Merry Christmas!
17 December 2025 Reading time: 1 minute

Santa was tired, he woke up yawning
But no time to waste, Christmas Eve it was dawning
It was time to travel, he needed to fly
he went and saw Rudolph, the king of the sky
‘So Rudy’, he said, ‘I think we’re all done’
‘The presents are wrapped and on the sleigh my old son’
Just then his phone rang, who on earth could it be ?
He searched in his pocket so that he could see
It was his friends from Quove, the best firm in town
But what did they want, he thought with a frown
‘Hi Santa’ said Mole, as the caller was he
‘I need to ask about Rudolph’s pedigree?’
Santa thought for a while, ‘He’s a hybrid reindeer
‘With a shiny red nose and a lopsided ear’
A hybrid ! Mole’s advice made Santa unhappy
‘1.5 pence per mile, well that’s a bit crappy’
Mole did maths - over a million pounds
Was the cost of Santa’s delivery round
Santa got cross at this new tax
As he pondered what he knew of the facts
That like Tiny Tim in Christmas Carol
There is seasonal hunger, with some scraping the barrel
He wished that he was a hundred years younger
So he could get elected to solve world hunger
The Quove team sat down and started to brood
As to how they could help to provide food
We’re lucky they said, so why don’t we give thanks
By supporting one of the local food banks
we won’t send you gimmicks or a corporate card
But instead make a donation for those having it hard
And we’ll invite all our clients in for mince
Pies and moled wine
In return for a donation for those below the breadline
And on that note we’ll sign off -
“for Christmas good cheer, Every happiness to you, and a successful new year”
