Only 12 days more!!

Hi Everyone

What a great time we had last night. We had our tree decorating party. Here is our tree outside of Santa's house.

Santa says you can see this tree for miles because it is so huge; 40 feet tall. Can you see the people standing by the bottom of the tree how little they look. To decorate it Santa had to get the reindeer and sleigh out to reach the top. Rudolph put the star on top of the tree for us because it was so dark we needed his nose to light the way. It was so dark before we turned the lights on and then suddenly it was like magic with pretty lights everywhere. Oh we had so much fun. It took us hours and hours but it was worth it don't you think? Look how pretty it is. Wish you could come see it.

Mrs. Claus served everyone hot chocolate outside so we could try to stay warm. As we decorated Doreen Santa's sister then started to sing Christmas songs and we all sang along. I think we sang every Christmas song ever written. My favorite song is Frosty the Snowman.

Then we all went inside Santa's house and decorated the tree inside. Here is a picture....

The lady next to the tree is Terry. She is Mrs. Claus's sister. I like her because she is a good cook. I helped her and Mrs. Claus cook all afternoon; we made all kinds of goodies to eat tonight. My favorite is the peanut butter fudge. Yummy. Mrs. Claus says I make that better than anyone she knows.

While we decorated the tree we ate, and sang songs. My friend Crystal played the piano and we all sang and even danced. Well us girls danced; because the boys would not do so. I think they are just chickens. : ) We had so much fun; I can't wait until Christmas; only 12 more days. Yay!!!

Goodness everyone just left and I am so tired. It is almost midnight and two hours after my bedtime. I have to go to bed now but will write you in the morning.

Goodbye everyone.

P.S. Don't forget to get your letters to Santa

Hello Boys and Girls,

It has been so busy here as Christmas eve is less than two weeks away. Santa has us working from early morning to supper time. You should see his house ~ there are so many rooms filled with toys for all you good boys and girls. Some are so cute and adorable, especially the dolls.

Oh, yah, last night Santa tried on his favorite Santa suit and guess what ~ he couldn't button it. We were all laughing so hard ~ he kept holding his breath and pulling in his stomach. He said that the laundry had shrunk it. Yah Yah!!Mrs. Claus put him on a diet immediately and says he could only eat what she gives him. Ha Ha!! He will be nibbling behind her back! Don't worry Mrs. Claus can move the buttons and it will fit perfectly. Don't tell Santa ~ that's our little secret.

Doreen, Santa's sister is a great skier. You should see her come down these slopes. However, on one trip she smashed into the reindeer fence. Luckily she didn't get hurt, but the fence has to be repaired. Santa will have the elves do it. All the reeindeer were in the barn, so none got hurt.

Well it is getting late and I am tired so I will say goodnight for now.

Please remember to be good boys and girls and listen to your parents. Send your letters to Santa if you want some presents.

Bye; see you tomorrow : )

Hi everyone

Sorry I didn't write you yesterday as I was so busy all day. Then our electricity went out last night because of an ice storm. Oh you should have seen it this morning as everything was glare ice. Here are some pictures of me outside

It was so slippery this morning that Santa cancelled all the reindeer's practices. I was supposed to go with Santa in the sleigh to exercise the reindeer as couple of them need to lose a few pounds before Christmas eve. Donner is the fattest because he sneaks cookies when nobody is looking. LOL

Oh I almost forgot to tell you that Doreen; Santa's sister and her son Peter came yesterday. I really like Doreen because she is so cool and likes to dance. She brought all of us presents too. Ohhh I can't wait until christmas can you? Here is a picture of Santa's sister and her son Peter

Tonight we had a really big supper to celebrate Doreen and Peter coming. We had ham, mashed pototoes and carrots (ick I don't like carrots but I ate them.) Then for dessert we had apple pie..sooo yummy I ate two pieces.

After supper Doreen and us girls went into town to do some Christmas shopping. We had so much fun. I bought Mrs. Claus some new pearls. Santa took us in the sleigh as it was still slippery outside. Rudolph and Blitzen pulled our sleigh. Rudolph is a practical joker, and when we were coming home he started flying so fast Santa's sister Doreen started to scream. It was so funny the more she screamed Santa would make Rudolph fly faster. I think this is the fastest I think we ever got home from town. Boy can Rudolph fly when he wants to.

When we got home Mrs. Claus gave us all hot chocolate and oatmeal cookies to warm us up. After eating I went to my room and wrapped up Mrs Claus's pearls so she would not find then before Christmas. Shh please don't tell Mrs. Clause but I have them all hidden away in the back of my closet behind my shoes.

Well it is getting late and I am tired so I will say goodnight for now.

Please remember to be good boys and girls and listen to your parents. Send your letters to Santa if you want some presents.

Bye; see you tomorrow : )

Hi Everyone

We had an exciting day today. I woke up at 5:30 this morning to the smell of Mrs. Claus making apple cinnamon muffins. I ran downstairs before everyone else woke up so Mrs. Claus let me help her bake. I love to cook so much fun. Oh and the muffins were so yummy I ate three of them and two glasses of milk.

I started to work at 7 in Santa's office. Wow I have so much work to do. Santa receives thousands of letters a day and I have to make sure they all are scanned into the computer so Santa can answer them. I love reading your letters so please keep sending them.

Oh and besides your letters Santa also wants me to make an inventory of all the toys we have made so he knows we have enough toys for Christmas eve. Wow!! that is going to be a lot of work. We have tons of toys made for you.

I worked until 10 when Crystal came and told me Santa says we can go to our skiing lessons this morning. yay!! What fun we had. You should have seen me on the slopes whizzing down the hills. If you can keep a secret and not tell Crystal I am much better than she is. She still even falls down. I have not fallen in weeks.

By noon we were staving to death so we went home to eat. In the woods outside their barn we met Blitzen, Dancer, and Comet playing in the snow.

In the picture is Blizten in the front, he is such a ham and loves to have his picture taken. The other is Dancer. Comet is really shy and ran away when he saw my camera. LOL

When we got back to the house Mrs. Claus had grilled cheese sandwiches all ready for us. With hot chocolate to warm us up. Crystal and I were so cold we sat on the floor next to the fireplace in eating our sandwiches. Everyone had already eaten lunch and was at work making toys.l I have to go now because I have to help Mrs. Claus go shopping for our Christmas Decorations. I will write you later tonight when I get home.

