Away in a Hangar: A Christmas Special

About this episode

This episode tells the humorous story of a Pennsylvania Santa Claus and his chauffeur who ended up on the naughty list in 1983.

This short Christmas special tells the story of a Pennsylvania Santa Claus (and his chauffeur) who definitely ended up on the naughty list in 1983.
