Ever since Pacato was picked to help pull Santa's sleigh, and train for the big night, he didn't think that socializing with all of the other reindeer would be quite so... fattening. Maybe it was a case of hazing the new guy in hindsight, but it certainly didn't seem that way in the months he'd spent 'training'. Plenty of carb-loading, getting spoiled rotten by the elves, until tonight, when it was time for him to try squeezing into his flight harness... and found he might've put on enough weight to make the big man himself seem svelte. But with so many good boys and girls around the world waiting for Santa's team to race through the clouds, he'll have to hope that harness holds out, or the elves might be able to work something of a Christmas miracle in getting it to fit a bit more comfortably?
