Santa's Flying Lessons

Santa bought an aeroplane....

To get across the Chanel quicker on his way to Spain....

Although he liked his sleigh a lot...

It didn't always arrive on the dot !

He polished the wings...

And pumped up the tyres...

He fixed the engine...

Making sure there were no loose wires...

But he was hopeless...it was no good...

The 'plane didn't fly as smoothly as it should !

So Mrs Christmas got Santa lessons

To learn to fly and navigate...

She hoped he would avoid the garden gate..And that his delivery wouldn't be always late...

Santa turned up at the aerodrome...

His co-pilot was Gerome the gnome...

He put his helmet on...

His boots weighed a ton...

His flying suit was red and white...

Fur lined so he could be seen from a height...

The runway was lit by fairy lights...Mrs Christmas bought a ticket for one of his flights...

Before long, Santa was zooming along...

He took a left turn when the wind was strong...

Ended up getting all the presents wrong...

But he carried on flying singing his song..

Santa glided through the clouds...

Down below, he'd drawn large crowds...

From the airlift...he threw them all a gift...

Then landed in a deep snowdrift...

Everyone rushed to see what the fuss was about...

It took a while to dig Santa out...

But when they did...

Happy Christmas ! you could hear him shout !
