Over the past several months we have spent a lot of time talking about what it takes to become an elf. Many of you have responded – in fact, millions of you out there want to become an elf. The first step that we all take is to take the Elf Oath. Once we understand […]
Good news! Elf Wally says that the combined efforts of the Wrapping Department at the North Pole and the Wrapping Center on Jingle Bell 1 are having the desired effect — a lot of work is getting done quickly. He is optimistic that Santa cannot outrun their efforts! One of the many large spaces on […]
More sleighs led by more elves and reindeer are launching from the North Pole at this hour. Their destinations and their missions have been labeled top secret. This is a huge group of reindeer – I would say thousands are either in flight or preparing to take off at this time. While we have seen […]
A favorite pastime for many in the hours leading up to Christmas is tracking Santa on a map to see where he is and how far away he is from delivering in a certain part of the world. Millions of people around the world track Santa. Some trackers meet in groups, either online or offline, […]
While things are looking up for Operation Merry Christmas with the launch of Jingle Bell 1 there is still one very big unknown variable that could mess things up for Santa: the weather. All over the world there are weather events to worry about. The North Pole is under siege by a blizzard. There are […]
As Christmas Eve falls in the Middle East, Africa and in Europe at this hour we are learning more about all that coal that has been arriving for months at the North Pole. The coal powers Jingle Bell 1. We wondered how Santa was doing it. At first, someone here said that all these thousands […]
Secret Spies working for Santa in Spain have revealed a plot to try to trick Santa later tomorrow as he flies to that country. It was revealed that non-believers were planning to put up a giant net between two houses in hopes of catching Santa. “I don’t understand that,” Elf Ed Zachary told me when […]
I wrote a short time ago to Elf Gloria, Santa’s Commissioner of Christmas Traditions here at the North Pole. She is busy getting the sleigh bells ready for Santa’s sleigh, a very important job that we’ll talk about in a little while. But for right now she’s very concerned that some children out there in […]
Although things are looking up at the North Pole Santa has sent word down the line that it is important that elves keep working. There is still a lot of work yet to accomplish in the workshop and, of course, the wrapping department is far, far behind. Mrs. Claus has sprung into action, delivering sandwiches, […]
Another call has gone out for Secret Spies, this time in South America. Elf Agent X, who has been avoiding me for months because I kept asking him questions about the Big Building with No Name, suddenly wants to talk a lot. And secret spies are all he wants to talk about. He says that […]
Even though the Big Building with No Name is no longer a mystery there are still plenty of unexplained elements to Santa’s ride this year. We still don’t quite yet understand what the mountain of coal is all about. And we don’t know why there are hundreds of sleigh and thousands of reindeer at the […]
The sugar cookie pool has kicked into high gear at the North Pole as elves still working in every department are now placing bets – almost all exclusively in Santa’s favor. “It isn’t a bet on whether Santa will make it or not,” explained Elf Hank Beedle, director of this year’s Christmas Party at the […]
