Santa Claus, like all pilots, gets regular visits from the Federal Aviation Administration, and it was shortly before Christmas when the FAA examiner arrived.
In preparation, Santa had the elves wash the sled and bathe all the reindeer. Santa got his logbook out and made sure all his paperwork was in order.
The examiner walked slowly around the sled. He check the reindeer harnesses, the landing gear, and Rudolf’s nose. He painstakingly reviewed Santa’s weight and balance calculations for sled’s enormous payload.
Finally, they were ready for the checkride. Santa got in and fastened his seatbelt and shoulder harness and checked the compass. Then the examiner hopped in carrying, to Santa’s surprise, a shotgun.
“What’s that for?” asked Santa incredulously.
The examiner winked and said, “I’m not supposed to tell you this, but you’re gonna lose an engine on takeoff.”

It’s not wrong to feel glad, but in future Christmases you are on Santas Sh!t list!

At least Santa has fruitcake to eat.

I’d say that ol’ Santa could just take it easy. It’s all the kids waiting for toys who are going to be having “an even worse day”.

Santa’s version of ‘up the creek’.

And since then Santa was replaced with Amazon delivery, UPS, & Fedex. It was the last time the reindeer brought up unionization.

Maybe he’s just retiring and letting the reindeer go home to their families.

He’s way off course but being 18 days early is a bigger concern.

Christmas will be running a little late this year. The reindeer have to go get the spare sled and some pontoons.
