This is a surprise: the first visits from Santa come from the point furthest away from his home: the South Pole. “Therea aren’t a lot of people there, much less a lot of kids,” Elf Billy said. “But they are important to Santa and this stop makes sense. It is about 1am on Christmas morning […]
Santa is deep in the South Pacific now, right about where you would expect him to be to make his first stops. Some years he delivers to ships at sea first and other years it might be New Zealand or perhaps even Tonga. We never know for sure until the first happy delivery reports come […]
It is still Christmas Eve in Australia…barely…so it might be a little too early for Santa to make a stop there. However, we’re receiving reports from tracking stations manned by elves in Australia that are hearing by way of military radio frequencies that Santa has been spotted on radar. “Indeed, I can confirm contact from […]
Spotters in Africa have called in to the North Pole surprised to see Santa at this stage in his flight. Normally Santa heads for the Pacific and then turns south but in order to test the speed capabilities of his new sleigh he turned East in the past hour and crossed North America, the Atlantic […]
Santa has taken the sleigh due East in a test run meant to push the limits of his new sleigh — and we’re pleased to announce that Molly (the name of the sleigh that Santa selected from our contest just a short while ago) is now the fastest sleigh ever topping speeds nearing the speed […]
Contact has been lost with Santa Claus as he crossed the Continental Divide of North America somewhere over the Canadian Rockies. Phone, radio, computer and video feeds all went down, both at the tracking center at the North Pole and via the monitors set up at the North Pole Christmas Eve party. Elf Quinton rushed […]
Santa Claus has just crossed the International dateline and is headed EAST over the Pacific ocean and towards the United States. This is a very unusual course for Santa and the Tracking Department doesn’t know what to make of it. “What is Santa doing?” Elf Billy said. He was calling me to see what Santa […]
Santa has started out the gate relatively slow in the past several minutes. He appears to be testing his systems on the sleigh. He has called in to Santa Central Command several times, using first the radio, then a cell phone, then a television feed and now he is testing computer data to see if […]
After a final walk around the sleigh, Santa climbed in and gave the reins a gentle tug. The reindeer started off running slowly but quickly gained speed and lifted off. Santa steered the sleigh to the left and waved down to the cheering crowd below. Then after two complete laps of the North Pole he […]
Every year Santa uses a new sleigh for his Christmas flight and every year he holds a contest to name the sleigh. The sleigh always has a girl’s name and Santa always selects the name he feels best fits the sleigh. He always waits until the last minute, when the reindeer are hitched to the […]
This news that Santa was up has unleashed a stampede to the Sleigh Barn. Folks are crowded all around inside the barn, up in the loft and around the perimeter of the building. It is a large building, capable of holding several hundred reindeer and several sleighs but at this hour it is filling with […]
Elf Victor just called to say that he just got off the phone with Santa. He’s awake and he wants the reindeer to get up and get ready. The Tracking Center is relieved to hear this news. The workshop and the wrapping department are not — both are continuing to work at this time and […]
