Nothing is impossible for Father Christmas.

That’s easy. I bring it down in pieces. You have to put it together in the morning.

You take it apart, then put it back together.

Let the air out of the tires.

“More to the point, now you know why I hand out so many socks. Although I had intended to surprise you.”

It’s in his sleigh. Then it’s by the tree. No transition. It’s just there.

I recall worrying how he’d get past the new gas fire we had – it replaced an enclosed coal fire with a small door I wouldn’t have been able to get through at the time, let alone someone who’d consumed all those mince pies.

He brings two 5 speed bikes and assembles them by the tree.

The speed comes in a separate box.

“You and me both, kid.”

“Don’t worry about it. You’re not getting a 10-speed bike.”

It’s an inside job.

If I tell you, I’ll have to kill you! HA HA HA errr HO HO HO

That reminds me. I have to break out my own sleigh. I ride it up and down the streets on Christmas morning with a big bag full of batteries.

Enjoy the family and the day tomorrow. :} )=

Santa’s bag was made on Gallifrey.

" It ain’t easy kid, it ain’t easy. "

I would be happy with a single speed … a Schwinn Black Phantom

I wonder the same thing about Corvettes…

Years ago I worked as manager in a department store toy department. A lady came with a tricycle not set up properly. I asked how I could help. She said my husband said you should take this wreck and stick it up your -ss. I replied tell him I am sorry but I already have an erector set up there!

I don’t…I have the elves bring it in through the front door while you’re sleeping!

Merry Christmas!!!

I leave those jobs to my partner St.Nicholas ……Happy Hogswatch everyone!

Christmas Magic! And help from Mom and Dad!

Magic, Virginia!!! Santa’s eyesight is failing…

“They’re freeze dried. Add a drop of water and wa-lah.”

“Mommy, why was Daddy swearing so loud in the middle of the night?”

" Well, son, a couple of Santa’s gifts required ‘some assembly’…"

Magic!

“3D printers come in mighty handy for making them on the spot!!”

Magic. I use lots of magic kid…..

In low gear?
