Out For Delivery

Meanwhile Santa was busy making his rounds….

Picture
Picture
and enjoying some treats of his own. Many homes had put out cookies and milk for him He usually just took a few cookies and stuffed them in his pockets to enjoy later, because the last thing he needed was a sugar high, especially tonight, 
Picture
but occasionally when someone had put out something special, he’d take a short break and sit down to actually enjoy one or two. ​​​
Picture
And then off he'd go again....
Picture
Picture
He’d be as quiet as he could be, but sometimes he’d get caught by a child who had stayed awake all night waiting to see if there really was a Santa Claus. 
Picture
Then he’d stop and chat for a few minutes
Picture
 before tucking the child in and continuing on his way. 
Picture

As a result, it was a very long night, and it was starting to get light already, when there was just one more house on his list. Once he’d dropped off the gifts, he’d be done for another year …

the Morning After

​It was early Christmas morning when Santa got back to the North Pole.
Picture
Picture
He was totally exhausted … and had a splitting headache.
Picture
Narae had been waiting up for him....
Picture
 and helped him off with his coat.
Picture
Picture
He sat down and put his feet up... and Narae got him an ice pack.

the Clean Up Crew

Narae was about to offer her Grandfather a warm blanket 
Picture
Just as Winston and Willie came in. ​
Picture
The elves had been partying all night, and were still asleep.  ​Cinnamon never even made it to her bed, and was asleep in a chair.
Picture
But the place was a total dump. So, Willie and Winston had decided to get up early and clean up the place before Santa came home, 
Picture
but they were too late, he was already back.  ​​
Picture
Picture
Narae signalled to them to do it quietly, 
Picture
as Santa had a bad headache. ​​
Picture
Winston and Willie had brought brooms, and they started sweeping.
Picture
 "What a mess!" whispered Willie.
Picture
“Well, it was quite some party last night!” commented Winston.

Ringo

​Ringo was the first of the elves to wake up, and wanted to be helpful, so he started to clear the table by stacking all the dirty dishes.
Picture
Picture
Picture
 He noticed several slices of cake that looked like they hadn’t even been touched last night.  He hadn’t had breakfast yet, and the cake looked mighty tempting.
Picture
 So, he sat down and helped himself to some.
Picture
Snowball came over. He hadn’t had breakfast yet either.   “You want some too boy?” 
Picture
And he started offering Snowball all the plates that still had leftovers on them.
Picture
so he could lick them clean....
Picture

Almost Done

Willie and Winston were busy sweeping, cleaning up the mess on the floor,
Picture
 and Narae came over to help them for a bit. ​
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Ringo was concerned about Santa, so Narae went to check on her grandfather,
Picture
but his headache wasn't getting much better.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
"I think I'm getting way too old to pull these all-nighters!!" he sighed.
Picture
Cinnamon woke with a sore stomach.
"Me too!!" she groaned.
