Stocking Mail is NOT for Tracking

November 28, 2023/6 Comments/in Tracking News, Christmas Newswire, Elf Tips, Santa Tracker Herald Star, Sector 1, Sector 2, Sector 3, Sector 4, Sector 5/by Elf Ed Zachary

At some point in the upcoming weeks there will be a conversation over at SantaUpdate.com about Stocking Mail. It usually generates confusion.

Unfortunately that confusion starts here in the tracker elf community.

So we wanted to put something out about it now so that mistakes can be avoided in the weeks ahead.

The North Pole Post Office is charged with getting Santa his mail, no matter where he is and no matter what date, time or place it may be.

Most of the time that is best handled online. Yes, many still write hand-written letters. But as time and technology has advanced messaging for Santa comes in many forms: texts, emails, messages, faxes, etc.

Several years ago the North Pole Research and Development Department invented a ground-breaking new messaging system we call Stocking Mail. When implemented the system uses a Christmas stocking as kind of a portal. If a note is put in the stocking at the right time when the system is engaged that message gets transmitted to the North Pole Post Office and thus to Santa.

Pretty cool, right?

Well, here’s what you need to understand about it.

It’s not perfect. It can only handle paper. If things are written on plastic or cloth or something else it doesn’t work. Some have tried to send Santa other things via stocking mail, like cookies or food for the reindeer. That stuff doesn’t work either. In fact it all gums up the system.
It only works when the system is turned on. Turning it on is a complex process that requires special facilities, lots of technical equipment and thousands of elves. For the reason, it only gets turned on for a brief period of time each year. Usually, when Elf Hugo contacts Santa to say that time or other resources are running low to keep other messaging options flowing, that is when Stocking Mail is activated. It does not get activated until and unless Santa approves it.
Stocking Mail is NOT for transmitting any kind of information except messages for Santa. It could be a wish list or some sort of note for Santa – but that’s it. It is NOT for sending tracking information for Flight Command. Don’t do it. They will never see it. You must communicate with North Pole Flight Command as directed at SantaTrackers.net.

We want all tracker elves to know and understand the proper use of Stocking Mail. You should be prepared to explain it to “normies” out there when it is activated come December 23^rd and December 24^th.

Of course, the News Department at the North Pole will do their part in trying to communicate how it all works. But you know that people don’t read everything we put out. Sometimes you just have to tell them.

Stocking Mail is most useful for the little ones. They will frequently change their minds about what they want for Christmas. Or, they will remember something at the last minute that they just want Santa to know. This is why Stocking Mail was invented.

If properly used and implemented, Stocking Mail will transmit information to Santa from any stocking anywhere in the world directly to him, even while he is on the sleigh. Frequently, Stocking Mail isn’t even utilized until Santa has taken off from the North Pole.

Have questions? As them here, in the comments below or on the Elf Wall. We want everyone to understand this.

New Sector Lead

November 25, 2023/4 Comments/in Sector 3, Elves in the News, Tracking News/by Elf Rolf Janssen

We are so very pleased and excited to announce that we now have a new lead elf in Sector 3 – Elf Frosty McSnowflake!

Elf Frosty in just three years as a tracker has been elevated to this position thanks to an ever present effort, a cheerful disposition and helpful abilities with elves of all types.

A Sector Lead elf functions as a leader in the sector. As lead Elf Frosty will share news, train new elves, and advise the Elf Supervisor in times of need. Occasionally it may be necessary for the Sector Lead to help recruit new elves, to advise Flight Command and to communicate critical and urgent issues to other elves.

Elf Frosty will also automatically be joined to the group of Senior Elves who work to keep the Elf Community on Santa Trackers.net on track.

We are grateful for Elf Frosty McSnowflake’s example and willingness to serve!

Claim the City Captain Job

November 16, 2023/1 Comment/in Tracking News, Christmas Newswire, Sector 1, Sector 2, Sector 3, Sector 4, Sector 5/by Elf Sandy Claus

Any elf can be City Captain for the city, town or village where they live. You just need to claim the job. You can do this at the City Captain Job page.

A City Captain Elf is responsible for representing the geographical operations of the North Pole in the city in which they live.

As such, they may be contacted by the North Pole to assist in leading Operation Merry Christmas for Santa Claus and the North Pole in the months, weeks and days leading up to Christmas.

The City Captain assumes responsibility for local recruiting efforts of new elves and in communicating, training and executing elf operations locally.

