He’d have them delivered to the North Pole workshop The sugar content surely would make the elves hop! With samples a’plenty offered to Santa, He indulged too much and needed Mylanta! Errands checked off, and his to-do list complete, Santa Claus and his sleigh headed on down the street. Up, up and away, he hollered out to his team “I’ll be back on Christmas Eve,” he said with a gleam.
