From the bottle:
"I suppose I should have seen it coming this time," growled old Claus. "Holiday ornaments mysteriously disapearing - turning up broken - reindeer falling from the sky inexplicably...and then of course, I discovered that tiny hands have been prying into that cask of wondeful new Double Ale I've got stashed down in the cellar. That's when I called in a specialist from the Elf Department. He just confirmed what I already suspected. We've got a rather seriouself problem here at the Pole.
