(Or "Yule be glad!")

"WELL THE LAST TIME YOU REMEMBER, ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE HAD MANAGED TO WALK INTO A WINTER WONDERLAND! THEY'D BEEN SHIPPED ALL THE WAY TO THE NORTH POLE, AND BY HAPPENSTANCE DISCOVERED SANTA CLAUS' ICONIC WORKSHOP!"

("All I want for Christmas is You" by Mariah Carey plays in the background)

"C'mon, I'll give you guys a tour of the whole place!" The head elf, Peppermint cheerily spoke.

"ON THE TOUR, ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE WERE AMAZED AT THE WONDERS THAT SANTA'S WORKSHOP HAD TO OFFER…"

"This is where we keep the reindeer;" Peppermint spoke as he led Rocky and Bullwinkle down the stable area.

"Coool!" Bullwinkle exclaimed, gazing at all nine of Santa's reindeer along with Rocky.

"good boy..." Rocky spoke, gently holding out his hand towards Blitzen.

"BLITZEN THEN PROCEEDED TO START CHEWING ON ROCKY'S FLIGHT HELMET."

"HEY!" Rocky exclaimed, attempting to remove his hat. "That's not fooooood!!"

"PEPPERMINT WAS THANKFULLY ABLE TO DISLODGE ROCKY'S HAT FROM THE REINDEER'S MOUTH, AND THE TOUR CONTINUED..."

"This is our treat lab!" Peppermint happily extended his arms as he, Rocky and Bullwinkle entered the laboratory area. "It's where we test all sorts of Christmas candies, desserts, and other holiday food related items to make sure they are at the optimum level of JOLLY!"

"ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE LOOKED AROUND IN WONDERMENT AT THE AMOUNT OF ELVES PREPARING THE VARIOUS CHRISTMAS COOKIES, ROASTED TURKEY, HOLIDAY HAM, CANDIES, EVEN APPLE CIDER AND SPICED HOT TODDIES!"

"This is HEAVEN! C-can I--" Bullwinkle asked, weeping joyous tears.

"Go for it, moose!" Peppermint smiled. "We've scientifically engineered these Christmas food products to cater to ANY appetite of anything!"

"BULLWINKLE DEVOURED CUPCAKES, FROSTED CHRISTMAS COOKIES, AND EVEN FRUITCAKE WITHIN SECONDS! THEN, HE SEEMED PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN A SINGLE PEPPERMINT."

"So this is where th' magic happens!" Peppermint the Head Elf spoke, opening up the workshop.

"ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE AWED AT THE MASSIVE WORKSHOP—IT WAS FILLED TO THE BRIM WITH TOYS ON MULTIPLE CONVEYOR BELTS BEING PUT TOGETHER BY THOUSANDS OF ELVES. ANOTHER AREA OF THE WORKSHOP HAD ELVES SAFELY PACKAGING PUPPIES, KITTENS, AND VARIOUS OTHER ANIMALS. ONE AREA EVEN HAD A FEW ELVES TESTING THE LATEST IN HIGH-TECH VIDEO GAME TECHNOLOGY!"

"We work on toys and other presents for the good girls and boys around the world, round the clock, twenty-four/seven, with limited lunch/water/smoke/maternity/sick day/bathroom breaks…it's rough, but hey, it's made people smile for 2,000 years so it's worth it!" He awkwardly smiled.

"How d'you compete with Amazon and EBay?" Rocky inquired.

"PEPPERMINT MOVED IN CLOSER TO ROCKY AND SHIFTILY GAZED AROUND."

"Don't tell anyone," Peppermint whispered. "But d'you ever wonder how they get such great shipping anywhere you want, and same-day delivery?" He winked at Rocky, who immediately got it.

"Say Peppermint," Bullwinkle spoke. "Hate to interrupt, but aren't those polar bears and yetis you work with a little dangerous? This seems a bit questionable to me…"

"Oh no it's not dangerous at all!" Peppermint laughed.

"AS IF TO PROVE A POINT, ROCKY LOOKED AND NOTICED THAT A POLAR BEAR WAS RIGHT BEHIND HIM!"

"Hey how's it goin', Ted?" Peppermint gazed upward at the red scarf-clad polar bear.

"Oh doin' fantastic, man! Sorry, can't make it to your kid's hockey game…" The polar bear spoke in a surprisingly Midwestern United States accent.

"No prob, Ted!" Peppermint called back. "The season's not over yet!"

"SUDDENLY, OUT FROM ROCKY'S PERIPHERAL VISION, THE LITTLE SQUIRREL NOTICED BORIS AND NATASHA—THE TWO SPIES DUCKED INTO AN ELEVATOR LEADING TO THE SECOND FLOOR OF THE WORKSHOP,

"BULLWINKLE!" Rocky exclaimed, pointing at Boris and Natasha. "There they are!"

"ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE DASHED AFTER BORIS AND NATASHA, BUT THE ELEVATOR DOOR HAD ALREADY CLOSED. THINKING OF ANOTHER PLAN, BULLWINKLE PROCEEDED TO RAPIDLY PRESS THE BUTTON TO OPEN UP THE ELEVATOR DOOR."

"Come on, come ON!" The moose exclaimed. "AGH BUTTERBALLS! Why do these things haveta be so SLOW?! Gonna get carpal tunnel--"

"Wait, Bullwinkle!" Rocky exclaimed, noticing an open window. "Grab holda my tail, maybe we can still catch up to em'!"

"BULLWINKLE GRABBED ROCKY'S TAIL AND TOGETHER THE TWO FLEW OUT A WINDOW AND INTO THE UPPER STORY OF THE WORKSHOP. THANKFULLY THEY HAPPENED TO CATCH UP WITH BORIS AND NATASHA."

"And now ve SVITCH BAD LEEST VIT GEWD LEEST!" Natasha exclaimed, grabbing both naughty and nice lists, preparing to swap them from their extra-wide pedestals.

"STOP RIGHT THERE!" Bullwinkle exclaimed, kicking down the door. "YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS!"

"--Really?" Rocky replied. "You're going with THOSE lines?"

"hey I'm workin' with what I got here, Rock." Bullwinkle replied.

"HOLY MOLY! WILL ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE MAKE THIS A HAPPY HOLIDAY?! OR WILL BORIS AND NATASHA CAUSE THE GOOD KIDS O THE WORLD TO TRULY GET "NUTHIN' FOR CHRISTMAS"?! MAKE SURE TO BE WITH US AFTER THIS SHORT BREAK FOR "Joy to the Squirrel" OR "All the Jingle Ladies!"!"
