Santa Claus is a very mysterious man. He is a fat man that lives in the North Pole. He stays there for a majority of the year, watching over all the little boys and girls of the world. He makes sure that they are being good, and if they are they earn a spot on the very special "Nice List." But if they are a bad child, then they earn a spot on the infamous and dreaded "Naughty List." Once a year, Santa will make the legendary journey accross the world. In one single night, Santa will ride in his sleigh and deliver presents to the boys and girls on his nice list.
In order to get accross the world in a single night, Santa needs a very special transport system. He has a fleet of 9 rendeer. The list goes Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, and last but not least, Rudolph. These reindeer live in the north with Santa, and on Christmas Eve they will join Santa on his annual journey. Rudolph leads the other eight reindeer, using his bright red nose as a guide light whenever weather gets too perilous for them to continue normally.
The elves are Santa's main labor force. They work in the north pole year-round, building the gifts that go to all of the good boys and girls of the world. Without them, Santa would just be a large fat man, who lives alone with his wife, watching children. The worse path if you ask me.
