Santa was already there despite it being Christmas Eve he had been there all day, just hanging out. He didn’t need to skateboard as he had a sleigh that was faster and could carry passengers and presents. So he just sat on the concrete and watched the children play.
The children were troubled. They had been told to watch out for men, on their own hanging about watching, so they called the police who were too busy and said that Santa was well-loved and they didn’t need to worry.
One of the brave girls asked Santa what he was doing and said he should be out doing his deliveries. He agreed but didn’t budge. So the girl went back to doing some quite showy offy tricks. Santa clapped obligingly which warmed everybody’s heart and made the atmosphere much better and jolly as you would expect.
Eventually Santa stood up tightened his belt and Rudolf knew him well enough to know that this meant it was time to go. So off they both went. The other children went home to leave mince pies and sherry out for Santa even though it would have been easier to give it to him before he left. Only the brave little girl stayed to show off some more.
To me.
