Hi ho, friends. 25 weeks to go until Christmas. Technically, that’s half way. But 25 sure seems like a tiny number to me these days. In fact, these long days of summer this year feel like short days to me. The hours just zoom by because I’m so busy. Everyone writing in to the North […]
The Annual Eggnog Pancake Breakfast, hosted by Santa and Mrs. Claus, kicked off the Christmas in July festivities at the North Pole today. Elves and their families took time away from their mid-week work schedules to show up in flip-flops and swimsuits for a warm summer day at the North Pole for games and contests […]
Leon Day at the North Pole is now in full swing and it’s gone to a new level this year. Sleigh traffic chaos developed on Main Street in North Pole Village today as sleighs moving in reverse tried to make their way up the hill. Reindeer walking backwards pushing a sleigh is far different than […]
Just 27 weeks until Christmas – and just a week away from Leon Day! You get it, right? You know why they call it Leon Day? Elf Ernest explains it every year. Given that we’re 35 years old here we should not have to explain it again. But already the mail is coming in. What […]
Now there are 28 weeks until Christmas. It feels much later than that. First of all, these test flights of Santa’s sleigh are really making people nervous. I cannot remember a time when everyone was talking about the test flights like this. It’s only June! But to hear some of these elves talk you would […]
There are 29 weeks now until Christmas. Almost 200 days until Santa launches. 151 days until the North Pole Halloween party. 177 days until the Annual Thanksgiving Day Elf Parade. And just 86 days until the biggest reindeer wedding in history. My gosh. I thought weddings were supposed to be fun? Remember when I shared […]
Just 30 weeks remain until Christmas. And just 28 days until Leon Day, which marks the halfway point to Christmas. There are lots of debates this week in North Pole media about Leon Day. Some argue that Christmas is really two days – December 24th and December 25th. Some say it is one day but […]
Hi everyone! There are just 31 weeks left until Christmas. That’s like…barely more than half way. Seriously. Where does the time go? I have been working a lot this week. Mrs. Claus has been part of a lot of meetings, you see. When she has meetings, I gotta go. Because I’m basically Mrs. Claus’ notebook. […]
Hi ho! There are just 32 weeks left to go until Christmas. And even less time until the wedding. You see, we now have a date: August 29th is the day. That’s when my reindeer Trixie gets married to the Mighty Mick. You would not believe everything that has gone into just getting this date […]
Hi guys! There are 36 weeks until Christmas. I’ve got reindeer on my mind. My reindeer – Trixie. She’s getting married and there’s a big wedding date we’re working on. Trixie is marrying The Mighty Mick, as you well know. Mick is actually back, at work at the Kringle Reindeer Center. He’s working with this […]
Hi Friends! There are now 37 weeks remaining until Christmas. Easter came and went so fast here at the North Pole. It’s still winter here and we had a lot of bad weather for Easter. So we did most of our traditional events inside. The Annual Easter Egg Roll was a big event, as it […]
Greetings and I’m sorry! There are just 40 weeks now until Christmas and I’ve been AWOL for more than a month in supplying updates. It’s been very busy for me. But that’s no excuse. Just to quickly catch you up: After the Valentine’s Day Ball I went home to Colorado very quickly because my Mom […]