Be good boys and girls. Remember to get your letters to Santa as soon as you can.

Bye Talk to you tonight : )

2009-12-02T09:54:00.000-08:00

Hi Everyone

Wow what a day we had today. I woke up and my alarm clock wasn't working because we had no electricity. I was so tired I fell back to sleep. I didn't get up until 9 this morning. I can't believe Santa let me sleep so late!!.

By the time I went downstairs to eat everyone had already left the kitchen so Mrs. Claus and I cooked French Toast. It was the best French toast I have ever tasted in my life. We had to cook it on the fireplace just like a 100 years ago when people had no electricity. That was so much fun and I felt like a pioneer.

After breakfast Crystal and I went outside to take pictures. It snowed last night and all the trees were so magical. Oh yeah before I forget here is a picture I took to show you. I just love the snow; don't you?

Crystal and I had a lot of fun playing in the snow. We made a snowman. See I posted a picture for you to see what the snowman looked like until mean Timmy, the Elf, pushed his head off. grrr Now we have a headless snowman.

After making our snowman we were freezing so went inside to ask Mrs. Clause for some hot chocolate. She was making chocolate chip cookies so we helped her finish cooking them. We then called everyone in for hot chocolate and cookies. That was fun as we still had to use the fireplace to cook. Afterwards we played charades. Santa played with us but if you can keep a secret and not tell him I told you...he's not very good at it and made my team lose. Everyone was laughing so hard when Santa tried to be a pirate. I wish today could go on forever. It was so cozy and warm. I fell asleep in a chair by the fireplace before dinner. I just woke up now.

Oh just in case you're wondering why I am not working today is because we had the day off due to bad weather and no electricity. I am lucky my computer has a battery so I can still send you this letter.

Well I have to say goodbye for now as I have to eat dinner...mashed potatoes and meat loaf...yummy. Oh and after dinner Santa is taking the reindeer out for a test run tonight and I get to go with him...yah I can't wait.

Please be good boys and girls and don't forget to send Santa your Christmas list. He will answer all your letters.

Hi everyone!

Wow what a great day we had. We made a ton of momey from our bake sale. We made almost $2,000! Well, we actually only made $1,000 but Santa donated another $1,000. So we now have enough money to buy our new Christmas. We are going to decorate the entire town this year. I can't wait as it's going to be so pretty. : )

Oh and everyone loved the Gingerbread house that Crystal and I made. We raffled and someone bid $55.00.

After the bake sale, Charlene the lady who won our gingerbread house, invited Crystal and me over for dinner. Charlene picked Crystal and me up in a big SUV as the roads are really slippery tonight. We are having a big ice storm. Anyway we had a blast at Charlene's tonight. We had baked lasagna (yummy) and chocolate cake for dessert (even yummier). We didn't eat my gingerbread house as Charlene said it's too pretty to eat. LOL

After we ate. Charlene's husband Bob. played Christmas carols on the piano while the rest of us sang and drank hot chocolate next to the fireplace. Charlene has two little girls so I tried to teach them how to dance. Oh I had so much fun I hated to come home.

It's now way past my bedtime (10 o'clock) so I shall say goodnight to everyone. Please be good and listen to your mom and dad. Don't forget to send your letter's into Santa. If you're a really good boy and girl Santa will even send you a letter back. : )

2009-11-29T14:28:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone!

What a great dinner we had. Mrs. Claus is a wonderful cook. After eating Santa made us go for a walk, so we wouldn't gain any weight. Santa fell asleep in his chair, though.

However, he allowed Crystal and I to go skiing instead. What fun we had, even though we were in the snow on the ground most of the time. Then came a surprise ~Santa came skiing down the hill! Santa on skiis!! And he was good. None of us knew Santa could ski! Even attempted trick skiing on some of the lower hills. Mrs. Claus let him stay for a short time, as she thought the exercise would be too much for him.

With the roaring fire in the fireplace, Santa played several games of Monoply and Scrabble with some of the elves. Mrs. Claus served us some delicious ice cream with warm chocolate sauce. Yum!! Yum!

Another surprise when Santa started playing the piano in the rec room! Mrs. Claus plays quite often, but no one knew that Santa could play.Then he danced with Mrs. Claus! Everyone cheered! Then we joined in singing Christmas Carols until it was bed time. Santa told us to get a good night's sleep as we would be very busy from now until Christmas.

North Pole Tales ~ Day 28 Thanksgiving

2009-11-26T04:03:00.001-08:00

Hello everyone ~ Boys, Girls, Moms, Dads & Grandparents!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!! "Be thankful for what you have, you'll end up having more; If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough" Oprah Winfrey

Very busy with the reindeer this morning, as we are dressing them up for a few hours after their exercises. As usual Rudolph didn't like his bells, but he finally consented and wore them. Pretty gold and red bells. The reindeer looked so nice!

I have been in the kitchen helping Mrs. Claus peel the vegetables, (squash, yuk! ) turnip, which I like , white potatoes which will be mashed and my favorite ~ candied sweet yams. Of course the "big bird" was put into the oven hours ago. Mrs. Claus baked some pies yesterday ~ apple,

squash, blueberry and mince. Oh, they look so good! I can't wait for my dessert! Blueberry is my favorite. Yum Yum

After our fabulous dinner, Tom, Cheryl, post office elves, and I plan to go skiing. There's still a lot of snow, so maybe we'll build a snowman too.

Santa will spend the afternoon on his computer if he doesn't fall asleep in front of the roaring fire in the fireplace.

Have a wonderful day!! See you tomorrow! Joanie

Happy Holidays to you all

Hi everyone!

I have good news....we passed the Reindeer inspection. The Reindeer all passed their physicals and behaved themselves perfectly. We were a little worried about Cupid with his weight problem but luckily the inspector didn't seem to notice. Santa now has his license to deliver toys on Christmas eve. Yahoo!!

I did not have my skiing lesson today because of the Reindeer inspections this morning. After the inspection was over I had to work in the toyshop to finish painting the dolls faces (they are sooo cute!).
After the paint dries, Rosie (the short elf) and I are going wrap the dolls in pretty boxes with sparkling ribbons!!

We are having a bake sale tomorrow to raise money for the town Christmas Tree Party. Every year we have a big party to decorate the giant tree in the center of town. Everyone is invited, we sing songs and drink hot chocolate while decorating the tree.

