What do you "assign" to the Shire?

[Lalwendë]

I assign having a nipper in the house at Christmas - it can only get better when I can start telling him about Father Christmas and how he much prefers a can of Guinness to a glass of sherry, how he won't leave any presents unless you keep your eyes closed tight shut all night and how the reindeer are powered by the magic of good girls and boys, so you need to be good to make sure the reindeers (sic) can get here...

...though I'm not looking forwards to being woken up at dawn and not being able to have a bacon sandwich before we open what Father Christmas has left...
