Santa’s Workshop is 33 Days Behind
The Workshop Crisis Management Task Force reports today that Santa’s workshop is 33 days behind with 19 days remaining until Santa’s launch.
North Pole Flight Command started shuttle operations this week with 500 reindeer pressed into service. They are shipping completed and wrapped presents from the North Pole to staging areas set up in strategic locations around the world.
Every Christmas Eve North Pole Flight Command launches Operation Airlift right after Santa launches, which is the portion of items remaining that come out of Santa’s workshop.
Normally that process begins in the month of August. But because of the crisis in Santa’s workshop they are late getting things to where they need to go. The big question right now centers on whether the Workshop can produce all the items needed in time and whether there are enough pilots, sleighs and reindeer to get those things in position for Santa.
Being 33 days behind with 19 days left is starting to look like an insurmountable challenge.

Thank you, Elf Harold, and Elves Holly and Red! I hope the elves at the workshop stay healthy, warm, and smiling. I think Elf Victor will be able to prepare the reindeer. I pray North Pole Flight Command can make the pilots and the sleighs on time, too. I can imagine Santa and Elf Roger would have recruited them earlier for the Kringle Plan. I am praying that everything will go well and safely. Happy December and Merry Christmas! Elf Roland