Everyone loves it when Santa arrives with the reindeer and takes them for a ride. If you are anywhere near the North Pole on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, you are invited to our party....it's going to be a lot of fun!

After lunch today my friend Crystal and I made a gingerbread house for the bake sale tomorrow. Mrs. Claus said it was the best looking gingerbread house she has ever seen. I just hope it tastes as good as it looks!

After we made the gingerbread house we baked some sugar cookies and brownies. Crystal ate so much cookie dough that she had a tummy ache and had to lay down on the couch. Don't worry, she is okay now.

Well I better say goodnight. It is already past my bedtime.

See you tomorrow

A Custom Letter From Santa

Hi everyone!

How are you doing? I am not feeling too well today. I have been coughing all day long. Mrs. Claus would not even let me go to my skiing lesson this morning. I told her I was well enough to ski but she still would not let me go.

Since I have a cold I was not allowed to work in the toyshop today. I guess Santa was afraid everyone else would catch my cold. So I sat by the fireplace scanning Santa's letters into the computer. I still cannot believe how many letters Santa receives. I hope he has enough toys for everyone.

While I was working on Santa's letters I must of fallen asleep. Because when I woke up Mrs. Claus was ringing the bell for supper. At supper Mrs. Claus told me I was asleep for almost 3 hours. I cannot believe that I slept for so long. Santa says the cough medicine I took at lunchtime probably made me sleepy.

Santa says we are going to be really busy for the next few days because we have to get the reindeer ready for their inspections. The Reindeer inspector is going to visit us on Tuesday.

I bet you did not know that Santa has to get a special license from the Reindeer Board of Health to deliver presents on Christmas eve? A Reindeer inspector has to visit us every year to make sure the reindeer are healthy and that the sleigh is safe.

We almost did not pass inspection last year because Rudolph was playing one of his jokes. Rudolph had all the reindeer put heavy weights on their hoofs. So when the inspector weighed them they were all overweight. At first the inspector would not give Santa his license because the reindeer were too fat. Then the Reindeer started laughing and took the weights off their hoofs. It was so funny that everyone started laughing; even the crabby inspector.

Well I better be saying goodnight. It is almost snacktime. Since I am sick, Mrs. Claus let me choose our snack tonight. So we are having peanut butter on Ritz crackers and chocolate cake and eggnog. (yum!).

See you tomorrow

You'll really be surprised about all the problems which Santa has while he's making so many toys.

Hi everyone!

Sorry I did not write to you yesterday. I have been so busy the last couple of days. I have been working in the toyshop painting the dolls faces. After I finish my painting I work on Santa's letters. I am sure glad I have my new scanner to scan Santa's mail into the computer.

I did not have my ski lesson today because we had a big snowstorm this morning. We got about 22 inches of snow. Luckily Santa didn't make us shovel. Since there was so much snow, Jed, the man down the street plowed our driveways for us.

Most of my friends are complaining about the snow but I love it. Bobbijean and I have already been outside with our snowshoes on. It was kind of hard walking in the deep snow, but we had fun. We also got a pile of snowballs all made.

We walked all the way out to the reindeer barn and then over to visit Mrs. Mallory. Mrs. Mallory lives down the street with her two cats FeFe and Boris. She is a great cook! Today she gave us a delicious piece of apple pie and a glass of milk.

After we ate the pie Mrs. Mallory taught Bobbijean and I how to play canasta. We were having so much fun that we didn't even notice how dark it was outside. Santa doesn't want us girls walking alone at night so we had to call home for someone to come and get us. Wynn, the barn elf, and Cupid brought us home on the sled. You should of seen how pretty our town looks at night with the lights and the snow.

Well I better be saying goodnight. I have to put on my pajamas before Santa calls me for the movie. We are going to pop some popcorn and watch a movie called "Snow Dogs". I'm not sure what the movie is about but I will tell you about it tomorrow.

Bye! Bye! Joanie

Hi everyone!

We had a great time at our skiing lesson this morning. Charlie, Crystal and I spent more time on the ground than on our skis. Although we fell down a lot, we did not get hurt.

We have a great teacher, his name is Galaxy. Well his real name is Glenn Galaxy, but he wants us to call him Galaxy.

When we first met Galaxy this morning we were kind of afraid of him because he looks kind of funny - spikey green and orange hair and three earrings in each ear. He even has tattoos on some of his fingers.

Galaxy is really funny; everytime we fell down, he would copy us to show us what we did wrong. We were all laughing so hard we were almost crying.

Cupid came skiing with us as Santa wanted him to get some extra exercise (remember Cupid has to lose 23 pounds before Christmas). Well Cupid did not actually ski, he pulled our sled to the top of the hill and we would ski down. Then Cupid would meet us at the bottom and pull us back up the hill. Cupid must of had fun also, as he asked Santa if he can go skiing with us again tomorrow morning.

After our skiing lesson we went back to Santa's house and had some hot chocolate and then it was off to work.

I worked all afternoon on Santa's letters. You would not believe how many sacks of letters he receives every day. Santa already has 6 rooms stuffed full of letters I have to type into the computer.

Today Santa saw how many letters he received and could not believe there were so many. Santa thinks there are too many letters for me to type so he decided he is going to buy me a scanner. Rather than type the letters I will be able to scan the letters into the computer. That's a relief! I was starting to worry about getting the letters done before Christmas eve.

Oh by the way, did you send Santa your wish list yet? Santa wanted me to remind you to send your letters in early. He wants to make sure he has enough toys for everyone. A Custom Letter From Santa

Well it is getting late so I better say goodnight. I have to put on my pajamas before Mrs. Claus calls us for our snack. I want to get to bed early so I will be ready to go skiing in the morning.

See you tomorrow!

Hi everyone!

Sorry I did not write to you yesterday. I hope you were not worried about me. I have been so busy with my new job doing Santa's letters that I did not even have any time write you yesterday. I am working hard, but I still love my job.

Our new dog Freddie is doing really well. He seems to like his new home. Mrs. Claus was right that Santa's dog, Sparkles and Freddie would soon be friends. Freddie and Sparkles are the best of friends; they now do everything together - Even rip apart the trash! You should of seen the mess they made last night. Yesterday we put the trash outside the reindeer barn so the trashman could pick it up. A little while later Wynn, the barn elf, came barging into Santa's house complaining about all the garbage in the barn. We went out to look - there was trash everywhere! You should of seen the mess the dogs made. It took us almost a half an hour to clean the barn.

