I like the idea of little winged Santy-spies! Wonderful, as always.

A bush confesses to providing refuge to red-breasted robin in domestic spy case. Even red-tailed hawks react angrily.

Dervala, that’s a wonderful story and very well told. The bit about the slimy, drippy stalactites in Santa’s cave is an especially nice touch. That and the bird spies. I always thought there was something a bit creepy about Santa.

Ah, I can tell you’re not my real conscience. My conscience is much meaner and whinier. But thank you for the kind words all the same.

My best friend from secondary school told me the germ of that story about her eldest son. It got me wondering why kids in Ireland are so much more consumed by the idea of Santa Claus than they are over here. One of the nice things about a tightly-bound society is that benign conspiracies work so much better. Of course, so do the malign ones.

Lovely story, Dervala! I’ve sent it to my kids to read.
