The North Pole is only working the first half of today. Then Santa’s workshop, the Wrapping Department, the Sleigh Department, the Reindeer Operations Department, North Pole Flight Command and even the North Pole Post Office will just stop. Elves will head home, put on their top-secret Halloween costumes, and then make their way to the […]
North Pole Flight Command announced yesterday that the test pilots, reindeer and flight engineers associated with the test flights of Santa’s sleigh will be taking a break for Halloween through next weekend. That means they will be coming home to a North Pole that looks very different than when they left. Everywhere you look it’s […]
To the surprise of no one at the North Pole Vixen cruised to total victory with a win in the final events of the Reindeer Games. She achieved what they call a sweep – winning every event she entered in these games. That feat was last accomplished in 1995 by Donner. So it is a […]
Nobody cheered Vixen today greater than Blitzen. Blitzen beat his own course record in “the Uphill” but it still wasn’t good enough to hold off a charging Vixen, who won for the sixth day in a row. Vixen has compiled such a great point advantage that many experts at the North Pole do not feel […]
Vixen just keeps rolling. Today she scored highest in what is called the Marathon, a multi-challenge event that involves running, flying, and delivering a loaded sleigh over a long distance under harsh North Pole conditions. She failed to set a record but given the weather at the North Pole today no one would have set […]
After a few weeks of controversy for the test flights of Santa’s sleigh things have returned to a quiet routine. Officials in North Pole Flight Command announced today the test flights will exit from South America to fly over the skies of Australia for the first time this year. Santa’s sleigh is still on Version […]
Vixen continues to surprise at the Reindeer Games where, for the third day in a row, she upset her competitors in the hard pull competition. This game, featuring a single reindeer pulled a heavily load sleigh, is traditionally an event favoring the much-larger reindeer such as Blitzen and Donner. In fact, for the past 27 […]
Vixen took to the skies in competition today in an event she traditionally never does well in – the running launch event. She scored an incredible total of 53 points – the highest in history – with her record launch velocity of 172.06 mph. That powered her altitude at the 10-second mark at an incredible […]
The first day of competition at the Reindeer Games has completed and two names took the day: Vixen and rookie Rodrigo. Vixen surprised everyone today in the very first race, where she faced Donner and Rudolph in a mix of lesser-known reindeer and dominated. Donner, many think, was especially surprised at Vixen’s speed and agility. […]
The opening ceremonies of the annual Reindeer Games began with a parade of reindeer athletes. The grandstands were full and the marching bands were out as this earlier-in-the-season schedule for the games has allowed a great many more fans here at the North Pole to participate. It is anticipated that all events will be well-attended […]
Vixen returned to the North Pole today to join in the Reindeer Games slated to begin later this week. She has been in Norway, her native home, since August where she has trained in private. She also joined the test flight team of Santa’s sleigh for a few weeks when it was reported there were […]
The first major winter snowstorm of the season has walloped the North Pole with several feet of snow. It is not unusual for the North Pole to get large amounts of snow any day of the year. It is, after all, the North Pole. Elf Seymour Snow, head elf at the Weather Department, reports that […]