I have some good news...I am going to start taking skiing lessons tomorrow. I cannot wait to get started. My friend Bobbijean already knows how to ski and says it is easy once you take a few lessons. Santa thought some of the elves needed more exercise so he said we could take skiing lessons or take Karate lessons. I am not sure why but most of the elves are taking the Karate Lessons; only Crystal, Charlie and I are taking the skiing lessons.

Well I have to go now and finish my work before supper. I won't have time to work after supper because I have to polish my new skiis and get my clothes ready. My first ski lesson is tomorrow morning 9 am. Wish me luck that I don't fall down!

Bye!

2009-11-14T09:37:00.000-08:00

Hi Everyone!

I have some exciting news for you. Santa gave me a new job! I no longer have to work in the toyshop. I am now the official elf in charge of all the letters Santa receives. My new job is to open all of Santa's mail and put all of your names and the toys you want for Christmas into a computer. Santa decided to computerize the letters because he receives so many of them that they take up too much room in his house. You should see Santa's house, two rooms are already stuffed full of letters. I have a lot of work to do, but it is fun to read all the letter so I don't mind.

Just one of the mailboxes at the North Pole!!

Another great thing about my new job is that Santa gave me a brand new Sony Vaio laptop computer. My other computer is an old desktop that is very slow. My new laptop is a wireless speed demon. Santa says I can do my work anywhere I want. So today I sat in a big over-stuffed chair at Santa's house by the fireplace. I was so warm and cozy by the fire that I think I fell asleep for a little while, but I still finished all my work before supper.

HEY KIDS~~ Don't forget to mail your list to Santa!! A Custom Letter From Santa

This afternoon Mrs. Claus made me some peanut butter cookies and hot chocolate. While Mrs. Claus and I were eating our cookies by the fireplace we looked out the window and saw some of the elves shoveling the snow and we felt really guilty. So we went to the backdoor and called them inside to have some cookies with us. There were so many cookies leftover that we wrapped them up and took them out to the toyshop for for rest of the elves.

Santa cancelled the Special Reindeer meeting tonight because of the bad weather. It snowed all day and now the snow has changed over to sleet and freezing rain. I bet the reindeer are happy the meeting is cancelled. We are going to have the meeting tomorrow night after supper.

I love my new laptop! I am laying on the couch right now in my flannel pajamas wrapped in my pink quilt writing to you. Before with my old desktop computer I had to go up to the 3rd floor computer room to write to you.

Well I have to go now because my friends Rena and Charlie are calling me. We are going to play a game of Monopoly. Charlie will probably win again! I think he cheats, but please don't tell him I said that.

See you tomorrow! Joanie

A Custom Letter From Santa

Hello Boys and Girls, Moms and Dads too

I am very tired tonight after staying up so late last night writing the letter to you. Can you believe I did not go to bed until after 10:30. I usually go to bed at 9 o'clock.

Santa made us get up early this morning to shovel a path to the toyshop for Mrs. Claus before we ate breakfast. I did not mind missing breakfast since we only had oatmeal (yuck!). After everyone else ate breakfast I snuck into the kitchen and Dorrie, a friend of Mrs. Claus, made me a yummy Peanut Butter Sandwich.

We have been very busy here at Santa's Workshop. Today we all had to carry the finshed toys over to Santa's house and put them in the Good Boys and Girls Room in Santa's house. We already filled three rooms with toys and another room is half filled.

Although we worked really hard today we also had some fun at Santa's house. We played hide and seek in the rooms with all of the toys. Casey, the really tall elf, accidentally knocked over a stack of baseball gloves, so it took us a while to pick them up. Just as we finished cleaning up the Gloves, Santa walked into the room. Luckily Santa did not notice what had happened to the gloves or else we would have been grounded again. Last month we were not allowed to watch television because we skipped work and went sliding.

Mrs. Claus officially opened the "Wish List" Post Office today. This is the Post Office where you send all of your Christmas wish letters to Santa. You would not believe how many letters Santa has already received from children all over the world. Some of the bigger elves spent the afternoon carrying sacks of mail from the Post Office to Santa's living room.

The reindeer were not behaving again today. Vixen was being mean and teasing poor Cupid about being fat (Remember Santa put Cupid on a diet the other day.). Well Cupid got so mad that he tripped Vixen. Vixen fell down and cut his leg on the edge of a shovel. I got scared when I saw the blood and ran to get help from the Barn elf, Wynn who put a bandage on the cut. Wynn said Vixen has to rest his leg for several days and cannot exercise with the other reindeer.

When Santa heard the news about Vixen, he was very angry. My friend Rena told me Santa is getting tired of the reindeer misbehaving and that he is going to have a Special Reindeer meeting tomorrow night to yell at them. I don't think Santa will really yell at the reindeer. He is too nice for that. If I get to go to the meeting tomorrow night, I will tell you what happens.

Well, boys and girls, I hear Mrs. Claus ringing the bell so our bedtime snack must be ready. I hope it is a dish of ice cream with chocolate topping!! Doesn't that sound good? Or maybe a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Both are my favorites.

Goodnight! See you tomorrow Joanie

North Pole Tales ~ Day 20

2009-11-14T04:41:00.000-08:00

Hello Everyone!!

Sorry I did not have time to write to you earlier as we were so busy in the workshop all day. The big trucks delivered a lot of toy making supplies so we spent most of the day taking inventory.

I was busy also, putting together some puzzles and arranging them in boxes. They are so cute ~ some have pictures of the North Pole, some have pictures of elves, but the most popular puzzle is Rudolph pulling the sleigh with Santa Claus and all his toys on his trip around the world on Christmas Eve.

!
Santa was so busy today he did not even have time to exercise the reindeer. So some of the reindeer decided to go for a walk by themselves - not a good idea! They got lost in the woods so we all had to go out and look for them after supper. It was freezing and dark outside. It took us over an hour to find them.

Santa was mad at the reindeer for going into the woods, but Rudolph thought it was very funny. I am not sure if the Reindeer were really lost or just playing a game on us. Some of the Reindeer, especially Rudolph, like to play tricks on people. Someday I will tell you a few stories about Rudolph and all the funny things he does to us.

