Santa’s Workshop is Five Days Behind
The Workshop Crisis Management Task Force reports today that Santa’s workshop is 5 days behind with 1 day remaining until Santa’s launch.

The North Pole has been rushing resources to Santa’s workshop for weeks and even more in recent days, even tapping into the elf workforce at North Pole Flight Command.
The situation is dire. Flight Command has been pushing sleighs at a record pace since just after Thanksgiving in an effort called Operation Airlift, which is the annual movement of presents, wrapped and tagged and ready to go, to staging areas around the world.
Each sector has several staging areas where things are stored. As Santa makes his flight his sleigh is replenished by elves according to a very organized system that makes his delivery efficient.
Sectors 4 and 5 are the two sectors very far behind in all of these efforts. They stand in real danger of not having toys for Santa to deliver when he arrives in those sectors on Christmas Eve.
For more information about the status of Santa’s workshop, please listen to the North Pole Radio News report in the player above.
