So here we present Mrs. Santa Claus with the story Yikes Santa Claus. Hello everyone. Hello, hello, hello. I am here with the storybook of Yikes Santa Claus. Yikes is something which is very dirty. But can you imagine Santa Claus being dirty and Yikes cheat? Just imagine, it's Christmas time and you have decorated your house and you're waiting for Santa Claus to come and suddenly instead of Santa Claus a thief enters your house dressed up like Santa Claus and instead of giving you presents he starts opening your presents. Wouldn't that be really funny? And he enters your kitchen and he eats all the yummy food that you have made for Christmas. Oh my God, what a Yikes Santa Claus that would be. So today I have with me the story of Yikes Santa Claus one such green dino Santa Claus. Ready to listen? Let's begin. So long time ago in the dino land in the land of dinosaurs one night on Christmas Eve Mama Dino told her little babies it's time to go to bed because Santa Claus is about to come and the little dino tots the little dino babies go when they went to sleep. But at midnight they heard some sound and it was not Santa, it was Yikes Santa Claus who was trying to get into the chimney. He was so fat that he got stuck in the chimney I'm stuck my hand is stuck in the chimney and his leg my leg is also stuck in the chimney and after struggling and pushing himself and oh he finally fell bum and came down the chimney and there he landed on his own bag and crushed everything that was inside, oh it hurts coming down the chimney is not a good idea and he was all black with the smoke of chimney and then that was Yikes Santa Claus who was all dirty and black when he landed down the chimney see how he's struggling getting into the chimney and then finally bum and he's all black and dirty with the smoke of chimney then he slowly goes towards the cute little Christmas tree that the dino babies had made and the dino babies also woke up and they went chasing Yikes Santa Claus to see where he was going and you know what he was doing Yikes Santa Claus he went to the Christmas tree and he started plucking all the ornaments and the Christmas tree lights and the decorations and he started plucking plucking plucking plucking he started eating them oh you don't eat the Christmas lights do you no no no no no but Yikes Santa Claus went on eating all the lights and decoration on the Christmas tree and then the dino babies were looking at him and thinking what's wrong with the Santa Claus Santas don't eat Christmas tree but what is wrong with this Santa funny Santa and what happens when you eat so much you burp um and Yikes Santa burped out a Christmas carol jingle bell jingle bell um jingle all the way um jingle bell um I think he just over ate and then he noticed the beautiful Christmas tree, Christmas gifts under the tree he got tempted to open them he said let me open and see what's inside the gift and he opened the first gift the little dino babies had packed beautiful underpants for daddy and Santa Yikes Santa Claus looked at those reindeer underpants and said wow they look so beautiful let me quickly wear them and he wore daddy's underpants imagine a Santa wearing underpants then he got a little more greedy and he went on opening the second gift and he took it in his hand and he opened it a pair of red high heel shoes for mama he got tempted to wear them as well so he wore daddy's underpants and below them he wore mama's high heel shoes and he looked really funny have you seen a Santa like this he's opening the gifts and then he wore daddy's underpants and he wore mama's partly shoes isn't he looking too funny and the little dino babies were worried what's wrong with the Santa Claus what is he doing that's when Santa Claus Yikes Santa Claus went and looked and took away all the paper crackers and he burst them and then he went into the kitchen and he ate all the food that was kept there he gobbled it down and after eating so much he went out of the house and when you overeat you eat a lot what happens he went outside the house and he did stinky foods everywhere oh chee chee chee daddy's stinky and the dino babies were now really thinking who the Santa is and they went running home to tell mama mama mama that Santa is horrible we don't want that Santa in our house mama came out with the dino babies to see the Santa and you know what Yikes Santa was doing he went into everybody's house and ate away all their food as well and at the end when there was no food left and he was still hungry he saw this huge Christmas tree outside which had an enormous star on top of it and he thought of eating that star he went climbing onto the Christmas tree and as he raised his hand and he was about to plug the star what happened crash he fell down and Yikes Santa closed and he was on the Christmas tree he too fell bum and the dino babies and their mama were looking at Yikes Santa closed and wondering who is he is he the real Santa Claus but that is when they heard a sound tian tian tian tian tian tian tian tian tian tian tian tian tian tian tian somebody's there in the sky who is that on a sleigh that's the real Santa Claus hey that's the real Santa Claus coming and everybody started cheering yeah we can see the real Santa Claus I hope he will help solve our problem. So they all started singing what? Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle all the way. La la la, la la la, la la la la. And real Santa Claus came and he looked at Yikes Santa Claus and got really angry. Who are you? And why have you dressed up like Santa Claus? You are troubling these little children? Yikes Santa Claus got nervous. I am just a dinosaur. I'm not a Santa Claus. And Yikes Santa Claus started crying. And he said, I'm really sorry Santa. I was just playing a prank. But I will go and make all the things fine again. So Yikes Santa Claus went back to the town cleaning all the dirty poos he had done. He repaired all the broken toys. He packed all the gifts that he had opened. And then he went helping real Santa Claus to deliver gifts to the little babies, cute little children like you. So see, that's how Yikes Santa Claus held real Santa Claus deliver all the gifts. And in the end Santa Claus was happy with him and said, come on my sleigh and I'll take you home for a cup of tea. But next year be careful and leave this job to me. So next year don't be Yikes Santa Claus again and leave this job to me. I'm better being a Santa Claus, not you. Did you like the story?
