Santa's got a secret...


...sweatshop somewhere in the North Pole. A cold place where innocent elves do all the work for a whole planet's worth of hopeful kids. Present making never ends. And when it's present packing and delivering time, work safety codes aren't a priority. Elves aren't paid to begin with, so they can't look forward to overtime pay.
