Hi. Joel here. At the Pole, as ever. Lots of confused elves running around here. Elf Roger’s announcement yesterday has thrown everyone into a tizzy. Some elves here didn’t come in to work. They aren’t mad. They just don’t know if they still do what they were doing before. So they stayed home, waiting to... Read more
As we enter a new year in tracking Santa for Santa we once again announce refinements to the tracker elf program that will help improve our efforts. This is our constant process as elves. Each Christmas we are evaluated in our performance. The purpose is not to get a grade or undue praise. The purpose... Read more
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... Read more
SantaTrackers.net will be remodeled in the new year. I had my first meeting with Santa today in his office and this was an item at the top of the list. The changes will be made with what Santa calls “organizational adjustments” to the Tracker Elf effort. Santa said he expects the look and feel of... Read more
The countdown to Santa’s launch now shows that 350 days remain until that big event. You would not know that is looking at the North Pole right now. Santa’s workshop is dark and locked up. There is minimal staffing at North Pole Flight Command. The reindeer are lounging at Santa’s Stables and elves are busy... Read more
Hey. Joel here. Remember me? Yeah, that guy who wrote ONE post like months ago and then disappeared? I'm back. Back at the North Pole. Back from life on the road with Santa. Back to a winter wonderland with nothing to do. I have not been at the North Pole during Christmas time for many... Read more
A new year begins in tracking Santa. While most of the world enjoys a day off on this first day of the year we find ourselves at the North Pole enjoying a period of reflection. January is always a time of looking back and setting new goals as we look forward. Before that process begins... Read more
Fellow Elves, It is my honor, duty and privilege to announce our Elf of the Year. This distinction comes to just one in the Tracker Elf Community for a reason - and that reason IS community. Out of all the elves who contribute to the efforts of Operation Merry Christmas none need community more than... Read more
North Pole Security closed their investigation into whatever happened with Santa's new sleigh in 2022. The sleigh was famously troubled when test flights began in July. The sleigh crash in test trials in August and suffered with various performance issues all year long. After the final troubled test flight on Christmas Eve, it was determined... Read more
Santa has taken a good, long nap - as have many others - and now there will be a round of post-Christmas parties to attend. One of the last of those parties this week will be a North Pole Flight Command. Once Santa and Mrs. Claus arrived at the North Pole, and the last of... Read more
Are you listening to Kringle Radio? Are you following the news from the North Pole at SantaUpdate.com? Santa is launching soon. It has been an eventful time the past several hours at the North Pole. I'm not sure what all this sleigh business means for tracking Santa in the hours ahead but you'll want to... Read more
The news of Santa's alternative sleigh choice for flight this year does not affect tracking Santa at all. Tracker elves are encouraged to stay focused and to listen closely to direction from their Elf Supervisors. Reporting needs MAY change, based on many factors. Weather, public events and other unscheduled and unanticipated elements can chance when... Read more