Santa would like as many city captains as possible.

As City Captains claim the jobs I will post announcements about once a week between now and Christmas. We will also work with Elf Max to see that points and badges are set up in your profile.

If you have questions please post in the comments below or on the Elf Wall.

Thanks!

Personal Tracker Reports

November 14, 2023/3 Comments/in Tracking News, Christmas Newswire, Sector 1, Sector 2, Sector 3, Sector 4, Sector 5/by Elf Crash Murphy

Personal Tracker Reports are reports about you. The Elf Supervisors use your submitted information.

As I was in Norway this week dealing a little bit with the situation with Sector 3 Elf Rolf showed me a big wall of pictures of tracker elves. That’s what he does with the Elfie Selfies you send him. He puts it up on his wall and labels each picture with your elf name.

In talking with all the Elf Supervisors this week I learned they all use the information you submit differently. But they all use it.

They also all said we don’t ask often enough to have that information update. So that’s what I’m asking for today.

When you get an opportunity, please send in all three of these reports (they are linked below):

1. Elf Status Report – this tells us your availability. You should update this as your situation changes between now and Christmas.

2. Elfie Selfie – this is a picture of you, hopefully in front of your Christmas tree, your Santa tracking map or at your home tracking center. The Elf Supervisors LOVE these pictures. Make sure your parents/guardians/wife/mother/significant other are okay with this.

3. Home and Family Report – this is a report shared with Santa, out of concern for all you live with.

None of these are **required**. But it sure is nice to have them.

Ask any questions you have in the comments below.

Thanks!

Sector 3 HQ in Iceland Suspends Operations

November 13, 2023/3 Comments/in Tracking News, Christmas Newswire, Sector 3/by Elf Harold Star

After consultation with Icelandic authorities and after meeting with a senior team of elves in North Pole Flight Command, Santa Claus today authorized the suspension of operations at the Regional Tracking Center located in Vik, Iceland.

The move comes out of “an abundance of caution” due to recent volcanic and earthquake activity in Iceland.

For more information of the changing situation in Iceland surround this natural event, please see this link: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/iceland-evacuees-brace-volcanic-eruption-2023-11-13/

“We are not and have not been in any danger,” said Operations Director for the Vik facility, Elf Gretchen Green. “The government of Iceland still wants us here and hopefully the situation will stabilize before Christmas so that operations can return to Vik.”

The Regional Tracking Center in Vik, Iceland coordinates flight operations for Santa, collects tracker reports, weather information and other vital data used in Santa’s flights for all of Sector, which covers all of Europe and Africa.

Elf Roger Star, Director of North Pole Flight Command, outlined the plan that will take place over the next five days:

1. Elf Supervisor Rolf Jannsen and his senior operations team will move to a temporary location set up in Renn, Norway. Support teams from Flight Command are assisting Rolf to be operational by Saturday, November 19th.

2. Some elf specialists from the Vik team have been temporarily re-assigned to the Regional Tracking Centers for Sector 4, in San Nicolas, Aruba and for Sector 5, in Cold Lake Canada. They will continue their work, mostly related to multi-lingual operations, reporting and data analysis, until the Norway facility is fully open for business.

3. Elf Supervisors in Sector 4 and Sector 5 – namely, Elf Tubby Ryder and Elf Pinky Yates – will assume communication and operations authority while Elf Rolf gets the Norway Facility open.

4. The SS Donner, a support vessel of the North Pole Navy, will stay anchored between Iceland and Norway to assist with communications and logistics.

5. A small dedicated team will remain in Vik to secure the facility and to run minimal operations. If ordered to evacuate by local authorities they are equipped to do so quickly and safely.

All of these operations are being coordinated to keep Tracker Elves in Sector 3 working.

“We believe Tracker Elves can continue reporting, whether they are freelance or remote North Pole elves, without interruption,” said International Director of Santa Trackers, Elf Crash Murphy. “In fact, it is critical that they do not stop reporting. We need weather reports ongoing. With winter quickly settling in up North, chimney inspections are crucial. Test flights for Santa’s sleigh are headed for Europe soon and we need eyes on the skies. We appreciate all Santa, Elf Roger Star, North Pole Flight Command and the North Pole Navy are doing to keep us rolling.”

Tracker Elves, especially in Sector 3, are encouraged to keep a very close eye on Sector news pages and Elf Wall announcements from any of the Elf Supervisors for at the least the next five days.

