Christmas is a particularly busy time for Santa and this animation focuses on what he and his helpers do when 'tis not the season for gift-giving.
On the off-season, the animated mock interview shows that Santa is happy to get out of his iconic red suit and instead, dress up as a chicken for a while — it's a little ridiculous, but it makes him unrecognizable as Santa.
Santa's Christmas trees love diving, since it provides a workout and prevents it from catching on fire. The presents keep themselves trim and crumple-free by frequenting salons. They remark that people always assume it's what's on the inside that counts, but they make it clear that presentation is just as important. The charming animated short by Jens & Anna has a few other unexpected surprises and it may truly surprise you how Santa and his friends keep busy during the rest of the year.
