The Christmas Santa Spent In the Train Station

The Christmas that Santa spent in the train station was the busiest of all - he used his advent calendar, rather than the timetable on the wall ! His sleigh had broken down, somewhere on the other side of town. When the tyre burst - he had to find a way, to get back to the grotto, before it was Christmas Day. All the other gnomes on the station seemed in a considerable hurry, but luckily, Santa had a pass for first class - so he didn't need to worry. The radio buzzed, announcing the arrival of the next train ... so Santa loaded his sack onto the luggage rack and tried to rush to get out of the rain. Inside the carriage was much warmer, Santa enjoyed a cup of hot chocolate. It tasted a bit sugary, but he wolfed down the lot. The Christmas that Santa spent on the train station didn't look like being that great - he was left on the platform, sitting on a crate.
