Blitzen Appears to Be Feeling Better
With all the news coming out today and late yesterday about Santa’s reindeer I forgot to ask Elf Victor how Blitzen is doing. We reported last week that Blitzen had fallen ill at that time. No other reindeer got sick after him until Dasher went down so we all kind of forgot about it. “Blizten […]

Why Santa Drinks Milk with Cookies on Christmas Eve

Chaos at the North Pole With Christmas Eve Just a Week Away

Kids Urged to Use Stocking Mail to Get Letters to Santa
I hadn’t stopped by the mail room in a couple of days so I headed over there first thing this morning to see what was going on. I was happy to see that most of the mail bags had been emptied but there were still a few sitting around. I tracked down Elf Hugo to […]
