Freelance Tracker Elves

As you know there are two kinds of tracker elves: there are North Pole Elves, which are members of this community. And there are freelance tracker elves, who are not members of this community.

There are many reasons people have for not becoming North Pole Elves. Some are younger, still in school and their parents don’t want them having a login here. We understand that. Some are happy just living where they are and never want to come to the North Pole. We understand that too.

But for whatever the reason a person chooses to become a freelance elf or a North Pole elf is not important to Santa.

There are many, many more freelance tracker elves than there are North Pole elves. Here is what we count as active freelance elves in every sector as of today:

Sector 1: 1,284,312
Sector 2: 451,013
Sector 3: 9,442,109
Sector 4: 5,007,418
Sector 5: 24,340,110

That’s a lot of elves.

But here’s the problem: the freelance tracker elves are entirely independent. There are many who are very good elves. There are others who are very part time and don’t even show up until just days before Santa’s flight.

This makes managing what they report very difficult for North Pole Flight Command.

Why are we telling you this?

Well, I think Santa will explain that during his chat. So I won’t spill anything here, especially since it’s just my opinion.

Whether you are a North Pole Elf or a Freelance Tracker Elf does NOT really matter. We hope all elves of every type can join Santa’s chat or at least read what he has to say if they cannot make it at the scheduled time.

Santa has concerns. This may be a very different year tracking Santa for Santa.

I hope you all are paying attention.
