Huge Increase in Sleighs and Reindeer
North Pole Flight Command today announced yet another big increase in the number of reindeer assigned to active service. 5000 more reindeer were activated today, bringing the total to 7,000 put into service in the first week of December alone.
“This is normally a time of rest and exercise for reindeer in advance of Christmas Eve,” said Elf Terrence Hoyle, an assistant in the office of Reindeer Operations. “But this is not a normal year. The late nature of production coming out of Santa’s workshop has changed the routine for every department and we need these reindeer working now.”
Elf Roger Star at North Pole Flight Command today also confirmed that the continued addition of sleighs and reindeer will continue in the run up to Christmas as more production emerges from Santa’s workshop.

Thank you, Elf Harold, and Elves Frank and Crash! Wow, the announcement was December 7th, that 7,000 reindeer and maybe 700 sleighs?! The numbers will make them luck! Each sector maybe have 140 sleighs or does Sector 5 have more? I’m curious how to fly each other. In the sky including airplains! Anyway, I pray for the Kringle Plan is going well and safely. Happy December and Merry Christmas! 🦌🛷🌟🤞😊
