Only 11 Months Until Christmas

Greetings Santa Fans!

It is a whole new year and a brand new start to counting down the months, then the weeks, then the days to Christmas.

In fact, in just 11 months we’ll be tracking Santa around the world once again.

Here at the North Pole Operation Merry Christmas 2014 is still in the planning stages.

While the experience of last Christmas is still fresh in our minds Santa has called a meeting of his top elves to discuss what went right, what went wrong and what we can do different in the year ahead.

I can tell you right now that work is already underway on Santa’s sleigh.

It proved to be the biggest problem of last year and Santa doesn’t want any repeats of that kind of trouble.

Meanwhile, folks in Santa’s workshop are drawing up plans too. It is their job to try to find out what to make this next Christmas. That is kind of a hard job. What a kid likes in January is quite different than what he might like later on in the year.

So while the workshop tries to figure out what will be popular they will continue to make classic toys they know kids love and that they always make.

Join us here each month on the 24th – Rudolph Day, as we like to call it here – as we countdown to Christmas and provide a fresh update of news from Santa and the North Pole.
