Happy Monday, kids! Time to tell you about the brains in Santa’s bunch. His name is Blitzen. Blitzen has the heart of a champion and, in fact, he’s won the Reindeer Games a record 43 times over the course of his illustrious career. He’s also been Reindeer of the Year 7 times and once even […]
If ever there was a reindeer that is a mystery, it’s Donner. Donner is a big, big reindeer. He does not say much and he almost never smiles. He talks only to Santa and no one else. He’s like a statue. He won’t even blink if you stare at him. He concentrates hard, he works […]
Today we talk about Cupid. Cupid is very popular among the other reindeer. He likes to be with other reindeer and to be friends with them. He seems to be at every gathering, every picnic, every party. He is a planner and a doer. He loves to visit, to laugh, to sing and to be […]
If there is one reindeer on Santa’s team that is just plain silly, it’s Comet. Comet’s name would suggest that he is a very fast reindeer. And because he flies on Santa’s team he is indeed one of the fastest reindeer in the world. But he is not actually the fastest reindeer that Santa has. […]
Today we tell you about one of the most misunderstood of all of Santa’s reindeer. Her name is Vixen. The name Vixen is very old. Like many names, it doesn’t mean the same thing today that it meant long ago. These days when you say the name Vixen you think of a girl who isn’t […]
Of the many girl reindeer on Santa’s team none is more important than Prancer. Prancer is a leader, one of the reindeer all the other on the team like to follow. She is also very, very friendly. “Yes, she loves children,” Elf Victor said. “Santa likes to take her to many places because as far […]
I went over to Santa’s Stables today and talked a little while with Elf Victor, who as you know is the head of Santa’s Reindeer Operations. I was looking for a little more information about the spotlight reindeer of the day, Dancer. Dancer is actually a pretty shy girl. In fact, I actually tried to […]
As part of our Christmas in July celebration we’re sharing information about Santa’s reindeer — real stuff about each of them that we know you want to know. A lot of people assume that Rudolph is Santa’s lead reindeer but actually — he’s not. Dasher is Santa’s captain – a true champion and a regal […]
Elf Hugo reports that the North Pole Post Office has been hit with a bunch of email all asking the same question: what does the North Pole do for Christmas in July? Let me answer that question for you: we celebrate it! Believe it or not, all month long we have something going on every […]
It’s that special day that only happens once a year – today marks the halfway point to Christmas and only six months remains until Santa flies on Christmas Eve. We call it “Leon Day”. Leon is noel spelled backwards. The funny thing is that everyone here at the North Pole woke up today with lots […]
Hey everyone! It’s now just seven months until Christmas Eve! And things are getting a little weird here at the North Pole. We had our first picnic of the “warm” season here. (It never actually gets warm here at the North Pole, but we like to pretend). It was, of course, snowing outside so we […]
Happy April everyone! The boys over in the Research and Development Department are having big meetings this month. Santa has put them back to work in sleigh design and they are all excited. If you recall, Santa gave them the year off last year and made his own sleigh. Those guys were pretty bummed about […]
