Greetings from the North Pole Newsroom.
I'm Elf Frank Murr of North Pole Radio News.
Today marks 100 days until Santa launches and it's getting interesting already.
Joining us from Flight Command with the latest is Elf Crash Murphy Crash.
With 100 days until Santa's launch, the big question on everyone's mind isn't really
about Santa or reindeer or slaves right now, it's Santa's workshop.
Are we ready to talk about this yet?
I know Frank, I'm getting the mail too and more importantly people here at the North
Pole are stopping me on the street to ask about it.
I think you're right, it's time to talk about what this really means.
Well, what does it really mean, Crash?
Have you been able to get a straight answer about just how far behind the workshop is?
Yeah, it's not great news, Frank, I hesitate to share it.
Rip off that band-aid crash, we owe it to the people to be upfront, loud and proud.
Let the truth shine.
100 days is a little more than three months, Frank, and the workshop has five, four months
of work ahead of it.
So, Santa's 100 days out, and the stuff for Santa's sleigh is better than, what, 150 days
would you say that?
I'd say that's a generous assessment, Frank, more like 175 days out.
Wow.
What does that exactly mean?
Well, it means you and I will be reporting a lot more frequently this year on the radio
and it means, you know, one other thing too.
What other thing does it mean?
It means you and I could end up in that workshop and the dead and I trying to screw heads
on dolls, Frank.
It's going to be in all hands on deck effort this year.
I can take it that right now.
Okay, Crash, I'll see if I can find my tool belt.
In the North Pole, where Santa launches in 100 days, whether he has enough toys or not,
I'm Ralph Frankmer reporting for Santa update dot com on the cringo radio network.
