Good morning, Guam! Merry Christmas, Japan! Hello, Hong Kong! Greetings to Manilla, Beijing, Taipei! Hi, Singapore! Santa has a special message for you this morning of Christmas Eve: we need elves from your part of the world! Santa is needing reports of local conditions — the weather, hazards overhead, trouble in the skies, non-believers milling […]
Word from Santa’s Stables has just been received that Elf Victor has sent Santa’s reindeer to bed. If they fall asleep now they will get better than 8 hours of sleep before launching with Santa later tonight. Santa’s Stables are located way out west of the Claus compound and the workshop areas of the North […]
Elf Hugo says a lot of kids are emailing in questions about Santa and how OTHER kids like him and keep track of him. These are really good questions. The tradition of Santa varies from one place to another just a little. But nearly every country around the world tracks Santa these days. In fact, […]
For half the world, it’s Christmas Eve already. It’s midday in Samoa, it’s dawn in Japan, and it is just after midnight in East Africa — all enjoying December 24th. For the western world it is still December 23rd. But no matter where you are, even at the North Pole, the anticipation of Santa’s launch […]
A great debate has erupted at the North Pole and every elf here is engaged in it. Did Santa just deliver coal to North Korea? That is the big debate right now and it has elves here questioning what this means for Santa’s flight tonight. Officially, as Santa’s goodwill ambassador, I would tell you that […]
Santa launches in 12 hours and there are questions flying all over the North Pole. Why was Santa’s sleigh on a test flight in North Korea? What happened that caused Elf Vernon to lose an entire load of coal there? Is Santa really sending a message to North Korea? What does all this mean for […]
Elf Hugo tells me that kids are writing in with worried letters of deep concern for Santa’s launch and whether or not the blizzard at the North Pole will stall things. Let’s talk about that for a minute or two. Yes, the weather outside here is ridiculous. What makes it worse than anything is the […]
We have received official notice of a protest to the North Pole by the country of North Korea. Officials from that country are very upset and want to speak with Santa. According to reports from the Tracking Center there was what they are calling “an incident” that occurred a short time ago in North Korea. […]
It is Christmas Eve day in the deep South Pacific. Someone in that part of the world will see Santa first. We have reporters working in several locations and if you’re listening to Kringle Radio you can hear their live reports to the North Pole newsroom. The sun is up in places like Samoa and […]
As we continue to work the story of this surprise last minute test flight of Santa’s sleigh we have other news from the North Pole to report. We have reached that point of Operation Merry Christmas where the Wrapping Department becomes the final hurdle in getting things ready for Santa’s departure. If the workshop works […]
Another hour has passed and the Tracking Center remains locked to us. They just released a statement I can share: “The performance of Santa’s Sleigh especially these past few hours suggest that Santa will likely break long-standing speed records in his Christmas flight. The sleigh is performing well and we anticipate a smooth flight for […]
News coming from the Tracking Center indicates that Santa just brushed by the capital city of Iran in the last little while. Many people there love Santa but the Iranian military and government does not and many elves here at the North Pole are wondering why Elf Vernon is taking Santa’s latest sleigh into such […]