This is a developing story, with updates soon coming to NorthPoleFlightCommand.com, SantaUpdate.com and SantaTrackers.net

Local Christmas Report Needed

November 11, 2023/2 Comments/in Sector 3, Christmas Newswire, Tracking News/by Elf Rolf Janssen

Good afternoon, elves of Sector 3!

First of all, we have been fielding some questions about the earthquakes and volcanic activity near to us at the Regional Tracking Center here in Vik, Iceland.

I want to assure you that we are safe. Elf Roger Star of North Pole Flight Command dispatch a team of specialists and emergency personnel to monitor the situation since it became apparent earlier this week that a major event is happening in Iceland. So far, the Regional Tracking Center here remains operational. If a need to move comes the decision will be made under the direction of local government. We are ready for anything that might happen.

In the meantime, we remain hard at work in preparing for Santa’s flight in our Sector.

We have been asked by North Pole Flight Command – sector-wide, so all of Europe and Africa – to send in a current Local Christmas Report as soon as possible (within 10 days).

This is not an unusual request and it likely will not be the last time it will be requested of us.

Also, we have been informed that the test flights of Santa’s sleigh will be over our sector some time later this month. I don’t know dates yet but will let you know when I know.

Thank you!

Special Instructions for All Trackers

November 10, 2023/5 Comments/in Tracking News, Christmas Newswire, Sector 1, Sector 2, Sector 3, Sector 4, Sector 5/by Elf Crash Murphy

Hello, Trackers – Crash here.

I wanted to give you an update on some things and to provide some instruction of things we can be doing between now and Thanksgiving.

1. Elf Chat with Santa – the chat with Santa and I will be held Saturday at 11am EST in Elf Chat at SantaTrackers.net. It is important that you remember what this chat is for: it’s for elf business. It’s for tracking Santa for Santa. It’s NOT for asking Santa for things for Christmas or about his favorite cookies or about why you didn’t get what you wanted for Christmas. We need to all be ready to talk about our jobs as elves, what Santa needs for his flight and exactly what is most important about Tracking Santa for Santa this year. That being said, I don’t want you to be shy in asking questions. But ask about stuff in your elf life, not your normal life.

2. Roof Reports – We’ve talked about this before but I just wanted to remind you. One of our most basic tracker reports is the roof report. Elf Roger at North Pole Flight Command tells us the time in getting short and we need to get these in as soon as possible. Report on roofs that you can see all around you. Only do it from the ground. Take pictures if you can. Be as thorough as possible. Be prepared if someone from North Pole Flight Command contacts you to ask questions.

3. Account Activity – Elf Moe and team are doing a great job making sure only North Pole Elves are on SantaTrackers.net community features such as the Elf Wall. They’ve got a mandate from Santa. If you’re new, get your profile and Elf name in line. There are lots of elves around to help you. Inactive accounts are getting deleted all the time. By this point in the year you should be logging in at least once a week, if not more. If you don’t your account could be deleted.

4. City Captains – I am pleased to announce a new process for those wanting to be a City Captain. To be a City Captain all you will need to do going forward is to claim it for the city or town you live in. Elf Sandy will soon be posting a new form that will allow you to do it. Elf Resources will check to make sure nobody else has already claimed it, but this move should more or less clear up the log jam for this elf job.

5. Other Elf Jobs – we want to fill the Country and State/Province Representative positions right away. Please apply if interested.

Between now and Thanksgiving there may not be a lot of instruction coming from me or the Supes. That’s by design. After Thanksgiving is a different story.

Please check in often, elves.

Thank you.

Alert for All Elves in All Sectors

October 29, 2023/3 Comments/in Tracking News, Christmas Newswire, Sector 1, Sector 2, Sector 3, Sector 4, Sector 5/by Elf Crash Murphy

Attention all Trackers: In a conversation this morning with Elf Roger Star, Director of North Pole Flight Command, he referenced this posted news at North Pole Flight Command.

Flight Command is working to meet Santa’s requests for changes to the sleigh. It will require some assistance from us over the next couple of days. If you can report from your local area to meet this need it would be very helpful.

The sleigh will be made lighter, which will require re-testing it in certain weather conditions. While it is anticipated that the changes Santa wants will not result in performance problems with the sleigh Elf Roger wants to erase any doubts by putting the sleigh through some rigorous testing in adverse weather conditions. To do that, they need to know where severe weather may be in the forecast over the next few weeks.

