- Because we have to make toys for everybody
so there's one group making train sets,
there's another group that's making
funny looking pajamas and slippers.
- How big are the elves?

and some elves are almost as big as me.
- Is there any polar bears in the North Pole?
- Of course there's polar bears!
We have a polar bear named Freddie.
He's a nice polar bear, but Freddie thinks he can fly.
Every once while you look over he'll walk over,
he'll get on a berg and jump off,
go splat in the snow.
(laughter)
- So where do the penguins live?
- Well, we don't have penguins at the North Pole
because they're from the South Pole.

won't you lead my sleigh tonight? Yes!
- Have you ever crashed your sleigh?
- Oh, close. Many times.
One time we slid right off the end of the roof,
landed in a big snow bank.
- How fast can your sleigh cart go?
- Do you know that it can go fast enough
that we can go all the way around the world on Christmas Eve
in only 36 hours.
- How many houses do you go to?
- How many houses do I do to?
- Yeah.
- I go to everybody's house.
So that's millions and millions all around the world.

on Christmas Eve I think.

Have you ever been on the naughty list?
- No.
- Are you sure?
(giggle)
- Yes.
- Ho, ho, ho.

There might not be anyone to bring toys at Christmas.
