🛠️ Day 46 — Midnight Sleigh Test Flight Gone Wrong
The North Pole is calling it an “equipment malfunction.” I’m calling it *a mess.* 🚨🦌
At exactly 12:07 a.m., Santa’s new turbo sleigh prototype took off for its first test flight — and returned six minutes later missing two bells, three bolts, and all dignity.
💥 The Launch Disaster
The sleigh overshot the runway, clipped the cocoa tower, and landed in Mrs. Claus’s herb garden. Witnesses say Rudolph screamed, “We’re off course!” while Blitzen yelled, “I told you the brakes were decorative!” Iconic last words.
🦌 Emotional Support Required
The reindeer have been excused from training “for emotional reasons.” Therapy sessions include peppermint aromatherapy and guided jingling. Prancer already wrote a tell-all called *“Too Fast, Too Festive.”*
🎅 Santa’s Explanation
Santa insists it was “just a small calibration issue.” Which is exactly what people say when their sleigh takes out half a greenhouse. The insurance elves have officially labeled him a “high-risk driver.” Again.
The good news? The sleigh *technically* flew. The bad news? So did Mrs. Claus’s entire collection of poinsettias. Christmas miracle? Depends who you ask. 🎄😬
