25 Weeks Until Christmas

Hi ho, gang! There are 25 weeks until Christmas!

All of a sudden it really feels like we’re cookin’ here at the North Pole. It was just a few weeks back and it felt abandoned around here. But now there’s activity just about everywhere.

I keep getting a lot of worried questions. Will Santa make it this year? Is his sleigh going to be okay? Are the reindeer going to be alright? Is Christmas going to happen?

Relax, guys.

Everything is going just fine. In fact, things are going GREAT.

I’m so happy for Trixie, my reindeer. She was one of those worried about things.

She can’t help it. It is just in her nature.

But she’s back to work and she is so excited about that. I won’t see her for a few months as she is a part of the test flight reindeer team. She loves being a part of that.

Of course, like all reindeer she wants to one day be on Santa’s team.

That is how every reindeer feels.

But I know she loves the role she has now. She’s getting a little older. She is wiser and a lot of the younger reindeer really look up to her. They come to her now for advice, which I think is really cool.

I’m not sure when there will be more reindeer at the North Pole. That is another question we get a lot around this time of year. I haven’t heard any rumors or seen any signs that they are coming back.

But it’s still very early.

As for me, I’m happy too. Mrs. Claus is making things very busy for me. I suppose that could be because she is in charge of so much of the social activity here at the North Pole. She organizes so many things and right now, being Christmas in July, she’s really busy.

Christmas in July is a busy and a messy time for the elves. There’s the big water balloon fight to organize. We need thousands of balloons filled with Kool-Aid. And there is the pie throwing contest to put together. And the dunking booth. And the Great Squirt Gun Battle.

Mrs. Claus has her hand in all of these activities and even more because she doesn’t want things getting out of hand. Like the year someone put all the frogs in the community pool here at the North Pole. Mrs. Claus wants everyone to have a good time but she watches things like a hawk now because she just knows how some elves can be.

I’ll try to update you all on these events coming up. But there will be real serious elf stuff to tell you about as well.

For now, however, things are good! See ya next week.
