Ho ho ho! This was pretty much bound to happen, wasn't it?

As the only wombat in town with the engineering chops to design an actual flying sleigh, what better way to drum up positive publicity for my brand— I mean, spread Christmas cheer than scheduling some special deliveries?

(I'll just hit up some select neighborhoods and knock on the front doors. Fitting down chimneys can't be done without fixing the Shrinkotron, and achieving the necessary time dilation to visit all the children of the world in one night would require building a G-nucleator that might collapse the planet into a black hole. While that would be interesting to witness, I'd lose all my customers.)

There remains a tiny problem: to credibly operate a flying sleigh, Santa needs flying reindeer.

Well, I know a reindeer, albeit of the conventional, ground-bound variety. And while I appreciate Sully's optimism that the propulsion pack won't tear the poor fellow apart and incinerate the both of us, I'm beginning to have my doubts.

Resurrecting a 2022-era idea: that the cast are all the unwitting members of a forgotten 90s-era animated series. And every holiday episode needs a villain who's out to ruin Christmas.
