Only a Few to See Santa Liftoff
Oh they just look like a small crowd. Wait til you hear the cheers though when the time comes. They will sound like the crowd at the Superbowl when they see Santa liftoff.

Reindeer Hitched to Sleigh
Santa, the sleigh and the reindeer are at this very moment in the sleigh barn getting things ready to launch. Santa is harnessing the reindeer one by one, gently talking to each one as he goes.

He likely won't stay there long, as the heat is hard on the…

Weather Still Slowing Things

Just getting things from the workshop to the…