It is now almost 10:30 at night and I was supposed to be in bed a long time ago so I better say goodnight.

Fred dressed up as an alien!

Hi everyone! Boys, Girls, Moms, Dads

Did you see some of the pictures from our Halloween party? I will show you some more later.

I wanted to show you pictures of Rudolph dressed up as Cinderella but as I was scanning the pictures into my computer, Rudolph walked into the toyshop and caught me with his pictures. He got really upset because he thought the pictures were embarassing. So I promised him that I would not show them to anyone. (I'm Sorry!)

Santa took us all for a ride in the sleigh again today. Santa had the heating panels in the sleigh fixed this morning so we did not turn into icicles like yesterday. It was fun!!

Cupid was the lead reindeer today, but got tired on the way home so we had to make an emergency stop so Rudolph could take the lead. When we got back home, Santa made Cupid get on the scale. According to Santa; poor Cupid is 23 pounds over-weight. He has to start eating bland oats and cut out all bedtime snacks. Also, he has to start exercising 15 minutes before all the other reindeer.

Not much happened today besides our sleigh ride. We worked all day in the toyshop. The toys are coming along pretty well. I put the disks into the dolls today so they can talk. I was playing with the dolls to make sure they could talk and the senior elf, Bob, kept yelling at me because the doll's talking was driving him cazy. Finally Bob gave me a new job putting the Monopoly games together. I think I have to finish the dolls tomorrow.

Sorry I have to go now and put on my pajamas...it's almost snacktime. We are having warm cider and Ritz crackers for our bedtime snack. Yummy!! Yummy !! One of my favorite snacks!!

See you tomorrow!

Love JOANIE

Tales from the North Pole Day # 18

2009-11-11T04:11:00.000-08:00

Hello Boys, Girls, Moms, Dads, Everyone!!

What an exciting morning we had! Santa took the sleigh out of storage.The reindeer were all ecited to see the sleigh again. Once again, they were arguing amongst themselves who Santa would choose as the lead reindeer. The elves had to clean and polish the sleigh thoroughly before it could be used. The older slaves helped Santa put wax on the runners so it would go smoothly through the snow.

Santa had promised us a ride when all our work was completed. We got our heavy red blankets out so we could wrap them around us when we were moving!! It was going to be such fun! We couldn't wait to go!! Donna was chosen to be lead reindeer for this short trip. We're off ~ Santa turns on the heat ~ None!!! The wind is whipping the snow in our faces ~ and oh! we are so cold ~ even though we are all wrapped up in blankets.

It was so great to see Santa's mailbox again, as that meant we'd be in the barn very shortly. We were frozen!! We told Santa we didn't want any more sleigh rides until the heating element was fixed!! He just laughed!!

Upon arriving back Mrs. Claus made some hot chocolate and let us have a piece of chocolate cake, even though it was almost meal time. Tasted great. Thanks Mrs. Claus from all of us.

Tales from the North Pole Day # 17

2009-11-10T03:33:00.000-08:00

Hello Everyone,

What a great time we had at the Halloween party last night! Even the reindeer came for a while.

I bet you can't guess who won the costume contest ~ Rudolph. You should of seen him! He was dressed up as Cinderella; he wore a big pink gown with high heels. He even wore a blonde wig with long hair!

The other reindeer were all dressed up as elves. Blitzen was supposed to be dressed up to look like me. I didn't think he looked like me but everyone else thought he did. Well, kids does he look like me???

Robbie, my best friend wore a dracula outfit, I went as a witch on a broomstick, another elf, Lizzie, was an astronaut. All of us wore funny costumes except Santa. He wouldn't wear a costume but Mrs Claus made him a Dracula mask.

Mrs. Claus looked great; she was dressed up as a singing cowgirl and carried a guitar. We were really surprised when Mrs. Claus actually started to play the guitar and sing. Nobody knew she knew how to play.

We all stuffed ourselves on chocolate graveyard cake with yummy black and orange frosting. We went through a Halloween Maze in Santa's barn, swapped a few pieces of candy, and drank large glasses of orange juice. Mrs. Claus even made me my favorite peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

Later on we bobbed for apples. It was so funny when Phil, the tall elf, fell into the tub. Water splattered everywhere, and we all got wet. But we didn't care as we were laughing so much we didn't even notice we were wet.

We sang lots of songs. Santa set up a karaoke machine so we took turns singing our favorite songs. You should of heard us; nobody could sing very well. I tried o sing "Redneck Woman" by Gretchen Wilson and the Beatles song "I want to hold your hand", well I think that's the name of the song.

The party ended really late. I didn't go to bed until almost midnight! I cannot remember the last time I stayed up so late. Luckily Santa let us have this morning off so we could sleep in late today. I didn't even get up until almost 8am. I usually have to get up at 6am to start work early in the toyshop.

Well I have to get ready for bed and have my snack. I think we are having the Chocolate Ice Cream (Yum!) left over from our party.

Don't worry, we took lots of pictures so I will be showing them to you as soon as Mrs. Claus has them developed.

Well, that's all for today! Be Good Boys and Girls!! Santas Watching!! Talk to you tomorrow. Joanie

2009-11-08T12:32:00.001-08:00

Hello Everyone,

Sorry I don't have much time to write today ~ we have been very busy in the toyshop all day. Since we worked so hard today we can have tomorrow afternoon off and do what we want. I'm just going to get my costume ready and wait for the big costume party tomorrow night. It'll be so much fun! Santa is giving it a week late, but that doesn't matter. Fun is fun!!

Santa made us eat supper early so we could go to bed early because tomorrow night is our big Halloween party. Mrs. Claus says we can stay up as late as we want tomorrow. I can't wait! We are going to have so much fun!. Santa and Mrs. Claus always give their workers a great Halloween party every year. He's giving it a week late, ~ I don't know why

Mrs. Claus got her pictures of the skating party. Did you see my pictures of Santa, my cat Ruby, and the snowman we built - we called him Mr. Frosty. As you can probably tell from my pictures I had a great skating party; at least until I fell and hurt my ankle!! It'll be all right in a few weeks, I hope!! Santa's Mail Box!!

My ankle is starting to feel better, but I still limp a little. My friend, Eddie has been picking on me by calling me Limpy. Since I'm getting better, he won't be able to call me that much longer.

