On the Christmas when Santa fell into the pond, Santa took a slippy skinny dip, rather than a Christmas round the world trip. He hardly expected to spend Christmas with a frog, but he tripped when he sat down on a log in the fog. Before he knew it, he was in the bog ! His Wellignton boots had never squelched so much, as when Santa fell into muddy slutch. The swan, seeing Santa was ina a muddle, came to help him out of the puddle. He pulled so hard that when Santa flew out, so did an enormous trout ! That Christmas, Santa didn't expect to be wishing, for a fish and chip tea - caught fly fishing ! Instead of mistletoe, Santa decorated the house with pond weed ! Water drippe doff his nose ... "Atishoo !", he sneezed upon the crows. One by one, in the snow, Santa's trail of muddy footprints lead up the path to the grotto door. Furthermore, there was even a tadpole found on Mrs. Christmas's kitchen floor ! This year was the most swimming Christmas that the elves had ever had ... But Santa thought was really bad, was having to share his mince pies with a frog from the lillypad ! Santa had only gone to feed the ducks, when one of his feet became unstuck. "Ooops !", he cried as he landed with a "SPLASH !" and away a swan flew when he heard the "CRASH !".
