Superman has it easy...try being Santa


Ever wonder what it takes for a mild mannered, ordinary guy to turn into a super-hero?  We’ve all seen what Batman goes through.  Takes  millions of dollars and the backing of a huge development corporation. Poor Spiderman, had to get bit by a radioactive brown recluse.  Superman was born that way and has it easy.  He wears a leotard under his clothes and strips in phone booths.  There’s one super hero who’s never had much documentation up till now, at least in how he transforms.  We all know him, we all love him….he’s……Santa Claus!  What’s this?  You don’t think Santa is a super hero?  He’s had to battle the weather (he does live at the North Pole, you know), Martians, Godzilla, and Billy Bob Thorton.  He gets all over the world in one night, eats tons of cookies, drinks truck loads of milk and still gets down chimneys.  If that ain’t superhero stuff, I don’t know what is.  Today, we go behind the scenes to see what it takes for the man in red to get prepared for the task.    First up, the Elves:
   
The Elves are the real heros that make it all possible.
And  of course every operation has a few  trainees or in this case….Elflettes:
Gotta have a planning session for any successful operation.
Construction begins:

And finally, the finished product:

Trust me folks…Superman has it easy.
