Ah, hello, it's Santa here at the North Pole in my brand new podcast studio.

Well, actually, it's douched a corner of the grotto, but I'm really excited to tell you that this December, I'll have a podcast every day in the run-up to Christmas.

Hey, Christmas, everyone!

Every day, I'll be telling you what the elves and reindeer have been up to.

Plus all our preparations for the big day.

There's so much to plan, and I've so much to tell you, and that's not all.

We'll have some exciting competitions, thanks to my friends at Fun Kids Radio,

and Santamori will be popping in to tell you more about the science of Christmas

He's very clever, you know

Oh, and I'd love to hear from you

Maybe you've got a question for me or you'd like to tell me your favorite Christmas joke

You can get in touch at funkidslive.com slash Santa. Don't worry if you forget that address, Santa Mori has put it in the podcast notes. Though, to be honest, I'm not sure what that means.

Actually, I've got a little joke for you now to get you in that festive spirit.

It's one of my favorites.

Are you ready?

What do you get if you cross Santa with a duck?

You get a Christmas quacker.

Quaker.

Well, I'd better get back to the workshop.
