Santa's Sleigh - A Christmas Story - Part II

Tweet

Here is part II of my story about Santa’s sleigh. “By thunder, heh heh, pardon the pun,” said Donner “I’ve got it. It’s just hit me like a bolt of Blitzen. Cupid and Comet can be the wheelers – or should that be runners? – whatever, Cupid and Comet can go at the rear. Then if Comet can’t contain himself, so to speak, no-one is behind him.” “Do you mind?” bellowed Santa, getting redder in the face. “You’re not the only characters in this farce. Who do you think comes behind the lot of you? It’s bad enough being downwind when you’re all….” He stopped himself. He didn’t want a full-scale strike and it WAS Christmas Eve. “What was that you said about goodwill, Santa?” simpered Vixen. Prancer tiptoed forward, coughed and whispered, “I think I’ve got a solution.” “Speak up for Heaven’s sake,” said Donner. “This is the best I can do,” croaked Prancer. “I think I sang too many carols. I seem to have lost my voice.” “Thank God for that,” said Vixen. Santa glared at her. Vixen tossed her head. “What if the dashboard of the sleigh was extended up higher so that Santa is shielded from any, er, ‘fallout’?” asked Prancer. Santa scratched his whiskers. ‘It would improve the view,” he mused. “Good idea, Prancer. I’ll get the elves on to it immediately. From now on, Santa’s sleigh will have a high front.” “Excuse me,” said Comet, swishing his tail and heading for the toilet. “Gotta go.” PS: Do you like the sign next to the wreath?
