50 Days Until Santa's Launch

North Pole Flight Command has issued their first alert of Santa’s official launch countdown – which happens with just 50 days to go until launch time.

While to the public it looks a routine news post behind the scenes things are put into motion the public never sees as this marker in the season is met.

First of all, and this confuses a lot of people, this is not 50-days until Christmas.

This is 50-days until Santa’s launch, which actually happens just ahead of Christmas Eve for the world.

Christmas isn’t the target of the North Pole or Operation Merry Christmas. Santa’s launch is the target.

Santa’s launch is also a deadline for every North Pole Department, including Santa’s Workshop. Can you see now why we are making such a big deal about the Crisis in Santa’s Workshop?

They are, like every other department at the North Pole, supposed to be done with their work before Santa takes off. Are they going to make it? What happens if they don’t?

Other departments have to meet that goal too.

The Wrapping Department, the Tracking Department, the Weather Department, and even the North Pole Post Office have to have certain things ready.

The sleigh needs to be ready. That is why there are test flights.

The reindeer have to be ready. That is why there are Reindeer Games.

Even Santa has to be ready.

He has to be fitted for his suit, he has to pass a physical, and he needs to know the wish list of every believer who sends one in.

The 50-day marker is huge. 50-days! That’s not much time. We hope you are meeting your goals too in the countdown to Christmas.
