Chat Transcript:
| Elf Roger Star | Hi everyone, thank you for your dedication in being here today. My name is Elf Roger Star and I am the International Director of Santa Trackers. |
| Elf Roger Star | You do not hear as much from me today as you did when this program began five years ago. |
| Elf Roger Star | Back then there were only a few of us. Today there are many more. And we’re about to become much bigger. |
| Elf Roger Star | My goal today is to somehow communicate what you mean to Santa. |
| Elf Roger Star | This is all a very personal thing to him. After all, he is the one out there in the skies on Christmas Eve. What you do helps keep him safe. That is no small thing. |
| Elf Roger Star | If you recall back to when you first became an elf and learned the Elf Code you remember that the code is made up of the letters of the word CHRISTMAS. |
| Elf Roger Star | The letter C, the first one, is about charity. |
| Elf Roger Star | Charity is putting the needs of others before yourself. |
| Elf Roger Star | That’s just as true in the work you do for Santa as it is in anything else. Santa knows this. |
| Elf Roger Star | You guys are the stars. The pioneers. The real example of what Christmas service means. |
| Elf Roger Star | Being here in July means you’re going to be ready for Christmas like no other elves. Being here is a great reflection on you and I hope you know it does not go unnoticed. |
| Elf Roger Star | I have a bit of an announcement to make. Something I want you to make note of. |
| Elf Roger Star | Santa wishes to express himself to his tracker elves. So I am announcing right now that he will do that in a special chat just for trackers to be scheduled in December not long before he takes off. We don’t know the date yet — likely sometime on December 22nd or 23rd. This will not be a public chat. It will be held here in Elf Chat. |
| Elf Roger Star | He would be here today if he could. But I’m certain he will be reading the archive of these presentations and your questions when he gets the opportunity. |
| Elf Roger Star | He values your time and service. And I want you to know he is grateful. |
| Elf Roger Star | There is only one other elf who knows what it is like to be out there in the cold and the wind and the rain and the heat and the snow on Christmas Eve. He’s a legendary tracker, one I consider to be a Hall of Fame Elf. |
| Elf Roger Star | His name is Elf Crash Murphy. Every Christmas Eve he tracks Santa the way you want to track Santa. He follows Santa around the world in a sleigh pulled by flying reindeer. |
| Elf Roger Star | No other elf can say that. That’s why we call him the Ultimate Santa Tracker |
| Elf Roger Star | There is a reason he began today’s conference. |
| Elf Roger Star | He has much to say every Christmas. He’s a reporter. That’s his job. |
| Elf Roger Star | But he’s also an elf. Just like you. And just like you his job first and foremost is to track Santa for Santa. |
| Elf Roger Star | My advice to you is to pay attention to what he has to say over the next five months. He’ll be hosting chats at SantaUpdate.com, he’ll be on the radio now and then, he’ll be doing podcasts. |
| Elf Roger Star | Elf Crash has been part of this program for tracker elves from the very beginning. He spends a lot of time talking to elves and trying to understand things. He works hard to share what he can with anyone who is interested. You would be wise to listen to him and seek him out. |
| Elf Roger Star | Thank you again for being here. I will now try to answer any questions you might have. |
| Elf Max | Thank you, Roger. Guys – Elf Roger is a top elf. IF you have ANY question, he is a good guy to ask! |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Did my agent call you Roger? |
| Elf Max | Hahaha! |
| Elf Roger Star | No Crash. I just want everyone to know they can talk to you |
| Elf Lil Cream | Hi! The elf code mentions to always be merry, and i guess what im asking is if an elf is smiling and happy 24/7 does that make them less of an elf? |
| Elf Crash Murphy | I really appreciate that, Roger. I really do. |
| Elf Sugar Cookie | First of all, I wanted to thank everyone who works for these websites. It means a lot to be able to have this connection to the North Pole. What made Santa decide to start the Tracker Elf program? |
| Elf Roger Star | Lil Cream – I would think that makes them MORE of an elf |
| Elf Lil Cream | i meant isnt sorry |
| Elf Roger Star | Sugar Cookie – Elf Crash is actually the inspiration for the program |
| Elf Lil Cream | it spell corrected |
| Elf Roger Star | As he followed Santa on the radio over the years Santa noticed how many people wanted his job |
| Elf Ullrich | Wow! I did not know that! |
| Elf Roger Star | So he looked into it. And what he found was that people didn’t want Crash’s job – they just wanted to help. To be like Crash and help get Santa around the world |
| Elf Roger Star | And Santa thought…why not? In fact, the more people we have helping the better things will be |
| Elf Sugar Cookie | Very cool! Thank you, Crash, for inspiring all of this! I’ve wanted to help Santa like this for years. |
| Elf Roger Star | And it’s been true. Since we have started the tracker elf program Santa’s job has been done better, faster and more completely. More people are happy |
| Elf Roger Star | See, Sugar Cookie? You have wanted to do it all this time! That’s wonderful! |
| Elf Roger Star | Santa never knew |
| Elf Roger Star | And he LOVES that there are so many llike you out there |
| Elf Lil Cream | The elf code mentions to always be merry, and i guess what im asking is if an elf isnt smiling and happy 24/7 does that make them less of an elf? (it spell corrected the first time to is) |
| Elf Sugar Cookie | Thank you so much!! |
| Elf Roger Star | Back to Lil Cream |
| Elf Roger Star | Elves are people. We’re not perfect |
| Elf Roger Star | We make mistakes |
| Elf Roger Star | And we’re entitled to bad days |
| Elf Roger Star | That does not make you a bad elf |
| Elf Roger Star | There is no such thing as a bad elf!!!! |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Thank you for saying that Roger |
| Elf Max | Indeed!!! |
| Elf Roger Star | I think we all want to do well. |
| Elf Roger Star | But even Santa makes mistakes now and then. |
| Elf Roger Star | And even Santa can get grumpy |
| Elf Roger Star | Especially around broccoli |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Hahaha…that’s true. He’s not a fan |
| Elf Roger Star | Really good questions, thank you Lil Cream and Sugar Cookie |
| Elf Sugar Cookie | Ha! It’s an acquired taste for sure. Lemon juice on it helps, believe it or not. |
| Elf Max | Any last questions at all? |
| Elf Sugar Cookie | Thank *you*, Elf Roger! |
| Elf Crash Murphy | I think Santa prefers gasoline and a match |
| Elf Max | Oh boy…. |
| Elf Sugar Cookie | Hahahaha |
| Elf Roger Star | Don’t try that at home, elves |
| Elf Lil Cream | lol |
| Elf Crash Murphy | I’m kidding… |
| Elf Sugar Cookie | Trust me, I’d rather be eating cookies than broccoli, but it has to be done sometimes lol |
| Elf Max | Thank you all for being here. It was a good conference |
| Elf Max | I learned a lot |
| Elf Roger Star | And I did too. |
| Elf Sugar Cookie | Thank you so much to everyone!! I’m so glad I was able to attend part of it! |
| Elf Lil Cream | thank you so much! |
| Elf Roger Star | Hope you can all make it for the next one! |
| Elf Max | Thanks elves! Have a great day! |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Yes, have a merry one! |

| Elf Sugar Cookie | Thank you all! You too! |
