Some even insist that here at the North Pole even we are guilty of zooming past Thanksgiving […]
Santa finally opened the Elf Supervisor Conference by telling those gathered that the tracker elf program is really only getting started this year. Big changes are in store.

I will attempt to once again explain it all without getting anyone upset. First of all, let’s talk about Santa and food. […]
