 NAUGHTY NORMAN.

WRITTEN BY DEREK BUCKHAM/VAL BUCKHAM/PETE BARCLAY/JIM GREENLEAF.

                                 Well Children I hope you have all heard of Santa’s Helpers, who work in The Santa Workshops who make toys for the Children. I have my Santa Look a likes, My Elves, and my Gnomes who all work very hard all year to make the toys for the Children.

                 I am going to tell you a story about Norman the Naughty Gnome. He was a naughty boy and used to play horrible tricks on everyone and he thought he was funny, but he was not, because all he did was upset people.

                One day he blackened Rudolphs Nose with Boot Polish and when we were test driving the New Sleigh one Foggy Night Rudolph couldn’t find his way home and the Sat Nav could not track him. Another time he set off the Fire Alarms in the Work Shops and stopped production of the toys. Oh he was such a Naughty Boy.

               He was always playing Naughty Tricks and one day I saw him put salt in the Sugar Jar. I thought OK! This Boy needs to be taught a lesson. I called a meeting with the Head Elfs. Gentlemen what we are going to do is to give Norman a shock and teach him a lesson. This is the plan.

                Santa then put him plan into Action. The buzzer rang for a Tea Break as usual at 10 ‘o’ Clock. Santa went to make his tea and as usual he put sugar in his Tea. As everyone was watching, Santa drank the Tea and in his best Acting he said AAAAAAARH my throat and collapsed to the Floor. The Head Elf then ran over to Santa and Shouted Quick call a Doctor, what a performance maybe Santa should be nominated for an Oscar. By then everyone had stopped work and came over to see Santa lying unconscious on the floor. He was just pretending and everyone knew, apart from Naughty Norman, who had put salt in the Sugar. Every time Norman looked away Santa opened his eyes and winked to his audience.

              The Doctor examined Santa and said unless we know what Santa has drank we can not do anything for him. Naughty Norman was watching. The Head Elf then Proclaimed there is nothing we can do we will have to CANCEL CHRISTMAS. He gave the Order, Stop production in the Work Shops and turn off the Christmas Lights. Send out the Message to the Rest of the World. CHRISTMAS IS CANCELLED by order of the Head Elf. CHRISTMAS IS CANCELLED.

              All the machines in the Work Shops were shut down, and then all the Christmas lights were turned off. The North Pole was in darkness. We’ve got a message from London said Communication Elf they have turned off their lights, so have Paris and now New York. All the Cities in the World are turning off their lights.

               Norman started to Panic he was devastated he pushed through the Crowd and hugged Santa who was lying on the floor. I’m sorry Santa it was me who put Salt in your Tea please forgive me. Norman was crying I promise from now on I will stop being Naughty I will be Nice I promise.

               The Doctor then said. Oh it’s Salt, now that I know, I know what I have to do, I will give Santa the Magic Medicine. Every body, please turn away said the Doctor. Every one turned away and heard, Ho Cough. Ho Cough Ho Cough. Santa is such a good actor.

               Right you can turn around now. When every body turned around Santa was standing there so Jolly and said Turn on the Christmas Lights Christmas is back on. Tell the World, but they did not need to because Communication Elf had not put out the message that Christmas was cancelled. He was also a good actor

              Norman had learned his lesson and since then he has been a good boy and every body knows him as Nice Norman.

               So Children it’s better to be Nice than to be Naughty, so on Christmas Morning instead of giving Mommy and Daddy one Kiss give them, Two.

MERRY CHRISTMAS SANTA.
