Santa is Pouty
Every Christmas Eve, the citizens of the world eagerly await their visit from Santa in which he delivers gifts. As part of this tradition, the hosts will leave a few treats in gratitude of Santa and his efforts. For the reindeer, it is a bowl of milk and carrots usually. For Santa, it can vary from cookies and milk to his favourite, mince pies and a drink unattainable by the youth.
The Christmas deliveries are unsurprisingly stressful for Santa, but the treats he receives in each house make for an extra bit of motivation. If he had enough time, he would actually finish his treats. Elle is told that out of courtesy, Santa consumes as much of his treats as possible. However this act of kindness does have it's flaws. Without stating the obvious, Santa does struggle to fit up and down the chimney.
Elle decided to hold an intervention in Santa's office one day, regarding the matter. When Elle suggested Santa eats less of the mince pies, he definitely disliked the idea. Elle expected this, and confronted Santa as gently as possible about it.
'Hey, we're not saying not to have any! You'll still get your mince pies, just less of them.' Regardless, Santa started to sulk about it, in a manner ironically immature for someone hundreds of years old. 'Now don't pout your lips at me, this is for the best!'
Elle tried her best, but inevitably, Santa won the argument and so to this day will continue to eat as much of the mince pie as possible. Elle is considering joining him on his trips around the world to keep his dieting habits in check.
