~~Murray's POV~~

"You have to believe me. That guy is Santa Claus" said Hamish.

"If that miserable kid hater is Santa Claus, I'm one of his reindeer" said Denise.

"I mean it! When I came out of the bathroom I made a wrong turn and..." Hamish began.

"See? Everyone makes wrong turns" I said.

"And I saw a really long list of names and addresses" said Hamish. 

"That's probably his address book. Old people write things down on paper" said Kate.

"I also saw a Santa hat" said Hamish. 

"So? Everyone has hats that were worn by famous people" said Justine.

"Fine. Then explain the plate of cookies and glass of milk. Who other than Santa has cookies and milk in his bathroom?" said Hamish.

"You" I said.

"Point taken. But that guy really is Santa" said Hamish.

"Who cares? Santa never gave me presents because I never won an ARIA" said Kate.

"I'm pretty sure he only gives presents to nice people" said Denise.

"You mean Santa holds me to a higher standard than everyone else?" said Kate.

"Look, mates. I'd love to believe that the real Santa is somewhere over that hill. But it isn't him" I said.

"Yeah. That old guy is just some loner who will probably have to describe in detail to detectives someday" said Justine.

As the rest of us turned to go, Hamish pulled Kate back.

"Kate. That IS Santa and tomorrow I'm going back to his cabin to get off his naughty list for good" said Hamish. 

"I'm coming with you to have a word with that elf lover. He owes me presents for 34 years worth of nice behavior" said Kate.
