Santa’s Underwear

It’s Christmas Eve and Santa is almost ready to head out on his annual trip. He’s polished his boots and shined his belt buckle. He’s had a healthy meal to give him the energy he needs to complete his task. He’s brushed his teeth, taken a bath, washed his hair, and has combed out his beard. All he needs to do now is to get dressed.

But when Santa opens his dresser drawer, something very important appears to be missing. Very important. In fact, he can’t get dressed without them.

Santa’s long, red, woolen undies are gone.

There’s no way this Santa is going commando — after all, it’s a long cold trip. But how will Santa solve his dilemma?
