“Santa has a CCW?” the deputy replied. “Times are rough.”
“You got to protect yourself,” Santa said.

“Santa, slow your speed down,” the deputy said.
“It’s Nick, you know!” Mrs. Claus said from the passenger seat.
“I’ll get Rudolph on you!” Santa told the deputy.
The deputy then asked Santa for a photo. All three then wished one another a Merry Christmas.
