Weather Updates Needed
Greetings from Kochi, India!
North Pole Flight Command has informed me that we have a lot of sleighs in the skies associated with Operation Airlift either here now or coming soon over the next 48 hours.
From those elves who are able we need fresh, updated weather reports from all trackers who are able to supply them from their locations EVERY 8 HOURS.
We can do this!
If you have any questions please post them below.
Thanks!
Public Observance Requested
Friends,
If you’re out and about this weekend please take some time to take a look around you. This request comes from Flight Command and they tell me it could lead to a Local Christmas Report, too.
Trackers in Greenland and South America Check In
North Pole Flight Command just issued the request for trackers in Sector 4 to check in. Let’s show them we’re ready to go to work!
Europe and Africa Trackers Check In
Whooooo! Sector 3, we can now check in, per Flight Command:
Tracking Santa 2024 – New Podcast
/
RSS Feed
Elf Frank Myrrh and Elf Crash Murphy converse as elves begin checking in around the world for Tracking Santa 2024. They discuss current events at the North Pole including the crisis with Operation Airlift and what it means for tracker elves.
A lot of time is spent answering questions submitted by tracker elves and there were many submitted. Details of how Santa flies and how to spot a flying sleigh in the skies is discussed in depth.
This podcast episode was produced on Saturday, December 21st, just as elves began checking in. It contains very timely information as the final hours until Santa’s launch countdown. We encourage elves everywhere to give it a listen.
Sector 2 Elves Please Check In
Sector 2, we have been summoned. North Pole Flight Command has authorized our sector for check. Please check in below:
Elf Check-Ins Begin Soon
As Elf Crash Murphy informed us the other day, Elf Check-Ins will begin early this year. Those hours of elf check-in are soon to be upon us. Very soon.
Your elf supervisor will post up a link of where to check in and when. It is important that Elf Check-ins happen by Sector. That means when Elf Randi in Sector 1 calls for check-ins that only elves in Sector 1 actually check in. The rest of you need to wait until YOUR elf supervisor calls for your sector to check in.
Generally speaking while there is a set time to begin check-ins there is no set time that check-ins end. So even if you show up later than when your Elf Supervisor calls for check-ins, it’s okay.
The Elf Check-in process is crucial because it tells North Pole Flight Command that you are working at that you are available.
Given the weather issues at the North Pole and the uncertain nature of Operation Airlift, there is no predicting this year what your Elf Supervisor might need from you. So be careful when you check in to be accurate in sharing your availability.
Check-in also means you need to be checking back on your sector news page often for news and direction from your Elf Supervisor.
Submit Questions for Elf Crash
Elf Crash Murphy, International Director of Santa Trackers, has informed me that a lot of effort will be made before Santa launches to answer your questions.
There will be the North Pole Chat on Sunday at 10AM EST as well as late news being posted on all official North Pole websites all weekend. Crash also says he and Frank will do a podcast that focuses on the current needs Santa has as well as the questions you might have.
Please respond to this post below with questions you want to submit. You can alternatively send them to me via Private Message (for North Pole Elves part of the Elf Community).
We want to take questions from ALL tracker elves tracking Santa for Santa, so please use the comment area below to ask.
I think Elf Frank and Elf Crash plan to release that podcast sometime on Saturday, so you’ve got plenty of time to ask your questions.
Thanks!
Schedule Change Announcement
Due to circumstances related to Operation Airlift we have decided to move up the check-in process worldwide.
Check-ins will be announced via your Elf Supervisor beginning on Saturday, December 21st instead of our original plan of the 22nd.
Tracker Check-in is a process that tells your Elf Supervisor that you are or are not available to work tracking Santa for Santa.
We remind you that Santa is very concerned for your time with your family during this important season. As such, do not feel bad if you cannot be available all the time between the 21st and when Santa arrives at your home.
We appreciate what time you can dedicate to the cause of tracking Santa for Santa.
It is anticipated that this weekend will be filled with news and direction from the Elf Supervisors.
We invite you to participate, if your schedule allows, in the scheduled North Pole chat set for Sunday, December 22nd. I will be hosting that chat and will be able to share and answer questions about the latest in the status of Operation Merry Christmas.
Operation Airlift is off schedule. North Pole Flight Command has had to modify their original plans due to difficulties in getting sleighs launched from the North Pole.
As such, we anticipate this weekend will be filled with a lot of breaking news. We may be asking for reports or observations from local areas that go beyond the norm.
If time allows, Elf Frank and I will likely release a new SantaTrackers.net Podcast to discuss issues this weekend as well.
I encourage you all to read what Elf Ed Zachary posted earlier today. It may help you understand the challenges we are facing as a team in helping Santa get around the world.
As for Santa, he is well aware of the situation and is monitoring things. He plans to continue his visits with believers. At this time, he does not plan a return to the North Pole at a different time than scheduled. He continues to check in with Elf Roger Star on the status of Operation Airlift.
Santa has instructed me to check in with him every 12 hours. Those quick check-ins are by phone and I remain ready to not only forward our questions and concerns to Santa but also to receive his direction.
I will be posting as needed over the next several days so that you know what is going on and how you can help during this time.
Thank you.
When Santa Flies
/
RSS Feed
Things that happen when Santa flies is the topic of a joint podcast between SantaUpdate.com and SantaTrackers.net.
Elves Frank Myrrh and Crash Murphy discuss the details of things that happen when Santa is delivering. Elf Crash famously follows Santa every Christmas Eve, sharing news of his journey on the Tracking Santa Around the World Radio Show on Kringle Radio, which is heard in more than 150 countries around the world.
This special episode takes a deep dive into why Santa needs tracker elves to track Santa for Santa. It also wanders into the wish list of Elf Crash and why he thinks Santa will bring him something that he knows Mrs. Claus doesn’t want him to have.
Ideas are explored, such as how Santa gets a bicycle down the chimney, plus lots more.
Don’t miss this episode!
Weather Becoming a Focus
As you can see from the news out of Santa Update today the weather is becoming more and more of a focus. I know it may seem boring and tedious to some of you but we really need some regular weather updates from every area. Here’s the link to the weather report.
The frequency of weather reports, due more to Operation Air Lift than Santa’s flight right now, should be about three days or whenever there is a shift in your local forecast.
If you listened to Elves Frank and Crash today you can tell they are concerned. The concern is 10x at Flight Command and next week is going to be super busy in the skies, if they can get the sleighs off the ground.
To me, after years of experience doing this, I sense they are going to need more from us than normal.
You can expect calls for landing zone reports, transit reports and air traffic reports. It’s coming I can feel it.
For those elves who are new and have not done it, please get your roof reports and chimney reports in first thing.
It’s crunch time, elves.
