The great Santa down or 'Jingle Bell Rock' caper
It all began with the unearthing of a dusty, tattered file that had fallen down the back of a filing cabinet in the central records repository and had lain there, undiscovered, for 50 years.
As the clerk was picking up the file, a stained, tatty piece of paper fell out of the file and scrawled on it were these words;
“Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Santa’s on his way.
Reindeer poo might get you,
So be careful where you stray!”
His interest piqued he blew the dust from the seat of a broken chair that was in a dark corner of the basement, turned on a spider-web encrusted overhead light, sat down and began to read…
Top Secret mission – Operation Santa, December 3, 1917
------------------------------------------------------
A letter written to Santa by the High Command has been intercepted by our undercover elf that reveals that our foe has requested a special delivery to their front line troops in order to raise flagging morale.
Unfortunately our undercover elf has discovered that our enemy also has an undercover elf in Santa’s employ who has determined that we are aware of these plans.
We must make sure that we have 2 aircraft on standby on the evening of December 25 in order to intercept the sleigh and prevent delivery of any presents. It is assumed that our foe, knowing that we are aware of the letter, will provide an escort for Santa.
And so begins our scenario...
