– Ugh, arghh, ugh.

– Santa?

– They’re coming…

– Oh, no, no.

– Hello.

– Huh?

– Santa!

– Oh, I’m ever so sorry.

– I’m not Santa.

– Oh, this is for Alice. I know her.

– You, wha!

– Let me help you.

– Follow me!

– Wait, they’re mine.

– She’ll love it.

– Oh, and here is one from Gran. And one from Grandad.

– We’ve got loads more to deliver.

– This goes in here.

– Pop that under there.

– All right.

– This one went here, this one went there…

– Let’s take your sleigh.

– Sleigh?

– Giddy-up!

– Oooooh!

– Woo-hoo!

– Merry Christmas!

– Ha, ha, ha, ho, ho, hooo!

– Shh! Look!

– I’m super Alice!

– Oh, I almost forgot. Merry Christmas Mr. Claus.

– Oh, thank you, little bear.
