Once upon a time, Santa was getting ready for Christmas. He was packing presents in his sleigh and everything seemed to be going well, until he noticed that his elves were making wreaths instead of wrapping presents.

He asked, "What are you doing?" The elves replied, "We're making wreaths for the reindeer's antlers to wear." Santa was confused, but then he saw a snowman trying on a wreath and he couldn't help but laugh.

So he decided to go along with it and made the whole sleigh team wear them. They looked so silly, but they felt festive.

The reindeer took off, pulling the sleigh and Santa, with the jingling of the wreaths leading the way. They delivered presents to all the children and everyone was so happy to see the silly, yet joyful team.

From that day on, Santa and his team always wore wreaths during their Christmas deliveries, because it brought joy to all who saw them.
