Big Scary Changes

It is a quiet time of year. It is a consequential time of year.

Last year, in January, we saw a lot of change happen. It took a lot of elves by surprise here at SantaTrackers.net.

Well, guess what? Surprise?

Change is happening again.

Only this time I’m not so sure elves are going to like it. By elves, I mean you. The tracker elves. The ones on this website.

Now, how can I say this?

Well, I won’t tell you everything. That’s because I cannot verify if all I am hearing right now is absolutely true.

And I’m all about the truth.

But I think Elf Roger is about to download some truth on elves in the tracker community.

He’s in his office with Elf Ernest, who is perhaps the best writer at the North Pole.

Actually, Elf Ed Zachary is the best writer at the North Pole but there’s no way Elf Ed Zachary is going to write the bombs that Elf Roger has to drop.

This has to be done carefully, which is why Elf Ernest is in there with Elf Roger.

What gives?

Changes. Big changes. Changes some elves might not want to hear.

I’m not going to even hint at them here. But I will tell you what the worry is.

Santa is worried that some feelings might be hurt.

He doesn’t want that.

He loves elves everywhere who track Santa for Santa, especially those who give a little extra of their time and efforts to be leaders.

But Santa had a real problem with some elves last year who frequent SantaTrackers.net.

Some elves took their jobs and positions at little more to the head than to the heart. Some elves took it upon themselves to tell other elves what to do. Other elves resented it and complained.

Some quit.

Others seemed to jump in, and started assuming authority. When an elf assumes authority they don’t have the possibility arises for things to go wrong.

Bad feelings follow.

Santa doesn’t like any of this. Not even a little bit of it.

When Santa doesn’t like things, things change.

And that’s what I’m talking about.

Now, I don’t know the details. But there is a reason Elf Ernest is in there. I’m telling ya. The news, er, the change is going to be significant.

Buckle up.