Send your list to Santa at once! A Custom Letter From Santa

Well, I have to go now ~ Mrs. Claus is calling me for my bedtime snack ~ I think we are having cereal. Hopefully, it is Cheerios, my favorite!

Don't worry about me if I don't have time to write to you before our party. I'll tell you all about it the next day!

Good night everyone!!

North Pole Tales- Day 15

2009-11-07T07:19:00.000-08:00

Hello Boys and girls!

We had a wonderful time at the skating party ~ until I fell and sprained my ankle. Santa called the doctor who lives next door and he put a bandage on it. So that was the end of my skating, but the fire kept me so warm while I was sitting there. And of course the hot chocolate tasted so good plus the yummy chocolate chip cookies which Mrs. Claus had baked earlier in the afternoon. We sang lots of songs and Christmas Carols. Santa brought the reindeer to the edge of the rink for a while, but they didn't behave, so the stable elf put them back into the barn. And guess what?? Santa put on his skates and skated around the rink several times. Took some pictures ???

Due to my ankle injury I had to do a sitting-down job today ~ painted the girls tea sets. Oh, they are so pretty! I love the pastel colors and the tiny cups with such cute handles. The novice elves were painting the dinner plates, milk pitchers, serving platters, gravy bowls and salt and pepper shakers. I think all the dishes will be done by tomorrow. Then we start on the kitchen appliances ~ stove, refrigerator, sink, microwave and oven, dishwasher and trash compactor.

Well, there's not much more to tell about today, so will close for now. BE GOOD BOYS AND GIRLS ~ SANTAS WATCHING YOU. Love, Joanie

2009-11-07T04:23:00.000-08:00

Hello Boys and Girls,

This will be a short message as Santa is taking us skating before supper. He was very pleased with all the work that was done in the workshop today. He had the ice skating rink cleared of all the snow this afternoon so we could have a skating party tonight. Oh, what fun that will be! I can't wait to go! I went through my drawers and found my old, red, heavy socks to wear, so my feet won't get cold. Also found my heavy scarf! Also put new, red laces in my skates, so I'm all ready to go!!

Santa always builds a big fire near the ice so we can warm our hands and feet. Mrs. Claus brings lots of thermos bottles filled with hot chocolate and sometimes chocolate chip cookies. Yum, Yum
The reindeer couldn't practice outdoors today ~ too cold. Their trainer thought the reindeer were in fair shape and would be ready for Christmas Eve. Two of the reindeer are still on low-fat oat diets and they have lost a few ounces. Santa is also on a diet but he cheats quite often. Mrs. Claus is always yelling at him ~ "Stop Eating!" but he keeps eating until his food is all gone.

Well, girls and boys, I hear the dinner bell ringing so will have to close for today. Joanie

Hello everyone~~ Boys, Girls Moms & Dads

We have been working very hard today ~ the little red wagons are almost finished, the games are complete and only need to be put into their boxes. We've got lots of articles finished

Mrs. Claus finished sewing the bride doll clothes and started working on the boys outfit for the wedding. They are so beautiful with all the lace and ribbons. Sometimes I wish I was getting married and wearing them!!

The Senior elves are working on the doll houses ~ painting the outside and all the floors. I worked on the girls tea sets most of the day. I also helped carry some finished toys over to the Good Boys and Girls Room in Santa's house. It looks so nice in there with all the different colored toys stacked up along the walls. Makes you wish Christmas Eve was tonight.

It is snowing and the wind is blowing the snow into giant drifts. Mrs. Claus got a movie rental and the older elves are watching it.

Santa bought several bags of marshmallows and he's letting some of us roast them in the fireplace in his living room. I can't wait to start!! I ate one all ready and they're so delicious! He's starting the fireplace so it won't be too long before we start.

Oh no!! The power just went out. It's certainly dark in here, but the flames from the fireplace gives some light. Guess we can still roast marshmallows in the dark. Can't we? Why not?

Well, I have to leave now as the battery on my computer is about to wear out. Santa says the fire is almost ready so I better get my marshmallows before they are all eaten..Sure I will enjoy them!!

Hello Everyone! Sorry that this is late!! Had some computer problems last evening!!

Santa surprised us last night by letting us have the afternoon and evening off. He thought we had been working very steadily on the toys and was very pleased.

What a great time we had ~ roasting marshmallows in the fireplace, drinking hot chocolate and singing some songs. Even practiced singing several Christmas carols. Then Mrs. Claus started playing the piano and we started dancing to some of the lively tunes. None of us knew how to dance, but we had a great time trying. Santa took some video pictures of us. Then Santa was showing us some simple dances and Mrs. Claus took some pictures of him! They are funny ~ Santa dancing!!

One of the reindeer was sick this morning and Santa called the doctor to come to the house. I guess it wasn't too serious, as he was back to normal this evening. The doctor gave him some pills to take, but he refused to take them. So the elves and Santa had to hold Blitzen's (the reindeer) mouth open, so Mrs. Claus could give him the medicine. I'm glad he only has to take the pills for three days!

Got a lot more toys done today. We ran out of paint, need some more nails and screws and sandpaper. Hopefully the supplies will arrive before the end of the week. Now we've started working on snowboards, skateboards, skis and ski poles and snow shoes. Mrs. Claus didn't work in the toy shop today ~ she said she wanted to clean her house and get ready for our Halloween party this weekend.

North Pole Tales ~ Day 11

2009-11-03T04:00:00.000-08:00

Hello Everyone ~ Boys, Girls, Moms & Dads Even Grandmas & Grandmas too!!

There was some excitement here today! Santa Claus's house caught on fire and the fire trucks rushed here to put it out. Their sirens were really blasting! Not too much damage, though. One of the older elves was smoking in the cellar and the cigarette wasn't put into an ashtray, but thrown into a waste basket. There were papers in the basket and they caught on fire immediately! Luckily, Mrs. Claus was upstairs and smelled the smoke. She immediately called the fire department. Santa is really going to punish Charlie, the elf for being so careless with a cigarette. So if you ever smoke, which I hope you don't!, always use an ashtray ~ not a waste paper basket!!

Some elves started working on the guitars. The senior elfs have to test all the guitar strings before they are ready to leave the North Pole. Quite a job!! But several elves knew how to play, so we had music most of the afternoon. We even sang some Christmas Carols.

