I think you must work just about as hard as my mom!
I bet Mrs Claus is the real boss and you just do the deliveries like the postman.
I promise I won't be afraid of you this year! Mom promised me your beard isn’t going to eat me.
I think you will be very happy to be giving me presents this year
Can you teach my baby sister to sleep at night? She's broken. Her belly button off switch isn't working.
Santa,what do you do if you get burnt going down a chimney? Do you wear fire-proof clothes or child-proof clothes?
Thanks for the presents last year. I love my fish tank, but the fish keep popping off! The snails are smashing it though!
Dont get stuck behined the fire the gas man left you a special magic hole. I saw it last time he came!
How do you eat all those cookies with out going to the bathroom? Could you answer my questions or are they unexplainable?
If a kid was extra naughty today and his pressies are already in the sleigh, I can take them if you want. :)
