Sometimes Santa falls behind in work, just like you and i, and he has to call in the reserves to help him get everything done and out in time for christmas. Max dons his knitted hat and scarf (presents from Santa's Mrs.) and harnesses his bear Chilli. Mrs. Claus made a pot of hot cocoa and put some in thermoses for all the helpers and Max has strapped his to Chilli by the bag of magic-gro tree seeds. Just one dropper of water on those puppies and voila! a full grown, entirely decorated chritmas tree in the living room. A little magic goes a long way. Better get on yours Max and Chilli.
