From Lane Stadium to Santa's Workshop Directly to the Toyshop
It's hard to imagine the thrum of a college football game transitioning quickly into the serenity of Santa's Workshop. Yet, for one lucky fan, that improbable journey is about to begin! After catching a touchdown pass at Lane Stadium, he find themselves magically beamed to the North Pole.
- Maybe it was a special Christmas ornament, or maybe a mischievous elf had something to do with it.
- Whatever the reason, our fan is about to experience a whirlwind adventure filled with toy-making elves and of course, the one and only Santa Claus!
