Today is our final day off here at the North Pole before Christmas arrives. The day started off with Santa presiding over the Christmas Devotional at church this morning. It has become a tradition to have it on the last Sunday before Christmas every year. After the devotional was over we all moved to the […]
We have big troubles at the North Pole today. Everything seems to be happening at once and not much of it is very good. The news from Santa’s workshop continues to be pretty tough. We had a blizzard here the other day that knocked out power for a time. That isn’t really big news and […]
