Industrious elves at the North Pole Flight Command Center have swung open the back doors of the sleigh barn to let sleighs leave the other way.

We live at the North Pole. We’re used to bad weather. I would also remind you that Santa is a master sleigh pilot. He drives the world’s largest, heaviest sleigh and they are powered by the most elite force of reindeer known in the history of sleigh flight. I tell you that only to buffer […]
