It's Christmas Eve. Snow is falling and the tree / is lit. Larry has three yummy cookies for Santa. / But who's that at the door? It's not Santa, but a / bank robber wearing Santa's hat, then a savage / Norseman with Santa's belt. In the spirit of / Christmas, Larry offers them each a cookie. Then / a third visitor arrives...an IRS agent...on / Christmas Eve? Finally Santa tumbles down the / chimney and chases away both robber and Viking. / By then the agent has claimed the last cookie, / but not even this can stifle Larry's excitement / and joy. After all, it's Christmas! / This Keepsake Ornament recalls a scene from / "Oh Santa!"--the Silly Song that is included on / the popular VeggieTales(R) video The Toy that / Saved Christmas. / Sculpted by Kristina Kline / For decorative use only. Not for young children. / Concue a des fins decoratives seulement. / Ne convient pas aux jeunes enfants. / Handcrafted - Dated 2001
