25 Santa Expressions | Day 13

Santa is Pleased


Given that Santa drives a sleigh that is pulled by several flying reindeer, you wouldn't expect him to drive cars. But you haven't been to the Norh Pole yourself, you wouldn't know there actually are roads there where the elves live. Keeping the roads clear is a job with a high employment rate, though not as much as to work for Santa.

For the past years Santa had been using a van that was reminiscent of the late sixties. It had orange and white paintwork, plenty of space and was even bearing the peace sign. However this vehicle was on it's way out, lately it had given Santa a lot of trouble to the point where he would barely use it anymore. After it's final M.O.T. Santa was finally convinced to give up the van and move on to a new vehicle.

It just so happens that in the past year, Santa had done a deal with a car company in which he was the spokesperson advertising their cars, there wasn't much else to it.  Santa got into contact with the car company and they were honoured to give him one of their models. Santa was promised something spectacular and he couldn't wait.

Soon the day arrived and Elle was sent to pick up the car. It took a while since Elle had to ask around for a booster seat, she had forgotten to bring one. Santa waited impatiently for his car to arrive, unaware of the delay. Eventually the wait was over and the car pulled up alongside Santa.

Santa was delighted with his car and got in the passenger seat straight away. 'So what do you think Santa?' Santa patted the door of his new car and boldly made his declaration.

'This is one nifty sleigh!' All of the elves were happy. Elle was quite proud of herself for brining the prize, she sat smugly on the bonnet of the car while the elves were cheering. 'And Any damage done to this car by elves sitting on it will be coming out of their salaries!' Elle promptly got off the bonnet.