They are asking all trackers to research weather forecasts for any severe weather events – it can be rain, snow, wind, hail, tornados, blizzards – anything extreme.

Their plan is to put the modified sleighs – some loaded, some not – directly in the path of as much severe weather as they can find.

I have already alerted the Elf Supervisors to this request. They may be posting specifics to their sector over the next 10-days or so. The goal is to get enough flights tests done in these areas over the next three weeks to discover performance issues and make adjustments.

You can help by:

1. Checking your local weather DAILY.

2. IF there is any sign of extreme weather forecast for your area, copy and paste a weather link in the weather report form and send it in.

All staff at the Regional Tracking Centers are working on this too and will be looking for your reports.

Keep It Close to Home, Elves

October 19, 2023/1 Comment/in Sector 3, Christmas Newswire, Tracking News/by Elf Rolf Janssen

Unsettling world events have caused many elves in Sector 3 to express concerns for the upcoming tracking season.

Yes, this could affect our efforts. The safety and well-being of our elves, of Santa, the sleigh and the reindeer are of utmost importance.

That is why, at this time of heightened concern, we ask that ALL reporting within Sector 3 stay confined to the immediate area around your home and in the direct supervision of your parents or guardians.

That being said: the most important reports needed from Sector 3, especially in areas to the North are:

1. Roof inspections
2. Chimney inspections
3. Weather reports

We would like but DO NOT require local Christmas reports at this time. If you are out and about in the safe company of your family, by all means, please share what you see locally. But do not venture out to do these reports at this time.

We are monitoring the situation closely and will be providing further direction as events unfold.

Stay safe, elves!

Getting Your Elf Profile Right

October 19, 2023/3 Comments/in Elf Tips, Sector 1, Sector 2, Sector 3, Sector 4, Sector 5, Site Support, Tracking News/by Elf Moe

Fellow Elves in the Service of Santa,

We’re getting busier. With new elves comes a bit of chaos. There are questions and concerns. I appreciate the help of elves who have been here in years past to help bring the new elves up to speed.

As we work with new elves I’m asking ALL elves to please do the following:

1. Update your profile. To do that, go to “Elf Profile” under the login button at the top.

2. On the submenu bar click on the down arrow on the right and select “Profile Settings”:

3. On that page select the green icon for “Profile Avatar”. This is the little picture that represents YOU. Every elf needs an avatar. If you can’t find one or don’t have one, please let me or Max or really anyone know, we’ll help you get one.

4. Once that is set up go to the pink icon on the Profile Settings page. This is the “cover” for your profile – the long horizontal picture that serves as the background on your profile header. That image needs to be larger than 1350 px wide and at least 350 px tall. Again, if you don’t have one, let me know and we’ll help you get one.

5. Then go into the Elf Info area and add the word “Elf” in front of your name. For example, my name is Moe so my elf info says “Elf Moe” in the name field. Every elf MUST have the word “Elf” in front of their name.

If your profile is not updated to these specs before Sunday October 22nd your account will default to “retired”, which limits your site access. You don’t want that if you want to be active tracking Santa for Santa in the months ahead.

Retired accounts CAN be restored within 90 days. But to restore it you need to be prepared to get your elf profile in line with the above.

Retired accounts are deleted after 90 days.

This is just elf business. It’s nothing personal. Santa likes a tidy house and this just helps keep things in order.

If you have any questions, please ask. We’re here to help.

Transcript of the Elf Supervisor Chat

September 17, 2023/3 Comments/in Chat Recap, Christmas Newswire, Sector 1, Sector 2, Sector 3, Sector 4, Sector 5, Tracking News/by Elf Max

Elf Crash Murphy and several of the Elf Supervisors met in Elf Chat to answer questions of the elf community. This is a transcript of their conversation:

Elf Max	Trying to get the supes in here now….they don’t know what to do!!!
Elf Chocolate Snowflakes	yes
Elf Pinky	Hey!!!
Elf Ulan	Yeah, Elf Max
Elf Ulan	Hello, Elf Pincky!
Elf Ulan	Elf Pinky!
Elf Max	Ok, from what I can see….we have Elf Randi from Sector 1 here…
Elf Chocolate Snowflakes	hi pinky
Elf Max	Elf Rolf from Sector 3
Elf Max	Elf Pinky from Sector 5
Elf Max	Crash is here….
Elf Ulan	Hello, Elf Randi!
Elf Max	We’re missing Elf Tubby from Sector 4, who has internet issues
Elf Max	And Elf Clif, who can’t make it.
Elf Ulan	Hello, Elf Rolf!
Elf Max	Crash, did I miss anyone?
Elf Ulan	Hi, Elf Crash! XD
Elf Rolf Janssen	Hello everyone
Elf Crash Murphy	I think we are good to go
Elf Randi Hume	Hi everyone!
Elf Max	Ok, everyone…lots of people here, I’ll do the best I can to keep order
Elf Max	We want this to be a very open chat
Elf Max	We’ll try to take it one at a time, but we want you guys to ask your questions. The supervisors as I understand it do NOT have an agenda. This is all about your questions.
Elf Max	So…that being said….who has a question?
Elf Crusader	I do.
Elf Max	Ok, fire away
elfbubbletea	hey guys!
Elf Crusader	Elf Pinky, if an elf moves, do they have to reapply for a city captain position
Elf Max	Go ahead, Crusader
Elf Crusader	Or any position
Elf Pinky	Good question, Crusader. We should talk about it, yes. We don’t want to kick someone out. I heard you were moving
Elf Crusader	Is my question not showing?
Elf Crash Murphy	City Captain is very location specific. So move to a city where there is no City Captain, Crusader
Elf Ulan	Elf Randi, how are my reports so far? I want to know what weather report you need, wind, temperature, etc.
Elf Crusader	I am ma’am. To Iowa
Elf Randi Hume	Elf Ulan. Your reports are excellent. The biggest help in reporting the weather right now is the forecast for the next couple of days. With the sleigh in our sector right now, it helps
Elf Max	Great questions!
Elf Chocolate Snowflakes	elf pinky what is your favorite thing about Christmas time?
Elf Pinky	I heard all the elves in Sector 3 are shorter than 5’2″. Is that true?
Elf Crusader	Crash, what do you expect of us this year?
Elf Pinky	I love tracking Santa. It’s my life, Elf CS
Elf Rolf Janssen	No, that’s not true, Pinky. I hear all the elves in Sector 5 wear pink.
Elf Crash Murphy	I’ll hold off on answering that for now, Crusader. I think Elf Pinky should answer that
Elf Pinky	I hope they do, Rolf!!!
Elf Crash Murphy	You two….
Elf Crusader	Pinky, what do you expect of sector 5 this year
Elf Pinky	Expectations? I would expect our elves to be present and paying attention. Ready for anything
Elf Pinky	For the record, we’re in good shape right now. Right on target
Elf Ulan	Thank you, Elf Randi. So I can keep my style. Do you need to send the report tomorrow or Tuesday this time?
Elf Pinky	October is going to be a busy time for us
Elf Crusader	Do we know when Santa will be home?
Elf Randi Hume	Elf Ulan, I prefer the weekly reports any time on Tuesday
Elf Crash Murphy	No clue about Santa, Crusader. People are starting to talk.
Elf Max	Pinky, when is the best time to send in chimney inspections?
Elf Pinky	That’s an October thing, Max. Early enough to still have good weather but late enough for the information to be current for Santa
Elf Ulan	Elf Randi, thank you! I’ll send it on the regular day. How about the local Christmas reports I send?
Elf Max	Is Sector 5 still the biggest one in terms of numbers of elves?
Elf Pinky	Yes, by far.
Elf notJack	I have a question for Elf Pinky
Elf Pinky	Go ahead, Jill
Elf Pinky	Sorry, Elf NotJack
Elf Chocolate Snowflakes	wow that’s alot of elves here in sector 5
Elf notJack	Uhh
Elf notJack	Okay so, I’m not quite sure what I’m supposed to be doing right now in terms of reports could you explain your expectations?
Elf Crash Murphy	If you wanna get under Pinky’s skin, just call her Red
Elf Rolf Janssen	Hey Red!
Elf Crusader	How am I personally doing so far pinky?
Elf Pinky	Report expectations are pretty light. I’d like to see a weather report once a week right now, just to help with test flights
Elf Pinky	We want as well to be sending in reports that notes BIG changes locally since last Christmas
Elf Chocolate Snowflakes	I have a question for pinky
Elf notJack	Okay thank you!
