After an exhausting Christmas, Santa and Mrs. Claus head for sunny Mistletoe Island, where they surf, golf, and learn the hula. They even start eating healthy. (No more cookies and milk!) Vacation is so much fun that Santa decides to retire, much to the reindeer and elves’ dismay. Can there be a Christmas without Santa—and can Santa be jolly without Christmas?
Just because I wear a red suit and make toys, everyone thinks I’m jolly. Oh, I’m happy when I’m making toys. But when I have to deliver them? Forget it. Sacks are getting bigger. Chimneys are getting smaller. And you never know what the weather will throw at you.
