    About this ebook

    “I don’t believe it!” Santa cried. “It’s the first of December and you reindeer are all over weight. Crash diets and exercise programs for the lot of you or you’ll never get off the ground.”

    Santa and his reindeer are all overweight. If they don’t get fit and healthy, they’ll never make it around the world to deliver all the children’s presents.
    A fun story for kids from 6 to 60 - and above.
