7 Months Until Christmas
Greetings, friends. There are now 7 months until Christmas and we’re now running in high gear.
In the past month, Santa has extended a vacation deadline to all elves, he has settled the design controversy for his new sleigh and he has ordered 32 new sleighs of the newest version to be built. In just a matter of a few days the first test flights of that sleigh will begin over the skies of the North Pole.
The news out of Santa’s workshop, as Elf Trixie reported, is all good. Santa’s workshop is way ahead so far this year.
That is affecting other departments. But nobody’s worried about our progress so far. It is still very early in the year.
What is on everyone’s mind is Christmas in July.
July is a busy time for elf work but it’s also a fun time. We always celebrate Christmas in July. Right now those events are being worked on.
One detail I can’t wait to see happen: the Eggnog Dunking Booth.
Usually the dunking booth is filled with water. And everyone really has a lot of fun waiting to see if Santa will show up in his shorts to take a turn at the dunking booth.
He usually does. And when Santa shows up to get dunked, he draws a large line. They pay a dollar for every throw of the ball and proceeds raises money for Santa’s Sleigh, which is the name of our little fund for helping others in need at Christmas.
It’s a fun event. Santa gets a little wet, the elves have fun dunking him, and money is raised for a good cause.
Someone – and I think it was Elf Crash – suggested that we will the dunking booth this year with eggnog instead of water and the idea has just taken off. Now everyone wants to get dunked in the dunking booth. Elves are volunteering for it.
This whole silly thing has kind of recharged the Christmas in July effort. It’s always popular – but it might see record attendance because of this thing.
Plans are still being drawn up and will be announced as we get closer to Leon Day.
So stay tuned! Lots of fun stuff coming from the North Pole these days!
