We have seen a huge increase in kids who want to know where their “elf” is this year. For many, the “elf on the shelf” tradition has run for years. Every year, allegedly, an elf shows up in a home and plays tricks, moves around and does silly things until Santa comes. Some children claim […]
Have you noticed all the use of AI in everything right now? School teachers and college professors are beside themselves with how many students these days use ChatGPT or some other kind of “artificial Intelligence” to do their homework assignments. AI is being used in everything from buying tickets for shows or for transportation; to […]
Years ago I got my start in the news business quite by accident. I was working in the North Pole Post Office and there we received lots of letters that were not FOR Santa but were ABOUT Santa. They still get these kinds of letters. They were letters from kids with doubts. Or from people […]
The news coming from North Pole Flight Command this week has been a little rough. It has resulted in some questions coming from tracker elves – especially our freelance tracker elves. Everyone wants to do something to help. Helping begins by understanding the problem and that is what I want to explain today. ~ Operation […]
Elf Moe has been on a tear, banning elves almost as fast as they sign up. They get banned because they don’t really understand what it means to be an elf. We ask them to go to ElfHQ.com to learn the Elf Code and to take the Elf Oath. If they really understand those things […]
My friends in the news business who do not live and work at the North Pole often tell me I am lucky. And they are probably right about that. What they are talking about is the fact that sometimes being a newsperson of any kind can be hard. People get mad at us a lot. […]
I got a little note from an elf that concerns me. She writes: “Being an elf is boring. There’s nothing going on!” I think Elf Moe has dispatched her by now. She was stirring up some other trouble. Besides, if she cannot see all that is going on then she’s blind and should not be […]
Well, as you maybe have read, the stuff of getting settled on the Regional Tracking Centers is done. Some of you might be happy. They really took your suggestions seriously. I think a few of you might be pleasantly surprised. As for me, well, I couldn’t care less. I’m in the news business. Where things […]
Why was I even worried? I was scared witless over being assigned to the Regional Tracking Committee because it totally put me out of my elf comfort zone. I vowed to show up with a paper bag over my head. I could have shown up with lit sparklers in my ears for all it mattered. […]
I was recently given an assignment. I am in deep panic about it. You see, in my life as an elf I haven’t actually done anything. I’m not one of those elves in Santa’s workshop. Those elves have skills and can make things with their hands. I don’t know any elf over there who cannot […]
We were notified late Saturday that groups are popping up on social media for “Santa Trackers”. This isn’t anything new. But what is new is that some of these groups on Facebook, X, Snapchat and TikTok do appear to belong to some of our legitimate tracker elves. We want you to know that’s okay. We, […]
The real magic of Christmas is happening right now. Everywhere people have decorated, they are singing songs and anticipation is building for the biggest day of the year – Christmas! Santa is a very big part of it all. He is a bringer of gifts, yes. But more importantly, he is a bringer of joy. […]
