All.

Good night!

[Santa and the children go off L. and the sleigh-bells jingle away into the distance.]

Queen. Quick! Let’s to work, my subjects dear!

And share the joy of spreading Christmas cheer!

[The gifts are taken from the bag by the Queen and Jack Frost, and distributed among the audience by Fairies and Elves. If this ending is not desired, the “Hail to Santa Claus” chorus may be repeated after Santa’s exit, to the accompaniment of his bells, and the play closed in this manner.]
