Anita. Oh, we're going to have a real Christmas tree.
Santa Claus. Hello, who's this young person?
Jack Frost. This is Anita.
Santa Claus. And why isn't she sound asleep like the rest of the children?
Jack Frost. She's such a good little girl that I told her she could stay up with me and wait until you came.
Santa Claus (laughs). Oh, ho; so you've made a hit with my boy, Jack Frost, have you? Well, if that's the case, I guess you can stay.
Anita. But all of the children would like to see you, Santa Claus. See, they've prepared the candle and the wreath of holly and the star of Bethlehem all for you. There's Sergius and Tomasso and Hulda and Meeny and Hans and Yakob and Neelda and Ah Goo and Sano San and Mieze and the leetla Dutch twins, Klinker and Schwillie Willie Winkum. They've all been awfully good children. And Biddy Mary and Paddy Mike they brought the candle. They're good, too.
Santa Claus. Hurry, Jack, and fill up the shoes and stockings.
Jack Frost (filling them from the sack). Yes, daddy, I'm hurrying.
Santa Claus. It's just two minutes till Christmas morning. I've had a hard night's work and I think I'll just take a little vacation here in the steerage.