Elf Pinky	Also, any upcoming road construction would be great to note as well
Elf Pinky	But I’m not asking for a ton of specifics right now, that changes after Oct 1 or if I get something new from North Pole Flight Command
Elf Crash Murphy	Guys, as me that question at the end of the chat….
Elf Ulan	Elf Randi, please tell me about the Local Christmas reports. My area is still very quiet, and my reports are okay or not
Elf Crusader	Am I still sector lead?
Elf Chocolate Snowflakes	where i live don’t have an chimney and the area of where i live doesn’t’ have chimneys either what do i do if you call a chimney report?
Elf Randi Hume	It is quiet in many areas, Elf Ulan. But things are changing quickly. I’m noticing in my travels a lot more Christmas out there. Online and offline, people are talking a lot more about Christmas
Elf Pinky	GREAT questions Elf CS. If you have no chimneys just don’t send in a report. No need to confuse things by reporting on something that isn’t there. This is a common thing.
Elf Crusader	What if there’s no test flight in your area?
Elf Max	Will we have the same Sector Lead in Sector 5 as we did last year? (Sorry, Crusader)
Elf Pinky	Yes, Crusader is our Lead
Elf Crusader	No problem max
Elf Rolf Janssen	The test flights are more in your areas than you know. There are 12 sleighs flying out there. They aren’t always together
Elf Randi Hume	We sure have a lot of flights in Sector 1 right now
Elf Ulan	Elf Randi, thank you, I’m looking forward to changing the time, we will see when it happens!
Elf Max	How much do the test flights matter, Pinky?
Elf Pinky	They are great for training. It feels kind of low key because those flights are going so well. They don’t need or ask much from us. At least for now.
Elf Crash Murphy	That could change though.
Elf Max	What do you mean, Crash?
Elf Crash Murphy	What I hear is that that test flights are doing so well, they are pushing the agenda forward. Not even sure if it will be flown come December, They are moving fast. So keep track of them
Elf Ulan	Elf Randi, yes, they came to my area too! XD
Elf Pinky	What could they ask of us, Crash?
Elf Crusader	Pinky, is there anything that I should be doing as sector lead right now?
Elf Crash Murphy	Weather mostly. But I hear rumors they may engage our trackers in some….special assignments.
Elf Crusader	Special assignments?
Elf Pinky	Crusader, you’re doing it. When new elves come on board, become their friend. This goes for all of you. We can all do a better job of sharing information and skills
Elf Ulan	Elf Crash, do you know Santa’s sleigh is with the test flights now?
Elf Crusader	Happy to do so , pinky!
Elf Crash Murphy	Can’t say anything more than that, Crusader. But what would you think if they sent a test flight right over your house and told you it was coming. Would you watch?
Elf Chocolate Snowflakes	elf crash how heavy is the sleigh?
Elf Crash Murphy	Elf Ulan, I have no idea about that. Santa’s got a different agenda. I don’t think he is with the test flights, no.
Elf Crusader	I would crash
Elf Crash Murphy	Chocolate Snowflakes, I have no real idea. At least 15 pounds.
Elf Pinky	I have a feeling that Santa is back in Sector 5. Just a feeling.
Elf Chocolate Snowflakes	cool
Elf Pinky	Ok, Crash – I’ll ask it. What are your expectations of us?
Elf Randi Hume	I think it’s a little heavier than 15 pounds, Crash
Elf Crash Murphy	My expectations. Ok, listen up.
Elf Crusader	From what I hear, Santa has a friend who lives in Minnesota who he’s been visiting
Elf Ulan	Elf Crash, thank you, okay, he got a different agenda. Do you know what it is?
Elf Crash Murphy	Right and for the next month ONLY, I’d like the Elf Supervisors to focus a little bit on Elf recruiting
Elf Crash Murphy	We don’t need a lot of new elves.
Elf Crash Murphy	But I think making a small effort to have fresh eyes and new elves with us is a good idea
Elf Crash Murphy	Santa does not want MILLIONS of new elves like we did in past years….just a few
Elf Crash Murphy	So be selective
Elf Rolf Janssen	Ok
Elf Crash Murphy	Santa doesn’t sound to me like he’s coming back to the North Pole soon
Elf Crash Murphy	I’m guessing…Thanksgiving, maybe? I just don’t know
Elf Crash Murphy	BUT, when he gets back he’s going to have instruction for us
Elf Crusader	When do things start kicking into high gear for us?
