Naughty or nice? Modern day Santa Claus replaces sleigh and reindeer for hoverboard

Dec 8, 2015, 11:00 AM

For years, we knew Santa Claus would fly from the North Pole with his reindeer, shimmy his way down the chimney and place a plethra of shiny, new gifts underneath your Christmas tree in exchange for a couple warm cookies and a cold glass of milk.

(If you were a good boy or girl, of course.)

But with it being the year 2015, it seems as if Santa has found a new ride. This video of a modern day Santa shows the magical man gifting little boys and girls on a hoverboard instead relying on trusty ol’ Rudolph — and he’s not quite used to it yet.

So don’t be surprised if, while asleep in bed on Christmas Eve, you hear a thud followed by an array of jingles; It’s probably just Santa getting used to his new ride.
