Annual Reindeer Games Scheduled
The Reindeer Games Committee announces that the Reindeer Games for this year will hold Opening Ceremonies on October 13th.
So many reindeer are now at the North Pole that organizers are anticipating greater reindeer participation that ever. Complicating factors include the more than 5000 rookie reindeer that are either being recruited or in training right now. Their possible inclusion in the games is not yet certain.
Santa’s Reindeer – popularly known as Santa’s A-Team – is almost always favored to win the games. Blitzen won last year. But thousands of other reindeer are going to participate and occasionally one of them surprises. So you never know what is going to happen.
The Annual Reindeer Games are a very popular event at the North Pole. They run nearly around the clock for several days and are viewable via North Pole TV. Elves are known to keep coverage on non-stop at their workplaces.
Santa and Mrs. Claus are expected to return from Thanksgiving in Canada in early October in order to attend the games this year, which is kind of a rare event.

Thank you, Elf Ed Zachary, Elves Frank and Crash! Exciting news! I think the reindeer games will open faster than usual. I wonder how many reindeer will join the game. They are 100,000 this year, right? I hope all the reindeer enjoy the games safely. I wish I could give my cookie to the reindeer!! 🦌🦌🦌
