Script. Santa's Working Day
Mrs Claus: Honey, how was Christmas Eve?

Santa: Terrible, dear! I can't find the words to describe it.

Mrs Claus: Why? What happened?

Santa: Oh, the elves didn't pack the gifts since the pixies didn't have glue. The deer also ran too slowly. I spent a lot of time preparing for the holiday!

Mrs Claus: You shouldn't have lowered the elves and pixies' New Year's bonuses. But you didn't listen to me!

Santa: Well, there is a crisis! And they forgot to feed the deer with magic hay and they didn't take off!

Mrs Claus: You should have fed them yourself last night.

Santa: Well, finally we took off. But there were a lot of clouds in the sky and I didn't see the North Star for navigation.

Mrs Claus: We live in 2021! Buy a navigator! Instead you bought leather sleigh seats.

Santa: Okay, listen up. In England, every house has a dog. I made a lot of noise while climbing into the chimney. I almost woke up the kids.

Mrs Claus: Oh, so your face is covered in scratches! Let me see.

Santa: It's all right. Every year it becomes more and more exhausting to deliver gifts.

Mrs Claus: You should have become a teacher like your father then you wouldn't have had to work at Christmas!
