1 Month Until Christmas

Hi ho! Just 1 month to go until Christmas. One month from today is Christmas Eve!

We are excited at the North Pole. Why?

We’re making progress on the crisis in Santa’s Workshop. Last month, when I wrote a post like this one, Santa’s workshop was 92 days behind. As of last Thursday, we’re now just 58 days behind.

That is a pretty good pace considering that when October started we didn’t even have the supplies on hand Santa’s workshop needed to get their mission completed. While we haven’t solved the problem yet completely, we’re making very good progress.

We also have other good news to share.

Santa’s sleigh, which has been engaged in test flights since June, is ahead of scheduled and reportedly faster than ever. That’s good news! If Santa is going to have to deal with late-arriving stuff from Santa’s workshop to deliver he’s going to need the fastest sleigh in history, right?

Then there’s the news of the reindeer. Santa’s reindeer are all healthy. Blitzen just won the Reindeer Games. Like all elves, the reindeer have worked very hard for months to help with the situation in Santa’s workshop. Without their extra efforts we would not have everything the workshop needs.

And that’s the story so far of this Christmas. We are, as elves and reindeer and believers in Santa, having to work together more in order for the magic of Santa to happen.

And it’s happening.

We encourage you, especially those of you who are just joining us for the first time at SantaUpdate.com, to check with us daily – or stop in several times a day – to check the news from the North Pole.

It is only going to get better and better and even more exciting.

This week, with Thanksgiving, we step on the gas with Operation Merry Christmas. That means we kick in with the delivery phase – the one that ends with Santa’s Christmas.

There is much that has to happen and will happen before Santa launches from the North Pole.

We hope you are along for the ride.