Most of us were working on doll houses today. Santa put electricity inside each dollhouse. Every room has a cute overhead light, but the doorbell is adorable. It rings when the outside button is pushed.

The older elves finished working on the blocks ~ there's letters on all four sides. Great way to learn the letters of the alphabet.

Mrs. Claus was working on clothes for the bride dolls ~ very lacy with some pretty bows and veils for their hair. She does a great job on making little dresses.

The reindeer were good today. No problems, except when the firetrucks scared them with the loud sirens. The barn elf (Benjamin)stayed with the reindeer the rest of the day to make sure they weren't too scared.

Well, boys and girls that's all for today Love Joanie

North Pole Tales ~ day 10

2009-11-02T14:51:00.000-08:00

Hey Boys, Girls, Moms, Dads

We have been very busy today. Santa wanted us to carry all the completed toys to the Good Boys and Girls room in his house. That is where he loads all the items on his sleigh on Christmas Eve before his trip around the world .They all looked so nice stacked up in piles around the room ~ all set to be given to some good boy or girl. The fire trucks werel painted a bright shiny red with silver hoses and firemen in their yellow suits. The baby dolls all dressed in lacy dresses and sucking on a bottle. The doll house furniture all styled after our furniture ~ chairs, beds, tables, vanity, bureaus, night stands, couches and many more items. The boys yellow construction items ~ tractors, front loaders and other items.

Robbie and I were late coming back from lunch today. We were listening to some new music in my Ipod and didn't realize the time. Great music, though. And guess what? Santa caught me sneaking into the work room. Now I have no television for the rest of the week.

The reindeer broke the door on their corral and ran into the woods. Santa finally noticed they were missing and went after them. He wasn't too happy. The reindeer are not allowed outside their corral in this snowy and icy weather. He's afraid they might fall and get hurt and he needs all of them to pull the sleigh on Christmas eve. Two of the reindeer stayed in the barn, but six of them Comet, Cupid, Vixen, Dancer, Donner and of course Rudolph had a good time racing around the woods. Don't know what their punishment will be, but I'm sure Santa will give them one.

No more snow today, but it was a cloudy day and not very warm. We still have lots of snow everywhere!

Well that's all that happened today, so will see you tomorrow Joanie

2009-11-01T14:53:00.000-08:00

These are some of the toys and games we are working on!! Check them out!!

Hello everyone,

There was a problem in the reindeer stable this morning. Comet and Cupid got into a big fight over which reindeer was the heaviest. Santa weighed all the reindeer and Comet and Cupid were too heavy so he put them on a low-fat oat diet. The other six reindeer were laughing at them and calling them names, which made them even madder.

Do you know what the North Pole looks like? Well in the center is a nice big house where Mr. & Mrs. Claus live. It is a very old house and has been owned by the Claus family for hundreds of years. There is a nice picket fence along the front walk, but it can't be seen too often because of the snow. Behind the house is a big landing field, where Santa takes off on Christmas Eve, for his trip around the world. Across the street is a bakery where a crippled elf does a lot of great cooking and every one gains a few pounds occasionally. Then there is a barn and corral where all the reindeer live.~ Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzer, Dasher, Dancer, Prancer and the most famous of all ~Rudolph.

The elves live in smaller houses surrounding Santa's house. Then there is the post office where all the mail goes. Make sure you boys and girls send Santa a wish list, as Santa will try to get you something off your list. if you've been GOOD !!!

Snowed again last night and we had to do some shoveling before breakfast. That was all right as Santa gave us several hours this afternoon to do what we wanted. Most of us went sliding, but several elves went skiing and ended up in the reindeer corral! Had fun ~ came in to hot chocolate and cookies, which Mrs. Claus baked.

Well that's all for now kids!! Don't forget to drop in tomorrow for more exciting news from Santa Claus Land!!

2009-11-01T09:20:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone! Moms, Dads Boys & Girls!!

Not much going on around here today. Everyone is too busy making some toys for Santa to deliver on Christmas Eve. The senior elves are still working on the wooden blocks ~ cutting them into blocks and painting them with different letters of the alphabet. The novice elves started painting the doll house furniture, which takes a long time. Santa spent most of the day putting electric into the doll houses~ an overhead light in each room and the cutest doorbell at the front door. Mrs. Claus was knitting rugs, bedspreads, tablecloths, afghans for the dollhouse.

Santa tried on his red suit that he usually wears on Christmas Eve. He looked so funny ~ he couldn't even button his shirt and his belt didn't go all around him. Mrs. Claus has put him on a diet ~ no snacks, no candy, just 3 basic healthy meals each day. Santa is going around saying "I'm hungry" all the time!! He even tried eating some grain from the reindeer feeder, but it was disgusting.

Hey, you kids, ~ do you know what an elf looks like? He has to be under 4'9" (1.5m.) have a pair of pointed ears and have previous toy making experience. He works for Santa 10 months a year ~ 2 months vacation. He can have the left over toys on December 25th!! Not bad??

Well that's all for now. See you tomorrow. Be good!! Santa is watching you!!!

Hello Everyone ~ Boys, Girls, Moms & Dads Grandmas & Grandpas, too!!

It's another snowy day and Santa made us shovel early this morning. We normally have Sundays to do what we want, but Santa made us shovel all morning and we had to work on the toys all afternoon because we skipped work yesterday to go sliding! ( You know what happened ~ if not ~read yesterdays diary!)

The little red wagons are almost finished. We had trouble attaching the wheels, as the bolts were a bit small, but Santa found a way to do it. The Senior elf is still cutting out the wooden blocks and the novice elf is trying to paint all the different letters on them. I guess Mrs. Claus felt sorry for all of us as she baked us a delicious chocolate cake with lots of frosting Yum! Yum!

We had some free time after supper, so we went to the attic looking for some clothes which we could wear for a Halloween costume. Santa knew we were up there and he turned off the lights!! Wow!! Did we scream! It was so scary in the dark and we couldn't see where we were going!

Santa was down the stairs ~ laughing! Finally he turned on the lights and we hurried down the stairs to the kitchen. Next time we go to the attic, we'll make sure Santa is snoozing in his chair!

Rudolph and the other reindeer didn't get to do their exercises outside. There was too much snow in the corral. Rudolph is always complaining about his feet being cold ~ he doesn't like the snow on his hoofs. The other reindeer love to play in the snow and chase each other around.

