My elves and I have been very busy making toys at the North Pole this year. We’ve also been taking care of those famous reindeer, who are almost ready for their big night!
Don’t forget to leave me milk and cookies – it’s always a great snack after a long night in the sleigh. I’ll be stopping by your city on Christmas Eve once you’re fast asleep.
