Prologue

(Three Santas are sitting on lawn chairs in the snow. )

SANTA 1

They said they'd come back.

SANTA 2

They told me that, too.

SANTA 3

(grunt) Mmmmm.

SANTA 2

What'd you do?

SANTA 1

I suppose I wanted more than I should have.

SANTA 3

(grunt)Ahhhhhhh.

SANTA 2

Tricked you with the Reindeer, huh?

SANTA 1

Tell me about it. It all started one morning in December, just a few days before Christmas. I was in a park, reading the business section.

SANTA 3

(grunt)Uhhhhhhh.
