    > belief that St. Nick a/k/a St. Nicholas a/k/a Santa Claus (Hereinafter
    > "Claus") would arrive at sometime thereafter.

    > hallucinations, i.e., dreams, wherein visions of confectionery treats,
    > including, but not limited to, candies, nuts and/or sugar plums, did
    > dance, cavort and otherwise appear in said dreams.

    > residences located adjacent to and in the vicinity of the House, and
    > noted that the Vehicle was heavily laden with packages, toys and other
    > items of unknown origin and nature.
    >
    > Suddenly, without prior invitation or permission, either express or
    > implied, the Vehicle arrived at the House, and Claus entered said
    > House via the chimney. Said Claus was clad in a red fur suit, which
    > was partially covered with residue from the chimney, and he carried a
    > large sack containing a portion of the aforementioned packages, toys,
    > and other unknown items. He was smoking what appeared to be tobacco in
    > a small pipe in blatant violation of local ordinances and health
    > regulations. Claus did not speak, but immediately began to fill the
    > stockings of the minor children, which hung adjacent to the chimney,
    > with toys and other small gifts. (Said items did not, however,
    > constitute "gifts" to said minors pursuant to applicable provisions of
    > the Canada Tax Code.)
    >
    > Upon completion of such task, Claus touched the side of his nose and
    > flew, rose and/or ascended up the chimney of the House to the roof
    > where the Vehicle and the Deer waited and/or served as "lookouts."
    > Claus immediately departed for an unknown destination. However, prior
    > to the departure of the Vehicle, Deer and Claus from said House, the
    > party of the first part did hear Claus state and/or exclaim: "Merry
    > Christmas to all and to all a good night!" Or words to that effect.
