This morning, the kids looked unsuccessfully for Tinkles. Finally, they found a note near Baby Elf in her cradle beside the Christmas tree…

The note told the children that if all went well, Tinkles may be somewhere unusual this morning as she was trying a different mode of travel today.

Tinkles' note "I'm heading off to teh North Pole now. I'm trying a different way to get back in the morning (I hope it works!) so I may be somewhere unexpected when you get up..."

The note from Tinkles was “I’m heading off to the North Pole now. I’m trying a different way to get back in the morning (I hope it works!) so I may be somewhere unexpected when you get up…”

Puzzled, the kids ate their breakfast and wondered where Tinkles could possibly be.  They realised Tinkles didn’t come via the chimney or Christmas tree, and suddenly thought more mundane and raced each other to the letterbox!

Poor Tinkles appeared to have got stuck in the flap of the letterbox, or maybe she didn’t like the idea of falling down into the letterbox? She was sitting there, and even had an address sticker on her lap. If Australia Post delivered her from the North Pole overnight, it was a quick trip!

Have you ever had an elf arrive by a different method? Or via Australia Post?

A different way to arrive!
