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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Greetings! I know it is early for news of Christmas 2019 but, hey, I’ve got news! Santa is letting no grass grow under his feet. By his direction I am adding several new elves who will contribute to what you see here at SantaUpdate.com. I’m pleased to announce two “countmasters” to SantaUpdate.com — Elf Trixie, […]
Greetings! Santa called me into his office today. It is time for my annual review. Santa is always very kind. But I don’t mind telling you that having an annual review is never my favorite thing. I get so nervous! It is like having my report card read in front of my parents and my […]
Greetings! Today at the North Pole is when we have what we call the shortest meeting of the year. Santa gathers his senior elves in his office to review how Christmas Eve went and to discuss very briefly the calendar for next Christmas. Then Santa declares a period of time for rest and recharging, usually […]
In record breaking time Santa Claus returned to the North Pole to the cheers of family and friends after a nearly flawless execution of Operation Merry Christmas. Tired but very pleased with the effort, Santa saw to it that the reindeer were fed, groomed and given a nice meal before he retired to the Claus […]
