Santa Takes Charge of Operation Merry Christmas
After yesterday’s long rest Santa awoke early this morning and immediately called a meeting of Santa’s Council. Santa’s Council are all the department heads at the North Pole.

Santa Test Flies New Sleigh

Competitive Reindeer Games Show Talent
The annual reindeer games are in their fourth day here at the North Pole and the competition this year is pretty fierce. We several days remaining there are a number of young reindeer who could emerge as a new leader amongst Santa’s reindeer. When I went to visit Santa’s Stables a little while ago I […]
Wrapping Department Snafu Causes Chaos
A glitch in a system designed to mark wrapped presents has created chaos in the Wrapping Department at the North Pole.
