In this chapter, the little girl meets with Santa, who invites her to come and visit him. The little girl complains that she's too tired to give presents this year and that she doesn't want to be a part of the holiday tradition. She's also worried about her back, her shoulder, her knees, and her eyes. Santa makes her a delicious stew and tells her that it's the best stew she has ever had. The girl is so excited that she can't wait to go and deliver presents.
