Santa’s Magic Toy Bag

🎄 It’s 1983, and my emotional support jack-in-the-box is not providing much help for my Imposter Syndrome.  


Prepare for a deep dive into another pre-ALF puppet special from Paul Fusco starring a very depressed elf in training trying to find where he belongs in Santa’s workshop by first finding everywhere he doesn’t belong.  


Plus:
Santa’s Swedish Chef-like human hands!
A three-eyed purple teddy bear we never get to see!
Paul Fusco inserting himself into his own Christmas fan fiction!
