Sleigh Bells Declared Ready
/
World from the Research and Development Department who have been putting the final touches on Santa’s sleigh is that the sleigh bells are perfectly tuned and ready to go. This is actually very good news. Tradition has it that Elf Gloria spends hours in advance of Santa’s launch overseeing the process of tuning the sleigh […]
Only One Santa
/
Email response to our last Santa Update indicates there is some confusion out there. I just said there were thousands of sleighs in flight around the world – not thousands of Santas. Some are writing in asking if there is more than one Santa Claus. Sorry for the confusion, kids. There is only one Santa […]
Beware of Low Flying Sleighs
/
You might want to spend time near a window before going to bed on Christmas Eve. Your chances of seeing a sleigh in flight are greater than ever. Elves in the tracking center are telling me that Santa has more flying sleighs in the air this Christmas than ever before. Thousands of sleighs are being […]
Three Hours to Launch
/
We’re just 3 hours or less away from Santa’s launch and the Tracking Center is very busy already. Elves from around the world are testing equipment, getting into place and checking in to the North Pole. A lot of people think the Tracking Department just tracks Santa. They do that but that is actually the […]
Jingle Bell 1 Launches Hundreds of Sleighs
/
We have just been informed from the tracking center of the launch of hundreds of sleighs from Jingle Bell 1 – not Santa’s sleigh, but hundreds of other sleighs. These are small sleighs, designed for speed and agility. We do not know what their purpose is. In fact, in talking with the tracking department we […]
Mrs. Claus Takes Over the Workshop
/
Mrs. Claus is performing a different role at the moment than she usually does at the North Pole – she has rolled up her sleeves and has taken charge of Santa’s workshop. With so many elves missing and working on the big project we now know as Jingle Bell 1 it appears Santa asked Mrs. […]
False Rumors Abound of Santa’s Launch
/
A rash of phone calls, texts and emails have flooded the North Pole in the past hour suggesting that Santa has launched and has been spotted already over major cities in Europe. These rumors are absolutely false. I’ve got a web cam in my office showing the dash of Santa’s sleigh…and it isn’t moving anywhere. […]
North Pole Navy Heads for Indian Ocean
/
With just four hours until Santa launches it appears nearly all phases of Operation Merry Christmas are coming together smoothly. In the past 12 hours Santa has successfully launched a navyand a sleigh craft carrier the size of a major city. Launching a sleigh should not be that big of a deal. Ships from the […]
Sleigh Traffic Jam Over Canada
/
Hundreds of sleighs are in transit over the skies of Canada. Many of them are headed for the North Pole but many others are headed for Jingle Bell 1. The situation has created a crowded sky high above the country of Canada at this hour. Unfortunately, because of cloud cover and a lack of lights […]
Preparing Santa’s Sleigh
/
The launch of Santa’s sleigh is about four and a half hours away. Final preparations for the sleigh are underway. We’ve received word that final preparations for Santa’s sleigh include the packing of food on board. Santa will have all kinds of food to choose from and so will the reindeer. “Folks give the reindeer […]
Secrets of the North Pole Sleigh Craft Carrier
/
We’re learning more and more about the sleigh craft carrier known as Jingle Bell 1. We know that it is designed in the shape of a Christmas tree, a clever idea that allows the carrier to launch and land multiple sleighs easily as well as lending a festive look to the huge vehicle. But it […]
