Santa Claus Page #2

And you sleep here?

Yes!

And this is where

I do my other work.

Yeah, they keep you busy, huh?

Well, I-I-I like it that way.

Sometimes I get so many ideas, I don't

know where to keep them in my head.

Um-- oh! Look.

A clock that wakes you up in the morning.

How about that? Ha?

That's not bad.

Aha!

A plate that whistles

when the food's too hot.

Ah?

Um-- oh!

Look, look, look.

I've got here a

complete syste-- uh--

what do we need

all these reindeer for?

Uh, you'll see.

This is a curious kind of place.

This is nothing now.

- Wait till you see how it gets during

season's greetings. - Season's greetings?

- Mm-hmm. You'll see.

- What's that?

Oh, look, sir.

Now he's having a bite.

- Ooh!

- Ooh!

- Hurray!

- Hoop-ah!

Maybe it's

the massive bulk of it.

I never did

an extra-large before.

No, the size is fine. Please

don't think I'm criticizing,

but green's just

not his color.

- What about, um--

- Brown!

Red.

Yes! Red!

Perfect!

Matches his cheeks...

And everything!

Whee!

Ah!

Hey!

- Oh. Well?

- Coming closer now. Not just yet!

Two more degrees

north by northwest--

now!

Ohh!

Ahh!

- Season's greeting's back!

- Season's greetings!

Season's greetings!

Season's greetings!

Southeast crosswind,

point right. Northwest--

are you nervous?

Me, nervous? No.

Oh!

You look...

Wonderful to me.

Uh, it does suit me,

doesn't it?

A handsome man looks good

in anything.

Oh, I'm so

proud of you.

Mm!

It's time, sir.

Oh.

- They're waiting.

He looks wonderful!

It's a perfect fit,

if I do say so myself.

The color, the style.. that outfit is

him, boys. I'm telling you. Just him.

The prophecy...

Has come to pass...

That there would

come to us...

A chosen one.

And that he, having

no child of his own,

would love all

children, everywhere.

And that he himself

would be...

An artisan,

and a craftsman,

and a skilled...

Maker of toys.

And now, chosen one,

come forward.

From this day on,

now and forever,

you will bring our gifts

to all the children...

In all the world.

And all this

to be done...

On Christmas Eve.

How can I do so much

in just one night?

Oh, yes.

Time travels with you;

that the night of the world

is a passage...

Of endless night

for you.

Mm. Until

your mission is done.

This is your legacy,

and your gift,

as is the gift

of flight.

Mm-hmm. Now.

All those within

the sound of my voice,

and all those on this

earth everywhere know...

That henceforth,

you will be called...

Santa claus.

Santa?

And now, everyone,

- merry Christmas!

- -Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas. Yes.

Come on.

Good boy.

Yo!

Faster! Faster!

Ho-ho-ho! Ha-ha-ha! Ho-ho-ho!

Come on, boys.

Come on!

Come on. Don't be afraid.

Come on.

This is it!

Come on!

Ho, ho, ho! Feel the wind

in your faces, boys.

Oh, come on, donner.

There's nothing to worry about.

It's only flying.

"Only flying"?

What am I saying?

All right, boys.

Bank to the right.

Steady!

That's the way!

Come on, boys.

That's my good boys.

Ho-ho-ho-ho!

Oh, more and more are learning to

write now, asking for what they want.

Reading and writing,

writing and reading.

Leave him alone! Don't!

Can't you see he hates it?

Let go! Leave him alone! Don't!

Leave him be!

You're hurting him.

Oh, l-let go!

Come back, you stupid animal!

Come back!

"I am sure he hurts

the poor little kitten,

"and when I cry,

he just laughs at me.

Yours sincerely,

miss Sarah foster."

You were quite right to bring

this to our attention, dooley.

That little boy

must not get a present.

No present for him? Every

child should get a present.

It's time

to change the rules.

You'll have folks saying that Santa claus

only rewards the good little boys and girls.

Isn't that

as it should be?

All right. Dooley,

make up a list...

Of who is naughty and nice.

Yes, sir!

And be careful.

I'll be checking it twice.

Christmas is

the best of days

who's the happy cause

ho, ho, ho!

It's our favorite person

mine and yours

Santa claus

Santa gives

to all of us

all he has to give

Santa really knows

the way to live

- live, live, live

thank you, Santa

thank you, Santa

when it snows

we know you're near

we want to

thank you, Santa

"'Twas the night

before Christmas,

"when all through the house,

not a creature was stirring,

not even a mouse."

What is it? It's a poem.

A poem about me.

Ooh. They say it's a big hit.

"He had a broad face,

and a little round belly,

that shook when he laughed

like a bowlful of jelly."

What?

Pardon?

Was that--

that last part.

- "He had a broad face--

- Yes. Go on.

"And a little round belly,

- "that shook when he laughed like a bowlful of..

- Jelly.

It's just a poem.

- Is that how they think I look?

- Well, you know. The cookies.

It's the cookies.

The cookies.

Ohh.

Acid.

Your soup's getting cold.

Welcome back, Santa.

Have a good trip?

What's this?

Oh, next year's schedule.

Oh, can't it wait

a few days?

He's just come home!

No!

Ooh.

I must have dozed off.

Darling,

why don't you get

an assistant, hmm?

- What? - I don't like to see

you pushing yourself like this.

- You're spreading yourself too thin.

- Who would want the job?

Two elves spring to mind. One of

them practically bounces to mind!

Oh, yes.

I'm supposed

to show you this.

What is it? Oh, something

patch thought up.

Look at that.

Isn't that a clever thing?

Time tumbles by

there's snow in the sky

- Isn't it beautiful?

- Yes, lovely.

- And here it is Christmas

- Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas to you.

Cold enough for you? Oh, it's warm in here.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas. God bless you, ma'am.

Merry Christmas.

Mer-ry Christmas!

Mer-ry Christmas!

God bless you, sir.

Mer-ry Christmas!

Mer-ry Christmas!

Mer-ry Christmas.

Mer-ry Christmas!

Mer-ry Christmas!

Thank you very much today.

Cornelia! Come away

from that window this instant.

You can hear the music perfectly well at

the table while you do your homework.

American history

sitting around half-done--

if you think

that your step-Uncle...

- Is going to stand for this--

- He never even looks at my report card.

- He probably doesn't even know

what grade I'm in. - Young lady,

you do just

as I tell you.

An assistant?

Your assistant?

Oh, w-w-with

all due respect,

I have ideas that'll

turn this place upside down.

That is not exactly

what I had in mind.

No, no. I'm talking modern

methods of production here!

I'm talking assembly line!

I'm talking wave of the future.

- I'm talking faster, quicker--

- And sloppier.

Puffy, the thing about me is

that I don't lack elf-assurance.

I'm not afraid to rock the sleigh!

Sir,

I have long admired your traditional

methods of manufacture.

I assure you that I will

give the same attention...

- To quality and detail--

- Boys, boys.

Don't give me campaign

promises, give me results.

The one who gets the job is the

one who does the job best.

How about this one?
