow.

Ding dong merrily on high am I,
Edward

I wonder what sweet Jacqueline thought about receiving those cheddar cheeses? Oh, dear...
