T'is the season

Now look at the reindeer. Hold the reindeer closer to your face. Turn it towards us. Now smile. C’mon, a bigger smile. Okay, not so big a smile. Let me fix your hair…your hat…your shirt. No, don't move. One more shot...okay, two more shots.” Here are some of the out-takes in no particular order:
