Hammering away

Making toys

Painting them

With a special paint

Adding a wind-up key here

And a pull cord there

Creating special toys

For Santa to deliver

On Christmas Eve

Santa’s little helpers

Doing all the hard work

Living off of sugar

All to be done

Before Santa has to leave

On Christmas Eve

** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **

Building toys from scratch

Painting and designing each

The elves are busy

About the Creator

Mother Combs

Come near, sit a spell, and listen to tales of old as I sit and rock by my fire. I'll serve you some cocoa and cookies as I tell you of the time long gone by when your Greats-greats once lived.

    Crikey, I never thought of them living off sugar. Santa's got them all hyped up in the toy factory!
