Speaker 1: Welcome to Santa Cast, a production of I Heart Radio. Well,
Speaker 1: hello there. Last night we left Santa on the ride
Speaker 1: of his life. When things were after most desperate, we
Speaker 1: called on you to believe, and you did. All around
Speaker 1: the world, you kids believed as hard as you could
Speaker 1: for all the good things that Santa represents, faith, hope,
Speaker 1: goodwill in peace. Now it's Christmas morning. How did it
Speaker 1: turn out? Let's drop back in at the North Pole
Speaker 1: where Santa's relaxing over a hot cup of cocoa with
Speaker 1: his two favorite elves, Snowball and Evergreen. Oh. Nothing beats
Speaker 1: a warm cup of hot chocolate after a trip around
Speaker 1: the world. Yeah, you said it, Santa. Did you know
Speaker 1: that last night you broke a record that was the
Speaker 1: fastest delivery in Christmas history. Nora ad couldn't even keep
Speaker 1: up with you. You were off the radar. As the
Speaker 1: kids say, are you too sure to have a lot
Speaker 1: of energy? That was quite a nice Well, the kids
Speaker 1: were pretty good about setting out cookies this year. That
Speaker 1: always picks me up. Oh, hey said, did you bring
Speaker 1: any cookies back for me? Oh? Of course I did.
Speaker 1: Uh here oatmeal cookies has a bite taken out of it.
Speaker 1: I'll take it that may have been mine. Um, chocolate
Speaker 1: chip cookies, sugar cookies, Girl Scout cookies, even a couple
Speaker 1: of fortune cookies. These have all been unwrapped, and you
Speaker 1: already took the fortune out of this one. You know what,
Speaker 1: I'll just eat the carrot. You know what picked me
Speaker 1: up all the comments we heard from the kids on
Speaker 1: this podcast. They really seem to know the true meaning
Speaker 1: of Christmas. Oh absolutely. I didn't think it was possible,
Speaker 1: but I really learned a lot about Christmas from these kids.
Speaker 1: This was a really great idea, I ever green. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we kind of came up with it together. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, little Nora losing her Christmas list and we
Speaker 1: got to help her and restore her Christmas spirit. That
Speaker 1: was fun. That was sweet little Freddie Rose. I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure she's going to be apolotip. But you know what
Speaker 1: stood out to me is that all these kids, no
Speaker 1: matter how little they were, they really understand the true
Speaker 1: meaning of Christmas, peace and kindness and love. They're sure
Speaker 1: we're awfully mature. I thought so too. Oh you know what, Santa,
Speaker 1: I almost forgot. Things got a little crazy last night,
Speaker 1: but we got a message through on the jingle jangle
Speaker 1: that I think you need to hear. O. Hi, Santa,
Speaker 1: I hope you're having in great Christmas morning. I just
Speaker 1: wanted to say thank you for the gifts. I know
Speaker 1: you came to my house because a glass of milk
Speaker 1: I left for you is empty this morning. Now I know, Yerie,
Speaker 1: what a great thing to say. Oh. This only shows
Speaker 1: how much of a difference it can make when someone
Speaker 1: believes in you, and when you believe in yourself, you
Speaker 1: can light up the world. There you have it. When
Speaker 1: all is sudden done, Santa had one of his best
Speaker 1: Christmas as ever. From talking to all of you, his
Speaker 1: faith in himself was restored. Santa had so much fun
Speaker 1: doing this podcast that he is already preparing for next Christmas,
Speaker 1: which is only three sixty four days away. And we
Speaker 1: can't wait to talk with you again on the next one.
