Meet the Santa family：

Arthur is Santas youngest son. He is?warm-hearted（熱心腸的）， but always?clumsy（ 毛手毛腳的）. Arthur loves?children and everything about Christmas.He writes back to every letter kids send to?Santa.

Arthurs elder brother Steve is tall，?smart and strong. Steve made lots of new?machines. So they can deliver the presents?faster. But he is arrogant（傲慢的）. And he?doesnt like Christmas as much as Arthur.?He thinks Christmas is just a day of work.

Santa is nice. But he is no longer（不再）a good leader（領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人）at the North?Pole. He is slow and often forgets things.

Grandsanta is Santas father.?He is 136 years old. He is a strange?old man. His false teeth（假牙）often?fall out of his mouth. Grandsanta?doesnt like modern technology（現(xiàn)代科技）. He always says Christmas?was much better when he was Santa.
