All I want for the holidays is joy and Christmas cheer for all the children of the world!



What did Santa do before he was Santa?

"Well, he lived on a floating island and hunted sky whales, of course. And he was known as "Fisherman Nick" back then. Best sky whaler we ever had. It was a real shame when he packed off to give toys to kids, you know. Very nice of him to do that but he was a darn good whaler if I've ever seen one, old Nick. He used to give half of his rations to the kids back home. Guess there's no surprise that he left, is there!"

Do you think he let the fame get to his head?

"Nick? No, not a chance. He sure let it get to his belly though. But I mean, look at him, he's a Christmas icon and he's stuck true to his roots. He's still got the boots, the red coat, the beanie -"

You wore beanies back then?

"We hunted whales from a floating island, and that's the thing you pick up on?"

Right. I'm sorry.

"So, yeah, no, I don't think he's let it get to his head. He's still the old Nick I knew bay in the day. I'd like to see him try and hunt a whale at that size though! I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Nick, if you're reading this - I guess I should call you Santa now - we're proud of you. The kids haven't forgotten you. Make sure you come and visit us sometime. We might even have a place for you to park your sleigh."
