Santa Test Flies New Sleigh

Elf Quinton rolled out Santa’s new sleigh for this year from the Sleigh Barn. It is an impressive sight — the most beautiful sleigh I have ever seen. The red paint was so shiny that it looked like it was actually emitting its own light. Even standing still it looks like it is moving very […]

Santa Opens the Reindeer Games

When people think of Santa’s reindeer they usually think of the nine members of Santa’s A-team. Most people don’t realize that Santa actually has thousands of reindeer that help at Christmas time.

I was shocked when Elf Hugo came walking into my office this morning with a cart that contained 22 bags of letters. We do get a lot of mail here in the newsroom but we’ve never had that much in a single day. When I asked about them Hugo laughed and said that they weren’t […]
