Santa in dialogue

So I am the most famous post man in the globe,the most international, the best person to deliver the goods and to think that I only travel around the world at Christmas time with my faithful team of rein deers and a big sack of gifts when everybody is also busy preparing to eat turkey or whatever.

Not the best time to go haring about, I know, in minus degree weather, knee high snow. Me, I tog up with 3 navy Scottish wool jumpers,fleece brown slacks, white fluffy moon boots with snow grippers and nibbles for my devoted rein deers.

I always check for air space clearance - but hey, its never a problem and I need to get all your presents delivered by Christmas Eve. It's a tight schedule as I have to decide which countries do I visit first. Don't ask me about when I touched down in a little village in Africa. It was pandemonium. The African kids went wild. They sang so sweetly to me and the chief did not want me leave. He was very jovial and gave me a big bear hug. I had to explain that I had to leave immediately. I had deadlines to meet. The sun was going down and I did not want to miss out on any key countries. He eventually let me go but not before giving me a little sack of gifts, just for me. How sweet of him!

I would not like to be going down a chimney on Christmas morning!! Imagine the embarressment. I would make headline news with the caption, "Father Christmas delivered Christmas presents on Christmas day. What is wrong with Father Christmas? Father Christmas is supposed to deliver presents on Christmas eve. News flashes will be buzzing around the world, even the prime minister will be complaining, "We cannot get the staff these days". A tear-jerking news flash will suddenly appear. Father Christmas brought tears to a six year old boy in Devon. Little Timothy was expecting his steam engine with the red flashing lights".

Thank you for asking about my hectic life style which I have considered giving up on a number of ocasions.

And now I must find a cosy bed and sleep because you won't be seeing me for another year!

Good night!
