Santa Launches!
Wow. Santa has left the North Pole for his merry ride! Just like that, it’s over. All that buildup and then, BOOM!, it’s done in a flash. Now comes the real fun. Here is how Santa’s launch was covered on Kringle Radio:
Santa Names the Sleigh
Moments ago Santa announced the name of his new sleigh. He has announced the sleigh will be called “Wanda” this year, based on a suggestion that came from a fan named Wanda in Canada. Seriously. I’m not kidding you. The guys over in the newsroom are going crazy right now. They just filed this report:
All Ready Now for Launch
With chants of “Let’s go Santa!” the crowd at the North Pole is urging Santa to get on with it. But Santa won’t be rushed. He enjoys this last minute routine of walking around the sleigh, checking every little detail and speaking to the reindeer. He also knows that right now, in many parts of […]
Reindeer Getting Ready
Santa’s reindeer have been welcomed with warm applause and cheers as they have been led into the Sleigh Barn. Elves are now working on getting each of them harnessed and hitched to the sleigh. Santa is there, helping and talking with the reindeer during this process. It won’t be long now. Meanwhile, on Kringle Radio […]
Santa’s Launch Just One Hour Away
The North Pole Christmas Party needs more eggnog. This seems to be the big emergency at the North Pole this year. I can’t believe what constitutes a big deal these days. But, as they are reporting on Kringle Radio, there might be a solution in place: Oh yeah, Santa takes off in about an hour.
Sleigh Bells Are Ready (That’s a Big Deal)
Santa’s sleigh bells are ready. That’s a big deal. The bells are critical to a good ride. The reindeer depend upon them to provide a critical rhythm when they fly. If one bell is out of tune, it drives them crazy and they can’t fly. The bells must be perfect. And the elves in charge […]
Two Hours Until Launch
Things are getting serious. With two hours to go you can feel the activity pick up. I was just talking with the elves over in Flight Command. They are just swamped, getting new reports from trackers around the world like crazy, even in Sector 5. Speaking of Sector 5, here’s an update of Elf Red […]
Snow Falls at the North Pole
Like clockwork, our Christmas Eve storm has arrived. I know we have been predicting good weather but it seems this storm has snuck up on us. Still, weather trackers here at the North Pole tell us this isn’t a very big storm and it should pose no problems for Santa or the crew at the […]
Crowds Gathering for Launch
The sleigh barn is packed. No, not with sleighs and reindeer. With elves…and their families. They are all there to witness the launch of Santa’s sleigh, now just a few hours away. They are packed in like sardines. Here’s a radio report describing the scene:
Santa Says He is Ready
Santa has not had a lot of rest. In fact, as of right now, he’s still meeting with children. Nevertheless, he’s saying he feels good, he’s rested and he is ready to go. Meanwhile, on North Pole Radio News they dealt with a non-believer in their last report:
Launch is Just Four Hours Away
You wouldn’t believe the buzz over at the North Pole. This is bigger than the Super Bowl. Elves here are just giddy with excitement that Santa’s launch is just four hours away. Every time a new hour ticks away on the clock here you can hear a cheer go up. Meanwhile, with just four hours […]
