Hello again from the North Pole News Desk,
I'm Elf Frank Murr of North Pole Radio News.
The Thanksgiving Day of Parade is starting
to get a lot of attention as is usual at this time of the year.
Joining us from Flight Command with news of that event
is Elf Crash, Murphy Crash.
Why would the Elf Parade be getting attention already
at North Pole Flight Command of all places?
It's the weather guys, Frank, they're stirring things up
with a long-range forecast
that heavy snow predicted for Thanksgiving Day.
Okay, I don't think that's a surprise, is it?
We usually have snow on that day for the parade?
Yes, but this year they're encouraging the Elfs
and the Parade to not bring their decorated bikes
and to bring their snowmobiles instead.
Is that not a good suggestion?
I mean, watching all of those Elfs on bikes,
trying to get up that big hill on Main Street in the snow
is, well, kind of pathetic sometimes Crash.
I know Frank probably better than anyone else
because I'm one of the more pathetic Elfs out there,
but they're messing with the beloved North Pole tradition here.
We love decorating our bikes and tracks for this event
and that trudge up the hill is kind of a challenge
and well, kind of a competition.
Did you know that there's this trophy that they give
to Yelf who makes the best time and those conditions up that hill, Frank?
No, I had no idea.
I thought most Elfs were just trying to survive it
and not actually win a trophy.
Have you ever taken that prize?
Oh heck, no.
The only thing I get at the top of the hill is oxygen.
Well, what's wrong with snowmobiles?
Nearly every Elf has one.
Can't they be decorated as well?
Well, yeah, they can, but there's not the issue.
But if we put Elfs out there on powered units like snowmobiles,
well, you know they're going to be racing
and that means chaos, Frank, plus snowmobiles aren't going to mix well
with marching bands and floats, Frank.
Mrs. Claus, she'd take it straight to San if the Elfs were out there
with anything motorized and that includes the e-bikes
and motorcycles and stuff like that.
I'm afraid the snowmobiles suggestions
can't have dead in the water, Frank.
Okay, Crash.
I hope they can figure all of that out soon.
The Thanksgiving Day Elf parade is becoming a worldwide event.
I know there are a lot of folks who look forward to it.
From the North Pole newsroom, where we just report the news
on Thanksgiving Day, I'm Elf Frank Murr reporting for Santa update.com
on the cringle radio network.
