He flies over the mountains and through the treetops making an unbelievable number of stops, up over the peaks and off through the clouds, while caroling "Merry Christmas" to everyone out loud.

and the Voice said... "You honor Me on this sacred night, When you bathe the world in a forgiving light in remembrance of One whose holy birth has instilled the prayers for Peace on Earth. So, be pure in heart in all you do, and know that I am ever mindful, too, of what rewards your journey may bring, when a merciful hand relieves suffering. For I am with you in the air that you breathe, in a Spring's first rain, in the autumn leaves, in a sunrise, a sunset, an evening's demise, in the loss of a loved one, or a newborn's sigh. Know, too, that my love endures without end, as the binding warmth of a constant friend, for I am the keeper of inextinguishable stars, and indisputable Master of all that you are. So, spread your love and Christmas pleasures so that all might share in this season's treasures and know that my guidance and love will be with you this Christmas night as my Emissary."
