 I was walking on the beach one day, and much to my surprise...

 a piece of driftwood called to me, and looked me in the eye!

I saw a familiar face on it, and picked it up to see....
if that was really Santa, looking back at me.
As you can see he surely was, so home to work we went..
So you see that he's become that friendly jolly gent!
