I’m not the real Santa – at least not the Santa you’re familiar with.

That Santa lives at the North Pole, with candy canes and silver hanging from every tree. He has funny elves who playfully jump around while they make bright, cheerful toys, and flying reindeer that whisk away a giant sleigh, majestically toppling over in colorful presents, ornaments, and candy.

That is Santa. One day out of the year.

But what does he do the other 364?

The Night Shift

Mrs. Claus is being a mite testy with me right now because a few minutes ago I accidentally told her the pea soup needed salt.

Guess I'm sleeping with the boys in the bunkhouse tonight!

I sure hope Lando is working the night shift...That is one loud, snorin' elf! And Albert and Sasha up all night, playing Risk.

If I had known elves were nocturnal, I never would have bought them from that elf trader in Latvia.
