You, and your girlfriend noticed smoke coming from the other end of the trail, and decided to follow where it was coming from, hoping that nothing too severe happened. While heading past some of the trees, you saw a bunch of what looked to like silhouettes of reindeer running off into the forest one by one because of something.
By the time you reached where the smoke was, you found a crashed sleigh in the middle of the snow, and a sack full of fallen presents, as if something must have happened while this was going on. The presents lead to an empty sack, and you discovered a familiar body face down on the ground, as he was getting up. This individual wore red, had black boots, and the next thing that came to your mind was the red hat. The conclusion added to all of this was that this person was actually Santa Claus.
