The annual reindeer games are in their fourth day here at the North Pole and the competition this year is pretty fierce. We several days remaining there are a number of young reindeer who could emerge as a new leader amongst Santa’s reindeer. When I went to visit Santa’s Stables a little while ago I […]
A glitch in a system designed to mark wrapped presents has created chaos in the Wrapping Department at the North Pole. Elf Wally says they cannot tell what is inside the thousands of gifts already wrapped and ready for Santa to deliver. “The entire barcoding system has crashed. All of the data is gone. Even […]
The Bah Humbug Virus is starting to hit the North Pole in a bad way. Empty work stations in Santa’s Workshop and more elves in the waiting room at the North Pole Health Clinic all speak to what is happening. Elf Bernard says production is a little behind in Santa’s workshop as a result of […]
Researchers here at the North Pole have concluded that the first week of December is the most popular week for people to set up and decorate their Christmas trees. It has also been our tradition, at Santa’s request, that we talk to you about your Christmas tree. This year I sat down with Elf Gloria, […]
When people think of Santa’s reindeer they usually think of the nine members of Santa’s A-team. Most people don’t realize that Santa actually has thousands of reindeer that help at Christmas time.

After hundreds of years naming the sleigh himself Santa started a new tradition a few years ago. He started asking the […]
Elf Quinton has been unusually secretive this year with his plan for Santa’s new sleigh. So I headed over to the sleigh department early this morning to see if I could get some hints out of him. When I arrived in the shop Quinton came running over and said “I’ve been wondering when you would […]
With Operation Merry Christmas underway Elf Dr. Spock is worried. It seems that several elves have come down with the Bah Hum Bug Virus and he is afraid that the number is going to grow. I sat down with him in his office a few hours ago to see exactly why the Bah Hum Bug […]
I was shocked when Elf Hugo came walking into my office this morning with a cart that contained 22 bags of letters. We do get a lot of mail here in the newsroom but we’ve never had that much in a single day. When I asked about them Hugo laughed and said that they weren’t […]
At exactly midnight North Pole time, Santa walked into the workshop to keep alive a tradition that started centuries ago. He walked over and removed the cover from the official North Pole countdown clock and pushed the button turning the clock on for the first time since last Christmas. Santa then hit the switch to […]
With full tummies and happy hearts folks were up early today at the North Pole to get Operation Merry Christmas 2012 rolling. Over at Santa’s Stables the day began in the dark as Elf Victor roused the A-team of reindeer into an early morning flight at 3am. “Reindeer love to fly mostly at night,” Elf […]
