The Wrapping Department Gets a Lot of Help
Things are wrapping up quickly at the North Pole, so to speak. Hundreds of elves are flooding the Wrapping Department to help complete their work of the season. In one way, this is a good thing. The wrapping department has never finished this early before. In other way, this is not a good thing. Not […]
Christmas Party Hits a Snag
We have a problem that has come up at the North Pole Christmas Party, of all places. We seem to be running short on eggnog. This is the first real problem to report today. Well, this is the first real problem to report this week…or this month! Is this really a problem. Well, some elves […]
12 Hours Until Launch Time
The great countdown to Christmas has boiled down to just 12 hours. It is just 12 hours until Santa launches. The North Pole is so totally ready. Honestly, we could launch Santa right now if we wanted to. But Santa won’t let us do that. It’s still daytime in Sector 1. So we wait. Here’s […]
Santa’s Sleigh Needs a Name
Of the many details that goes into Santa’s flight one that does not get enough attention is the tradition of giving Santa’s sleigh a name. Santa loves naming things: elves, reindeer, his dogs, and, well, his sleigh. Every year just before he launches Santa declares the name of his new sleigh. It is always a […]

Weather at Launch Time Favorable
According to weather forecasters in the North Pole Flight Command Center the weather for launch time should be pretty good. Projected temperatures are expected to be about -5 degrees F with lightly falling snow and almost no breeze at all. You cannot as for better conditions than that. Everything seems to be falling into place […]
Lighter Air Traffic at the North Pole
Greetings! Air traffic control at the North Pole appears to be lighter for this time of the day and that has many elves talking. Without as many sleighs coming and going to and from the North Pole it feels a little funny for some elves. We don’t think it means anything in particular. After all, […]
Santa’s Sleigh Takes One Last Test Flight
Santa’s sleigh has just launched on it’s final test flight of this season. The final test flight of Santa’s sleigh is a North Pole Christmas Eve tradition. I honestly don’t think the sleigh needs this last flight, I’m sure it is just fine. I believe the final test flight is a way for all those […]
Anxious Reindeer Try to Get Rest
Greetings! With so much happy news breaking here at the North Pole there has been a serious side we have not yet talked about: Santa’s reindeer. Like everyone else they are listening to the news reports on Kringle Radio and the news has been so exciting that they just haven’t been able to get to […]
