Welcome to the Hangar 49 Christmas special episode!  It’s a special, and busy, time of year.  Santa’s workshop, and the H49 studios have a lot going on.  Just like Santa’s place, the H49 elves are busy. So, when one elf doesn’t show up for work, it makes it tough.  Somehow, with only two of us, we managed to get the show on the roof…er…runway.
