Naturally Santa thinks Christmas is the best time of the year, because that’s when he sets off round the world with his sleigh full of presents. But Christmas comes but once a year, and sometimes it may seem an awfully long time to Christmas. Not to worry, however, because you can now enjoy instant Christmas at any time of the year and buy your Christmas presents at the tower shop in Santa’s Office. The elves at Santa Claus’ Main Post Office will then dispatch your parcels to any address in the world and at any time of the year.
You can also surprise friends at home or abroad by ordering a genuine greeting for them from Santa. The elves can write a letter for you in one of more than ten languages.
Saws a-swishing, hammers a-clattering, wood shavings flying and squealing drills: busy Christmas music direct from Santa’s secret workshop. The elves are very clever with their hands, and each is a master of his own particular craft. And when the Christmas season is at its height, everything in the workshop runs like clockwork. “Ho ho, elves,” calls Santa at regular intervals. “The Missis says the porridge is ready, so down tools and take a break for a while.”
For a moment there is silence in the workshop as the elves go tripping into the big dining hall to fill their tummies with the best porridge in the world. But never for a moment does the workshop forge stop roaring, and the tools on the benches hardly have time to grow cold. Well, maybe just while the elves have a little snooze. But in no time at all the workshop resounds to hammering and tapping again as the nimble-fingered elves turn out gift upon gift.
