It was horrible... The elves were demanding to be paid more and santa was having financial problems trying to run The North Pole. After months of negotiation santa told the elves he had to lower their pay to help The North Pole survive. This is when the elves took action and decided to play a prank on santa. So the next day they sabotaged his sleigh which was destroyed killing santa and the elves kept saying "it's just a prank bro! Like your pay!". santa was then pronounced dead the next day. nobody knew santa lowering the pay was just a prank though. he was ready to give them a 15% increase that year, but he didn't tell them in time it was just a prank as he wanted it to last a couple of days. this has been a friendly reminder that pranks can be dangerous if not deadly. ----- the financial problems were horrible though so I don't blame santa myself (image below)... - but and there is a but in here if you wait long enough it will turn to coal especially since the pressure santa was under due to the finacial problems alone helped it to be basically coal before it even reached the bottom of the chimney. https://image.shutterstock.com/z/stock-vector-a-vector-cartoon-santa-sitting-on-the-chimney-of-a-bad-persons-house-42257977.jpg reminds me of when a chimney exploded one time because santa dropped a massive one (image above) or massive bomb down the chimney. woke up city blocks for miles, but again in his defense he ran out of coal.
