Synopsis: Silent film footage showcases young people employed by the postal service during Christmas in Slough, England.

Reality Cat: The school children are first shown sorting the letters and packages at the post office. A large group of kids then set off on bikes and on foot to deliver the Christmas mail. One girl approaches a door with an armful of mail and accidentally drops a bottle wrapped in brown paper on the ground, breaking it and spilling the contents. A quick shot of a tabby kitten lapping the spilled liquor follows.

Several quick shots of the kitten acting confused and silly (implying the cat got drunk on the liquor) are interspersed with sped up footage of the children delivering the mail.

Final Mewsings: Don’t let your cats get drunk on Christmas!
