Amble away with little stuffed Santa while doggie goes frantic running after you with little pink bunny in his mouth. Then force him to choose. Bonus points if, in the middle of the fun, you casually pocket Santa and leave the room as though the game were over and Santa is now yours forever because of his choice.
