Down below, several reindeer have arrived, seemingly answering Nicklaus' earlier summons - Santa's call!?!?
Continuing to aura-farm, he started to scale down the nursing home wall.
Heh. All was well that ended well…
…Unfortunately… that was when he slipped… and fell.
___
"$@&#!!!!!"
Nicklaus let out a very unprofessional yell.
He was clearly rusty… a little out of shape.
But nothing a bit of duct tape… couldn't fix, he thought, as he untangled himself from a bunch of sticks upon which he had landed on the ground, and which had made an awfully loud sound.
Dammit. He was gettin' old. Not to mention, the night was cold.
Even so. He would see this through. This… was something he had to do!

Nursing home lady's initial awe at witnessing Nicklaus' seemingly magical display… transforms into shock, as Nicklaus seems to slip, and lose his grip.
Oh! Phew. Fortunately, he seems to be all right.
Well. At least she might get to see the sight?
Of him ascending to the skies in flight?
As Nicklaus no doubt would on his rein-deer powered sleigh… alight!?!
___
Nicklaus hooks up the reindeer to his sleigh, smiling as he bids her good day.
Nursing home lady waves back, as she sees him off until he is but a red and white speck against the black.
It is then that she looks more closely at the coupon in her hands.
She knew that Nicklaus had meant well…
Perhaps in his old age, it had been hard to tell?
…Perhaps he had just been a bit tired…
But the 25% off coupon was expired!!!!

*Nursing Home Director's Office*
"So… Let me get this straight… Under your watch, your… supervision, you allowed an old, geriatric man, who claimed to be a descendant of Santa Claus, dress up in what he claimed was a 100% authentic Santa Claus costume, and set off in his… sleigh with a bunch of reindeer that you claim he summoned with some bells and whistles?!?!"
