Madagascar Reports!
Santa has blazed south into Africa for the first time, covering eastern coastal cities and Madagascar. He continues to keep a terrifically fast pace. Elf Billy tells me that Elf Hugo has been sent to fetch the A-Team of Santa’s reindeer from where Santa left them hours ago to rest. Elf Hugo will be picking […]
Santa Blitzes the Middle East
We’ve got reports coming in from all over the Middle East. Oman, Dubai, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Baghdad — cities, towns and entire countries are all reporting Santa’s visits. “We’ve got another new record!” Elf Quinton exclaimed. “Santa is moving faster than ever!” This is not unusual at this stage of Santa’s flight. In fact, many […]
Santa Visits Moscow
Santa headed back north and now we’re receiving reports from Moscow. Folks seem to be very happy there. Santa is working at a blistering pace. It is at this point every year where he seems to be everywhere at once. We wonder if Santa will be able to do that as well this year while […]
Instanbul Reports
Santa is back in his homeland of Turkey. The cities of Instanbul and Ankara have reported in the past little while that Santa has been there. From here Santa has a number of options. He can head into northern Europe or down into Africa. It will be interesting to see what he does. — Elf […]
Santa is in Iran
He’s flying high and he’s flying fast. And he has a military escort made up of free nations around the world and armed to the teeth. With him are sixteen sleighs from Elf Agent X’s department, which is charged with protecting Santa. When you hear all of that, you know that Santa must be in […]
Sri Lanka Reports!
Elves in the Tracking Department are expressing alarm at Santa’s current position — he’s all the way down in Sri Lanka. We have received multiple confirmations that Santa has visited there too, bringing a Merry Christmas to a number of people there. “I don’t know how he did that. He told us he was going […]
Santa Slows Down Dramatically
Santa has headed south and is making headway but his speed is noticeably slower. “Well, it is easy to see why,” Elf Quinton quipped. “He’s using a 1942 model sleigh. All the reindeer in the world aren’t going to make that relic go faster. It will get him where he needs to go and by […]
Santa Swipes Mrs. Claus’ Sleigh, Heads for Turkey
Santa got impatient waiting for the sleigh repair crew from the North Pole and loaded Mrs. Claus’ sleigh and hitched the reindeer to it and took off. Mrs. Claus is now stranded in Northern Russia with a sleigh that won’t fly. But have no worries, a rescue crew is on the way to help her. […]
Santa Still Grounded in Russia
Santa Claus is still on the ground in Russia. He’s eaten lunch with Mrs. Claus but is getting very anxious to get back in the air, citing concerns for kids in his home country of Turkey, for some reason. But Santa can’t fly right now due to a damaged sleigh. Elf Quinton has a team […]
Santa Reports Sleigh Problems in Russia
As Santa pulled into a frozen mountain meadow in northern Russia he called in to Elf Quinton to report a problem with the sleigh. Evidently he hit a tree coming in for a landing and didn’t see a cell phone tower sticking up in the middle of it. They often place cell phone towers near […]
Santa in Northern Russia
Santa is again up near the artic circle in Northern Russia visiting coast fishing villages and military outposts. We are hearing radio reports in the tracking center of communication between his sleigh and the sleigh Mrs. Claus left on just a short time ago. Apparently Santa will be stopping soon to lunch with Mrs. Claus. […]
