The month of January seems silly to some. Gone are the days of anticipation for Christmas and with that it seems Santa and the North Pole are forgotten. After the brief post-Christmas rush of thank you cards and letters to the North Pole post office it has actually become very quiet. January seems silly because […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
Last Christmas was all about how Santa’s reindeer went missing. Remember that? It was such a big story that the email questions about reindeer are still pouring in. There are some things you need to know about reindeer. I think I can answer a lot of your questions right here. First of all, you might […]
Halloween is a lot like Christmas at the North Pole. There is a buzz here this week as Halloween approaches. Everyone is happy. Everyone is excited. Elves love Halloween.

I was stunned to get this question via the mail to the North Pole this week: How do elves poop? I’m not answering it. And that’s because elves poop like everyone else and it’s disgusting and I don’t want to talk about it. But these are the burning questions we get about elf life here […]
I just wanted to say thanks to all the folks who sent me email after last week’s column. I had no idea how much interest there is in elf life. Our little discussion about elves in your home really brought forward a ton of questions. You are very kind in your comments and you ask […]
Everybody knows about the Big Elf who goes down your chimney in the dark of night every Christmas. His name is Santa Claus. We all welcome him into our homes with great anticipation. But there are other elves that go to your house. Perhaps you know about these guys and what they do. Or maybe […]
The guys at the North Pole radio news department are really hard at work already. Their big show – the one you hear on Kringle Radio from December 23rd through the 25th tracking Santa round the world – will evidently feature some new voices this year. Yup, they are hiring some new folks and the […]
