North Pole Recovers From Wild Halloween Party to Start Christmas Decorating Posted by Elf Ernest on Sunday, 12th November 2006 at 3:05AM
The North Pole Halloween party is now behind us -- thankfully.
No doubt you remember a few years ago when Santa had to ban squirt guns from the festivities. He may have to do the same thing to cupcakes after what happened this year.
The Halloween party has many activities including a costume contest, an Elf limbo contest, bobbing for apples and, of course, the usually low-key cupcake decorating contest. Everything was going smoothly until an elf dressed as Martha Stewart (in pinstripes, of course) decided to play her role to the hilt and began instructing all the elves on the "proper" way to decorate a cupcake.
Most elves are already master cupcake decorators, as you know. After all, that is why we have a contest decorating cupcakes every Halloween.
So when one of the elves lost his patience with "Martha" and stuffed a fully decorated cupcake in her mouth things got a little testy. The pro-Martha crowd quickly turned over tables and took up battle positions and soon cupcakes were flying all over the room.
In the opposing group, a rather large elf dressed as Barney charged the elves tossing cupcakes from behind a table while yelling "I love you, You love me, we love cupcakes!". Several smaller elves used him as a shield and launched a vicious volley of cupcakes that sent the frosting flying in all directions.
But things came to a quick halt when Santa and Mrs. Claus came into the room to investigate the ruckus. Santa took a cupcake to the side of the head (it was in flight already and he walked right into it). That caused everyone to stop immediately what they were doing and things got very quiet.
Santa looked around for a moment -- sternly. Then he took a finger a lifted some frosting from off the top of his ear. He tasted the frosting and exclaimed: "Hah! I love chocolate!".
With that everyone gave a big sigh of relief as several approached Santa to apologize and promised to clean up.
Santa hasn't said a word yet about banning cupcakes from furture Halloween parties and everyone since then has been on their best behavior.
These weeks after Halloween are amongst some of my most favorite weeks of the year. While we look forward to Christmas and are working hard to make it happen we really get into Thanksgiving here at the North Pole. It is a bigger party than Halloween (but I don't think any one will be launching any cranberry bombs and looking for any flying stuffing).
During these weeks we decorate for Christmas. Elves love to put lights on their homes and decorations in their yards. In the next update, I'll tell you about our decorating contest here at the North Pole.
