North Pole in Chaos as Christmas Approaches

Monday morning has dawned and things are very, very busy at the North Pole. My department here in Public Relations is about as busy as any department here right now. We have set up the newsdesk and are putting the pieces in place to broadcast the news of tracking Santa on Kringle Radio. We begin […]

Christmas Devotional Held at the North Pole

It is a busy, busy time at the North Pole but it is also Sunday, which means everything has stopped and all are resting today. “These are important days,” Santa said. “We have our biggest week of the year ahead of us. I want the whole team to rest today, eat well, spend time with […]

How to Become a Santa Defender

There are several popular elves at the North Pole but the one who gets more mail than any other elf (besides Santa) is Elf Ed Zachary. We haven’t talked a lot about Elf Ed this year. But he is always getting letters, answering questions and writing newspaper articles for the North Pole Gazette. Elf Ed […]

How Do You Deal with Non-believers?

From Victoria in the USA comes this great question: How do you deal with non-believers? This is a really good question because it is a problem even elves have.

As you know from following here and at TrackingSanta.net, Santa has had a tough go with this year’s sleigh. It seems like he has had trouble with it since early November. One kid — Josh, […]

When Will Santa Answer My Letter?

Hi ho! Merry Christmas! As we try to get through another snowy Saturday here at the North Pole I thought I would spend some time today answering some of the most common questions coming into the North Pole this week. Our first question comes from Hannah in France, who wants to know: How long does […]

Weather Knocks Out Power to North Pole

The weather has gone from bad to worse. We were dealing with lots of heavy snow, which we’re used to, but now the high winds that are howling outside my window have knocked out power to just about everything here at the North Pole. We’re on generators now until they can get it fixed. “We […]

Workshop Suffers From Delays

I bumped into Elf Bernard late last night in the North Pole cafeteria. He looked really worried. Santa’s workshop is more behind this week than it was last week. There are many problems. The glue shortage got resolved but then he discovered that the new glue wasn’t working on different things. It could close a […]
