Well, it was finally time for Santa to leave, and Narae gave her grandfather a big hug....
Picture
Just like every other Christmas Eve, the workshop had been transformed into a party room, so the elves could celebrate another year well done....
Picture
'This year you'll have a special treat, since Winston here took over the kitchen...
Picture
'I know he's been working hard in the kitchen the past few days..."
Picture
'Anyway, it's time to go.  So, have fun everyone!  And I'll see you all again tomorrow."

"Here, I'll help you, and together we'll be done them in no time!"

Ringo was getting tired, but he was on the very last of the rocking horses.
​Just one more and he'd be done!
Picture
But then Effie came in with Santa.  "You're doing it wrong!!"
Picture
"These last two were supposed to be painted like zebras..."
Picture
"... Like this one..."
Picture
And here he thought that he was almost done!!
Picture
The elves at the nearby work table looked over with sympathy.....
Picture
"You're going to have to repaint that one you just did, and then do the last one like that too..."
