Nine Months Until Christmas

It’s down to just nine months until Christmas! There’s so much work to do.

We’ve got Santa trackers on fire with all kinds of new projects, the reindeer have left the North Pole for home and their natural habitat for training, and the elves over in Research and Development are just about ready to build the first prototypes of Santa’s new sleigh.

Over in Santa’s workshop things are humming. Reportedly great gains are being made on production quotas and according to Santa they are about six weeks ahead.

There has been some talk of some elves being able leave the North Pole for vacations soon. Of course, nobody went anywhere last year so this is news everyone here is anxious for. So many are hoping the pandemic has subsided to the point where they can visit with family and friends again. They are just waiting for the word from the North Pole Medical Center.

Also, we are starting to have meetings about Christmas in July at the North Pole this year. Last year was pretty big because of the pandemic. I’m wondering if this year will be bigger or smaller. We don’t really know yet. I expect to be able to share plans with you next month about it.

There’s one other thing I think I should tell you about. Santa told me about a new project the other day I think you’re really going to like. It has to do with your Christmas stocking. I cannot yet give you details but I will tell you that it is very important that your stocking this year is ready for Christmas.

Please make sure it is clean, in good repair and stored somewhere so that it can stay that way. You’ll understand later. Just don’t forget the big role your stocking will play this year.

That’s it, guys! Thanks for all your kind messages and emails. And by the time we send out another Santa Update we will have celebrated Easter and we will have had our first chat of the year with Santa. That’s coming up on the 17th of April. We hope you can be here for that.
