Trackers in Oceania Can Check In

With 24 hours to go until Christmas Eve hits the first areas of Sector 1 in the South Pacific an invitation has been sent to tracker elves tracking Santa for Santa in that part of the world to check in with their Elf Supervisors. Tracker elves have been working all year to provide timely information […]

I Yam What I Yam

I yam what I yam. Please let me explain that. Thanksgiving is its own holiday. Let’s be clear about that. I say that only because so many seem to think that Thanksgiving gets forgotten in the shadow of Christmas. 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. That program has been a pilot program for the first five years but Santa has taken it over this year now that the tracker elf program is […]

Planning for Christmas

It is a new year. It is “planning for Christmas” season. That means just one thing at the North Pole: calendars. Every elf here has a calendar. This is the time of year they all get new calendars and they spend weeks scribbling plans, goals and big dates on their new calendars. I think it […]

The Truth about Elf on the Shelf

Brace yourself. I’m about to bust some hard Santa truth on you about Elf on the Shelf. At the North Pole we work hard to share the truth of Santa Claus. Sometimes that truth is not pretty. For example, kids will write in and ask Santa for stuff they should never have. It’s my job […]

You’re Never Too Old to Believe

You’re never too old to believe in Santa Claus. That is a truth that many people, especially children, need to get their head around. You see, now that the silliness of Halloween is over the world of children especially begins to focus on Santa. I sometimes call this the “bullying season”, especially for kids between […]

Elves and Anxiety

The most recent crisis at the North Pole – Santa’s absence – seems to have sent waves of panic in the elf community. It has caused many of you out there to send in letters of concern. From nine year old Natalie of Wisconsin, this question is typical: “Why are the elves so nervous?” It […]

When Elves Get Mad

The nature of my job as an elf is different. I spend most of my days working at a computer in an office. When the world thinks of elves they think of the guys and gals over in Santa’s workshop. Really, the world SHOULD think of those workshop elves first. They work hard. They do […]

Why Thanksgiving is as Big as Christmas at the North Pole

Years ago I got in a lot of trouble for writing a column titled A Fat Man’s Holiday. That article talked about Santa’s love of food and the North Pole celebration of Thanksgiving. I will attempt to once again explain it all without getting anyone upset. First of all, let’s talk about Santa and food. […]

When Things Go Wrong at the North Pole

The Merry Prankster sure upset a lot of folks this week. When the news broke of what he did at the North Pole Post Office what did the children of the world do? They flooded the North Pole post Office with letters. Isn’t that ironic? That’s okay, kids. That is what you are supposed to […]
