Little Things You Should Do Now
Greetings! I was reminded today that Christmas is sneaking up on people this year. Normally we have a solid five weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Not this year. I went to a Christmas preparation workshop this week and it has helped me a great deal. It was more of a workshop about Christmas in everyday, […]
Elves in a Decorating Frenzy
Hi all! Tis the season for decorating at the North Pole. You would think Christmas decorations are up all the time and in some places they are. But not everywhere.

New Answers from Elf Crash
Greetings! It is so nice to hear from so many of you. The past couple of weeks the emails and texts to the North Pole have really picked up. Perhaps the most common question I’m getting is “Ernest, when do you start the countdown to Operation Merry Christmas?”. I am aware many of you are […]
A Sleigh Debate at the North Pole
Greetings! With about 46 days to go until Santa launches a new debate has broken out at the North Pole: what sleigh design should Santa use this year? This was never supposed to happen. As you know, every year Santa flies a new sleigh. You see, each year Santa tries to set a new flight […]

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 […]
