Mr Santa

Mr Santa, want to hear me play? Do the reindeer talk? And can I ride your sleigh?When a little girl comes face to face with Santa in her own house, she can hardly believe it! It’s her golden opportunity to ask him the questions – all the many questions! – that she’s been desperate to know... Can Santa eat clouds? Does he stop at traffic lights? Is his belly button innie or outie?With his signature warmth and visual humour, Jarvis channels the excitement and joy of every child who has dreamed of meeting the loveable guy who personifies the most magical night of the year.
