I also have the Carry Along Holiday House (set 5755).  And, if you will both look at the attached image, you will see that the elf sits properly in the sleigh while/whilst Santa stands properly on the runners (just as if he were going to "mush" a dog sledge)!

This is the design of this set! Now get into the "Holiday Spirit" and stop picking on Horst's poor employees!

Happy Holidays to both of you! And, we love y'all, even though you're both just like a couple of mischievous kids ...  :P

All the best,
Richard

Gaaah!  Everybody knows Santa would never ride that way!  My mom took me to the North Pole when I was eight, and the elves weren't even allowed to touch the sleigh, except for the maintenance crew and the flight engineer.

Hello, Martin ...

But the elf doesn't sit properly in the sleigh - he rattles about loosely because his feet won't clip onto the footrest. Normal children fit, but not the elves with their curly-toe shoes - and Santa doesn't stand "properly" on the runner, because if you clip his hand onto the bar for safety, his feet don't sit straight on the running board.  >:D

My guess is they included the small sleigh to make it look more "Christmassy" without needing to increase the price of the set.

The full-size sleigh would have been nicer and perhaps more practical for play purposes, but it would also have made the whole set a lot less affordable.

IMHO, the best thing in that set is the elves. Those curly-toed boots and floppy hats are absolutely adorable! :elf:
Next to the light-up Christmas tree, they are my favourite item from all of the Holiday sets. :love:

I've bought some elves from the DS and was thinking of painting some of their trousers and hats in different colours in order to get a larger group that don't all have the same uniform. :)

I like the curled shoes, too.  I'm waiting for those to migrate to the adult klickies!  Long, curled shoes really were a crazy 14th century fashion--maybe conceptually similar to the "droopy drawers" causing such angst and soul searching in America.

Sorry Michael.

He isn't.

If you look closer, you'll see that his beard and moustache is way to short.

But he seems to have same twinkling in his face though - perhaps he's his brother???
Are you, Richard. Come on ... you can tell us ... we won't pass it on.
