The North Pole Command Center officially announces the final countdown to Santa’s launch 24 hours from now. Flight control reports all systems are go and conditions are good for Santa’s flight. “The next 24 hours are very important,” Elf Quinton said. “Santa’s sleigh is being prepared even as I speak. It is not quite ready […]
Our expanded coverage of Santa’s flight has begun. For the next 24 hours or until Santa launches you can expect a news update from the North Pole at least every hour as we count down the time for Santa’s launch. Santa has asked us for this extra effort this year in an effort to slow […]
Santa has returned home for a brief rest and to check on things as they are progressing. It may be the last time we see him before he launches in a little more than 24 hours. Mrs. Claus wants to get some last minute measurements from him so she can tailor his flight suit exactly. […]
Elf Hugo reports that activity is brisk in Santa’s Post Office. Letters “by the millions” are pouring in to Santa from all over the world. “We have faxes, emails, text messages, letters, packages, drawings, plates of cookies — you name it! They are coming in for Santa like never before.” Elf Hugo said. Santa admits […]
They are calling it “Operation Wrap-It-Up”. At this hour hundreds of sleighs pulled by thousands of reindeer are shuttling thousands and thousands of toys around the world to be wrapped and made ready for Santa to pick up on his Christmas flight. And it has Elf Agent X just sick with worry. “You guys don’t […]
Santa’s sleigh is still being prepared for his Christmas flight and one of the last details that gets decided upon is what to name Santa’s sleigh. Santa likes to give his sleigh a name before he takes off every Christmas and he wants your help in deciding what to call it. Remember, Santa prefers that […]
Elf Wally says he just can’t do it. The workshop is working at such a high rate of speed that the Wrapping Department cannot keep up. And he’s asking for help. This is not an uncommon thing. The Wrapping Department is hard pressed every year to get things done. As you all know, some times […]
The Tracking Center over at North Pole Command has indicated that there will soon be breaking news to report. I don’t have any details yet but perhaps this will explain the mystery of all the missing reindeer. And the missing Elf Victor. And the missing Elf Quinton. I can’t wait to find out what those […]
The North Pole Weather Center has issued a winter storm warning for later today through Christmas morning. “It looks like a classic Christmas blizzard,” Elf Billy said. “It will make things hard to watch when Santa launches but it won’t stop or slow him down at all.” The bigger question at this hour is what […]
I went to go see Elf Victor a while ago to discuss his plans for Santa’s reindeer before launch. Reindeer, as you know, are very skittish animals. That means they are very nervous. Elf Victor usually follows a very strict plan for preparing them for Santa’s flight. But I noticed that not only was Elf […]
The Wrapping Department at the North Pole is a huge mess at this hour. We kind of knew it would be. “It is hard not to feel worried,” Elf Wally said. “We got such a late start due to how things unfolded this year. We will go as fast as we can!” I asked Santa […]
