Wild Santa reads "The Night Before Christmas"

Here is what happens when Santa drinks too many cups of coffee before reading a story to the kids!
THE STORY: Santa is awoken by an elf and looks for a Christmas list written by Bobby from Philadelphia. He finds it amongst his bills and reads it aloud. He then reads "The Night Before Christmas" before wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!
THE REAL STORY: This was a project I started years ago to sell personalized Christmas videos to families. I wanted to play Santa a little over the top & wild, so it wouldn't be another boring video. In fact, I based my Santa on Billy Gilbert, a comedian who co-starred with Laurel & Hardy in "The Music Box". The project never really finalized and all that remains is this "pilot episode".
Taped: December 1993

That was one of the best things I've ever seen. Seriously.

(by the way, if this thing had really got off the ground, I bet you might have lost your voice after doing a few of those videos)

Thanks so much!! I was about knocked out after those 7 mins. My plan was to record the opening, the closing and the story only once and insert edit the child's name in the middle. But what if I got 100 orders? 500? In the days of analog VHS tape, it would have taken me forever to record and edit this small production. It would be more than one person could handle.
