Santa Claus is Comin' to Town

He met them in town while delivering toys the first year.

They answered a "help wanted" ad he placed.

He was raised by an elf family.

They were already living at the North Pole when he arrived there.

He took a workshop at a local school.

He never learned; the elves make all the toys.

He was born with his toy making knowledge.

The elves taught him.

He thought it sounded cool and distinctive.

He learned to laugh this way from seals who were his playmates.

He liked the pirate expression, "Ho, ho, ho, and a bottle of rum".

He liked to say it because it rhymed with, "Snow, snow, snow!"

He realized that red was less likely to show dirt when he slid down chimneys.

Jessica (Mrs. Claus) liked him in red, and he always wanted to make her happy.

The Winter Warlock advised him to wear red so he'd be easily visible when flying in his sleigh.

Tanta Kringle made it for him the first time he went to deliver toys.

He thought using the chimneys would be less conspicuous than entering through the front door.

The Burgermeister ordered all home doors to be locked, so he had to use the chimneys to enter the houses.

Winter told him that entering through the chimney would add to his mystique.

He found that it was much more fun to slide down the chimney than simply walk in through the door.

To start a holiday tradition that could eventually spread around the world.

To reward the children for making such an effort to wash their stockings.

To prevent the Burgermeister from finding and confiscating the toys.

To limit the number of toys each child could receive, since so many more children were starting to send him letters.

They don't actually fly; the special shape of their antlers allows them to glide through the air.

They are special reindeer born with the ability to fly.

They can fly because they truly believe they can, but only on Christmas Eve.

They eat magic seed corn.

He grew it because Jessica (Mrs. Claus) thought it made him look more dignified.

He grew it to look different from his image on the Burgermeister's "Wanted" poster.

He grew it because it kept him warmer in his cold climate.

He grew it because the pictures he saw of the original St. Nicholas showed him with a full beard.

The children decorated a tree to please Santa when he came to leave toys.

Santa's animal friends decorated the tree to cheer him up.

Winter decorated the tree to brighten up his lonely life.

It was part of the decorations for Santa and Jessica's wedding.

It was the anniversary of his marriage to Jessica.

It was his birthday.

It was the only night Winter's magic would work.

It was the holiest night of the year.
