How Santa Lost His Job
Description
Santa has the best job he can think of -- bringing presents each Christmas to children all around the world. Every year, he prepares for his trip by trimming his beard, taking a bath, getting dressed, and packing up his sleigh for the long night ahead. However, there are always a few unexpected delays that make things a little hectic. Muckle, one of the elves who helps Santa, thinks he can come up with a more efficient way of delivering the toys -- a method that won't involve Santa at all.
