Chasing Santa
While the focus of Operation Merry Christmas this year seems to be dominated by Santa’s new sleigh there is another sleigh in the skies on Christmas Eve – the one used by Elf Crash Murphy to chase Santa in the skies.
His job is to observe Santa, measure his progress and position, and to report via North Pole Radio News from his chaser sleigh every Christmas Eve.
Elf Crash draws more mail than just about any other elf at the North Pole due to his dual jobs of chasing Santa as an Eye in the Sky reporter and as International Director of Santa Trackers.
They don’t call him the Ultimate Santa tracker for nothing.
He literally works tracking Santa for Santa all year long. And that is why he gets so much mail.
In this episode of the North Pole Podcast we explore the questions people have about following Santa on Christmas Eve. And we get into the deep water of why Norad isn’t exactly helpful in tracking Santa.
