The order has come in from Santa via Flight Command – Tracker Elves of Sector 2 can now stand down. That is our signal to call it a day. Santa, has given us our bedtime advisory.
You elves have been GREAT this year. It’s been a record-setting year for our sector and I am so proud of the work you have done to help Santa around the world!

I just talked to flight command. I told them I didn’t feel we were making the best use of all our elf resources in this sector. We have millions of new elves and you all should be put to work.
I was told to remind you that you can send any report at any time that you see fit.
Santa has launched from the North Pole and is on his way to Sector 1. We should see even faster news updates coming from this point forward.
We need a transit report from the major cities in Sector 2:
Flight Command has asked for a Ground Report in Sector 2:
Flight Command is asking for updated weather information from all areas of Sector 2. If we have any elves especially in Mongolia to step up, we have concerns there:
Ok elves of Sector 3 – Europe and Africa are now in the Red Zone. It’s Christmas Eve.
Let’s get to work!
Since it is mostly still the middle of the night here, I’m going to hold off for a while from requesting any reports.
Just know that when you get up the FIRST thing you should do when you log in is to submit an updated weather report for your area. That will save us all a little time.
Thank you all and Merry Christmas!
Hello and Merry Christmas, Sector 2 – we’re in the Red Zone! It’s Christmas Eve.
No reports are currently required in our sector. However, we’re on the clock now and a request can come at any time. Please check back frequently.
In the mean time, please get some rest. We have a long Christmas Eve day ahead of us!
Let’s see your best elf!
Attention all Elves: at the request of Santa himself, please take a selfie (if your parents are ok with it) in front of your tree, in your elf uniform (if you have one) or in your home tracking center and upload it as a photo submission report. Santa wants to see your smiling elf faces!
Again, this is for all elves in all sectors. Please send ASAP!!!
We will gather them and share them in a post sometime tomorrow on December 23rd both here and at SantaUpdate.com.
If you have issues using the report uploader for your email you can email it to st@elf.fyi.
Thanks!
Fellow Elves! We will begin the worldwide check-in process for working elves in 24 hours. We start with Sector 1 and move to Sector 5.
Please keep an eye on your Sector’s page. It should also post to the Elf Wall by Sector, just as any Elf Supervisor direction normally does.
Things are starting to pick up. It’s a good idea to be paying attention and checking the Sector page a few times each day, at least.
The check in process is NOT required. It’s just nice to do because it tells Flight Command you are on the job.
We are dealing with massive numbers of new elves. There are some problems because basic instructions are not being followed. Invalid email addresses are being used for tracker registration. Many new elves are not looking at the training material. Some just won’t commit.
We expected this, especially given the numbers we’re dealing with each day.
That is why the check in process is so important. It tells us you’re there, working, paying attention and following direction.
In a sector that has millions – like Sector 5 – only a certain percentage of those elves are going to do things that we need. We know this, we expect it. By checking in, we are better able to trust the information that is being submitted.
We have talked to the Elf Supervisors and North Pole Flight Command to ensure that only the most necessary information is asked for. We don’t want to over burden our hard working tracker elves with too many things to do.
Santa as well has directed that we keep things concise, specific and timely.
We will work to do so.
Have fun this week!
The Tracker Elf Conference is scheduled for this Saturday at 10am EST and it runs for two hours.
During these two hours we will hear/see presentations from the following Santa tracking experts:
As you can see, there are a lot of presentations to make. There will be a brief period after each presentation for questions. It would be helpful, however, if you could submit any questions you have ahead of time so that maybe answers can be put into the presentations (this saves time for everyone). You can submit them below:

Elf questions and answers are the topic of a new Santa Trackers Podcast just posted by Elf Frank Myrrh.
There are many new tracker elves joining our ranks and they have questions. In this new episode we take a stab at answering a few of those questions.
This biggest question in this episode come from Elf Frankie in England: What do I do if I see Santa in my house?
Frank and Crash do not necessarily agree with how to best answer this question. Crash thinks Frankie should say something and Frank — well, Frank just can’t handle it.
This episode also features a special message from Elf Crusader about the care and feeding of Reindeer.
Frank and Crash also discuss how to help young, talent elves develop in their elf careers.
