nother Cosmic Christmas

Inspiration: 

As Santa and his helpers had moved to another planet (see book 1), I questioned myself what might have happened to his old Workshop on the North Pole?
As I was finishing a thriller story, I was "in the mood" to add a little crime into this episode of Santarctica. Enjoy another great Christmas Tale. Fun and exciting for the young ones
and, as a matter of fact, fun for the old ones too!
