4 Months Until Christmas
Hi everyone! Today marks the 4 month mark until Christmas. Only four months until Santa flies! Unbelievable! You wouldn’t believe how much is happening now at the North Pole — even with Santa and Mrs. Claus heading out on vacation. Santa, as you know has been hard at work almost from the minute he returned […]
North Pole Stunned By Santa’s Announcement
A short time ago Santa finally made the big announcement we’ve been anticipating for over a week now. You can listen to how that all unfolded here at the North Pole via a special edition of the North Pole Podcast, heard right here on SantaUpdate.com. Santa wanted this announcement first to go to the elf […]
Santa Tracking Replay to Begin Soon
Well, we said last week there would be a big announcement and it just hasn’t happened yet. There is a good reason. Santa hasn’t been here and he’s the one making the announcement. Santa went water skiing last week with some family and friends, then he took off on a hike. He lost all track […]
Big Announcement Coming
Greetings, all! We’re gearing up for our Christmas in July celebrations. I have had some things planned to announce for months now but I just got word that something big and extra special is coming next week. In fact, the news is supposed to be so big the entire Kringle Radio news team is planning […]
6 Months Until Christmas
Hello, Merry Christmas and Happy Leon Day! It is now only six months until Christmas. It’s Leon Day weekend here at the North Pole and elves here could not be more excited. Leon, of course, is “Noel” spelled backwards so today is also Merry Backwards Day at the North Pole. That means we wear our […]
200 Days Until Santa Launches
Hey Everybody, Elf Max here with a brief update. There are only 200 days left until Santa launches from the North Pole. That makes today a very important day on the calendar. As Elf Ernest shared with you a few weeks ago, the Tracking Center at the North Pole is getting a remodel. But that […]
7 Months Until Christmas
Greetings from…somewhere that isn’t the North Pole. It is now just 7 months until Christmas! I write to you this month via my laptop as I am on vacation. I am vacationing in the beautiful country of Austria. (I encourage you to look that up on a map). My vacation has taken me to a […]
8 Months Until Christmas
Hi ho! Only eight months to go! Yes, Christmas is just around the corner. Don’t believe me? You should see the workshop up at the North Pole right now. We’re so busy it looks like Christmas Eve. Elves are everywhere. Toys are everywhere. Machines are noisily working, tools are grinding, buzzing and sawing, and all […]
9 Months Until Christmas
Greetings one and all! Today marks 9 months until Christmas Eve. Can you believe how quickly the time is going? Believe it or not, we are entering the dark days of Christmas for the year. Officially, between the middle of March through the first part of May, it is the “slow season” at the North […]
10 Months Until Christmas
Greetings! It is a bit of a sad day for us here at the North Pole. Today the reindeer begin their journey back to their homeland. Contrary to popular belief, reindeer are not native to the North Pole. (Few things are, not even penguins). Santa recruits reindeer from all over the world. There are many […]
11 Months Until Christmas
Greetings, friends! Just 11 months from today we’ll be celebrating Christmas Eve. I know that sounds like a long time to you. But for those of us here at the North Pole it does not feel so far away. Of course, there is a big difference between today and this day a month ago. Nothing […]
