Over the years (due to many technological advances, I am assuming) Santa has more time on his hands and is looking forward to enjoying a nice relaxing morning with the children of Vancouver, where they will have the opportunity to have a special breakfast, enjoy some festive entertainment, face painting and spending some quality time with the jolly, bushy bearded heart-breaker himself.
