Twas 6 days before Christmas when Santa heard a Ker-plunk! He rushed to the door, and found the ice cap had shrunk. "Can this get any worse?" He asked an elf who's named Sid, who just point to the sea and they saw that it did. Now what many folks know, well, a few anyway, is Santa's reindeer can't fly, unless tied to his sleigh. But the rest of the world, unaware of this plight, blissfully sleeps, as Christmas drifts out of sight.
Little children, don’t fear as the deer drift awayThough things don’t look promising for Christmas day…Have faith and believe; Cap’t Eddie’s close by.Between him and Paulie in the blink of an eyeThey’ll lasso that ice floe. bring Santa his deer,And get back to Flo’s for a Christmas eve beer.And another tale nobody will believe- except the elves who were there when it happened.