Elf Crash Murphy	My experience with him going on walkabout is that he always comes back with very specific information in certain areas
Elf Crash Murphy	High gear? Really high gear comes November
Elf Chocolate Snowflakes	when is a good time to send our christmas list?
Elf Ulan	Elf Crash, maybe Santa will not visit Canada this year with Mrs. Claus?
Elf Crash Murphy	And I think Santa may have some special stuff for us. I just want us to be ready for it. It could be different because it is a walkabout year
Elf Max	Elf Chocolate Snowflakes, I think Elf Hugo talked about wish lists in this morning’s North Pole Chat
Elf Crusader	How does mrs. C feel about Santa be gone for so long?
Elf Crash Murphy	Yes, it sounds like Santa’s not doing Thanksgiving in Canada. Which is WEIRD
Elf Crash Murphy	Mrs. Claus is a very strong lady. She’s the best. I don’t know how she feels about Santa being gone but I can tell you that Santa is a lot more active right now and talking to all of us by phone a great deal. I talked to him on Thursday
Elf Crusader	Is he watching this chat?
Elf Max	Did Santa give you any special instructions FOR US?
Elf Ulan	Elf Crash, thank you for telling it!
Elf Crash Murphy	Santa will read this transcript but I have no reason to believe he is online right now.
Elf Crash Murphy	Santa did not give any special instructions. I actually asked him that and he told me to just listen to my boss, Elf Roger Star of North Pole Flight Command
Elf Ulan	I hope Santa would be here!
Elf Crusader	Cool
Elf Chocolate Snowflakes	cool
Elf Crash Murphy	I know Santa was here last weekend…or at least a few weeks ago. He seemed pretty happy with his visit
Elf Crash Murphy	I would not be surprised if he hopped back on SantaTrackers.net every now and then going forward. We’re in the season now. Santa is engaged.
Elf Crusader	That’s good to hear
Elf Max	Ok, we’re over time – any last questions for Crash or the Elf Supervisors?
Elf Max	Supes, any last words?
Elf Crusader	Would any of you like to be on one of my podcasts
Elf Pinky	From what I can see every elf here is very experienced. You know what to do. I’ll do better to let you know what we need.
Elf Randi Hume	I will focus on some new elf blood going forward, Crash. I’m proud of my team!
Elf Ulan	Thank you, Elf Crash, and supervisors! I’m so delighted to see you today! I hope we will see you again soon! XD
Elf Rolf Janssen	I think it still may be possible to get Santa here for a tracker-elf only chat. He and I talked about that a long time ago. I know our elves want that very much
Elf Chocolate Snowflakes	bye
Elf Max	That would be very cool. Crash, is that possible?
Elf Crash Murphy	Yes sir. I talked about it with him too. Looks like December though
Elf Pinky	I’ll be here for that!
Elf Max	Ok, that’s a good note to end it on. Thank you everyone for being here!
Elf Pinky	Thanks everyone!
Elf Randi Hume	Good job everyone!
Elf Rolf Janssen	Semper Fi!
Elf Ulan	Elf Randi, Thank you so much!
Elf Crusader	Later everyone
Elf notJack	Than you supervisors!
Elf Chocolate Snowflakes	you’re welcome bye.
Elf Crash Murphy	Thanks, Max. Nice work.

Come to the Elf Supervisor Chat

September 13, 2023/1 Comment/in Tracking News, Christmas Newswire, Sector 1, Sector 2, Sector 3, Sector 4, Sector 5/by Elf Crash Murphy

Hi y’all!

We have finally received buy-in from all our Elf Supervisors for a joint chat for all sectors this Sunday at 11am EST.

We know that time is not convenient for many people. It is simply impossible for us to find a time that works for everyone.

But, with North Pole Chat scheduled with Elf Hugo scheduled this Sunday at SantaUpdate.com at 10am we feel that we have the best chance to get folks together for a chat with the Elf Supervisors right after that.

So after you chat it up with Elf Hugo on Sunday morning at SantaUpdate.com, just come over here to SantaTrackers.net to chat with the Elf Supervisors.

I have ask the Elf Supervisors to make this an open chat. That means YOU will be driving the discussion – not them. Don’t expect any big announcements and a huge list of instructions to come from this chat. This chat is about YOUR questions for THEM.

I might be there, lurking in the background. I want the focus to be on the Supervisors.

Elf Max will moderate the chat and will be able to answer questions, too.

Thanks!
