Shagbark calls over one of the elves and entrusts the rum to him.

The s stroll among the toys and pass into the living quarters where they smell a large turkey roasting on a spit in a huge stone fireplace. that is enough to make anyone hungry

shagbark has a question for Santa. I have heard that this whole complex sits on an iceflow above open ocean. So how do you keep the fireplace from melting the ice?
Simple, replies Magic.

Roasted turkeys are very popular with everyone except, perhaps, other turkeys...

Probably the whole workshop is perched atop Noah's Ark, which is still free from leaks.

shagbark Posted Nov 15, 2008
With so many elves working so close together- leeks or garlic might not be a good idea for the menu anyway.
Ah, it looks like Mrs. claus is opening the brandy Paul gave her.
