the key to a great santa

we took liam and susanna to have brunch with santa at our club following church today. before he invited the kids onto his lap, he pulled out a keyring with three enormous brass keys on it, and explained to the kids what each key does. i found this all quite fascinating, and got his permission to share this information with all of you. the first key is his Chimney Expander. this temporarily enlarges each chimney so he can get himself and all the presents down. the chimney returns to its normal size after santa leaves. the second key is his Time Stopper. since 24 hours is certainly not long enough for one man to circle the globe delivering his loot, at some point on christmas eve santa inserts this key into his clock. time freezes, he gets his job done, and no one is the wiser. and the third key is, well, a key. to rudolph's barn. santa can't get very far without him!
