The Elves and The Goodometer

 

It's time to find out whether you've been naughty or nice! With Christmas less than two weeks away, two cheeky elves have been sent to make some final additions to the naughty and nice lists... and it's no good trying to sweeten them up... placing your hand on their goodometer will tell them all they need to know! 

 

Pay them a visit in The Plaza from 10:30 onwards on both Friday and Saturday of The Christmas Meeting.
