As in previous years, I'm experiencing an effect somewhat like GSM frame-rate audio breakthrough in my auditory systems - completely different frequencies but equally wideband. I've noticed it occasionally in the past - always at this precise time of year. Sounds hard to describe but perhaps something like a tinkling of small bells, a scraping of hooves (perhaps akin to those of *Rangifer tarandus *and perhaps a distant, deep and resonant 'Ho ho ho'? I'm told that *NORAD * (North American Aerospace Defence command) have had possibly related issues and have implemented an official *NORAD tracking system * active specifically at this time of year. Any clues? For interest, Christmas lasts for 49 hours each year - and started in New Zealand 2 minutes ago. Regardless, merry Christmas.