Well, kids that's all for today. See you tomorrow with tales from the North Pole!!

Tales from the North Pole Day ~ # 6

2009-10-30T14:54:00.000-07:00

Hello Everyone,

What a night we had ~ snowed until this morning. And the power went off and we all had to use candles. I didn't like it being so dark and spooky.

Santa made all the elves get up real early and start doing some shoveling , even before we had our breakfast. It was very cold and the gusts of wind were blowing the snow in our faces. I think it was around noon time when Santa fell asleep on the couch and Mrs. Claus was in the bedroom painting some red wagons.

However, instead of working on our jobs making toys, we decided to play in the snow with our sleds and maybe make some snowmen. We made some good tracks in the snow on the hill behind our lodging. Boy, did our sleds go down the hill, even crashed into the fence several times. That was fun!

Then we decided to roll big balls of snow and make some snowmen. However, the snowball got too big, got away from us, rolled down the steep hill and into the corral where the reindeer were exercising. In the meantime Santa had woke up from his nap and was standing with Rudolph in the corral. The snowball hit him directly in the tummy and knocked him over into the snow. He wasn't too happy, but when we told him we wanted the snowman to look like him, he wasn't quite so angry. Although he took away all our television for a week ~ we were supposed to be making toys!! Not many days left before Christmas Eve according to Santa.

The baby fawn is so cute, but we are not allowed to touch him ~ only look at him. He tries to stand up but his legs are so wobbly and his "mommy" pushes him back into the hay.

Well kids I'll have to leave you now as Mrs. Claus is ringing the bell for supper. And then it's off to bed ~ no television for 7 days!!

Good prices!!

Christmas Village Wreath

Hello everyone!

Glad to report that Mrs. Claus is feeling a great deal better. She prepared the meals today ~ No more peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for a while. Too bad! Not too bad that Mrs. Claus is well, but too bad our favorite sandwiches won't be served as often.

As for the fire trucks, they are all made except for the firemen and the waterhoses. Hopefully they'll be done next week after the supplies arrive. Somem eleves are working on adorable teddy bears, which any young girl would love to receive.

The blocks were coming along well, until our novice elf started sawing the wood. He broke about 3 sawblades in an hour. Then Santa gave him a painting job instead.

I didn't work on any toys today ~ I had to wash and dry all the elves clothes and put them in their bureau drawers. Mrs. Claus put together some reading books, which an elf had written several years ago.

We had a new baby born this morning. One of the reindeer gave birth to a fawn earlier today. Mrs. Claus let us look at the new fawn, but we couldn't touch it. It is so small and so cute! It'll be fun watching it grow bigger in the next year.

Finally received some snow and very cold weather. Several of the elves got their skis out of the closet, but they need to be waxed before they use them. They won't have much free time between now and Christmas to use them anyway! Santa keeps everyone very, very busy working on the toys.

BETTER BE GOOD BOYS AND GIRLS!! SANTA IS WATCHING YOU!!

The reindeer did lots of exercising today out in the snow! Rudolph, as usual was complaining about his feet being cold in the snow.

Well, kids, it is my bedtime and I'm tired. See you tomorrow! Joan

Hello Everyone ~ Moms Dads Girls & Boys

It has been very busy around here today! Christmas Eve is getting closer and we are working many hours a day. Any way most of the fire trucks are painted, but the water hoses haven't been connected as we ran out of the connecting nozzles. Our supplies don't arrive until the end of next week. Our Senior Elf, started sawing the wood for the blocks. They take a long time to cut into blocks and paint with alphabet letters on all four sides.

We had to get our own meals today, as Mrs. Claus was in bed most of the day. She has a cold and Santa thought she should rest. We all had a chance to make our favorite sandwich ~ Of course that's peanut butter and jelly. I hate to see Mrs. Claus sick, but the sandwiches were great!! Yum! Yum! I could eat them at every meal.

The reindeer had a long session of exercising ~ they were tired and hungry at supper time. They need to get into good shape for Christmas Eve or YOU boys and girls will not get any presents under the tree. Mrs. Claus told Santa that he needs to be on a diet, exercise and lose some weight or he will be stuck in the chimneys. Ha! Ha!

We went looking around the attic for some clothes to wear to our Halloween party. Mr. & Mrs. Claus always holds a costume party for all his workers. It's always fun bobbing for apples, eating ice cream and soda.

Well, I have to leave for now and hurry to the tv room. Don't forget to be good!! Santa knows!! Love Joan See you tomorrow!!

2009-10-27T04:45:00.000-07:00
Hello Everyone ~ Girls Boys Moms & Dads, too!

Jim , a novice elf, did a great job painting the little red trucks. Hopefully the paint will be dry enough to add the fireman's ladders to the truck in the morning. They will be so pretty when they're all done. So you kids better be good!!

However, let me tell you what happened this afternoon. I had a surprise birthday party given by Mr. & Mrs. Claus and all the elves. Santa even let the reindeer attend for a while. The room was all decorated with red and green streamers and balloons. In the center of the room was a table piled with gifts. I got mittens, scarf, earmuffs, boots, slippers, but my favorite present was from Mr. & Mrs. Claus ~ my very own Ipod! I can't wait to load my favorite western music in to my own Ipod! By the way Santa let us have the afternoon off from work!!

And the food was delicious ~ ice cream chocolate cake with a big red strawberry! But Mrs. Claus made us eat our peanut butter sandwiches first! It was a great party and the first one I ever had in my lifetime.

Well kids, that's all for today. You'll be hearing from me tomorrow!

Activities at the North Pole ~ Day 2

2009-10-27T04:24:00.000-07:00

Hello Everyone! Boys & Girls, Moms & Dads, too

What a night!! We're so tired here at the North Pole. The reindeer were scared by a small animal during the night. We stayed up most of the night trying to settle them down. They were really frightened, even Rudolph. And Mrs. Claus was so good to us ~ she brought us some goodies and hot chocolate every hour. It really tasted good!

We got some more dolls finished today. The dolls with the yellow dresses are all done and waiting to be delivered on Christmas Eve. They are so pretty that I hate to see them leave here. The Senior Elf started working on the firetrucks, mixing the paints so they can be painted a bright red. Another elf is making the ladders for the fire trucks.

It is still cool here at the North Pole, but there is very little snow, as yet. Don't worry kids ~ there'll by plenty of snow before Christmas Eve!. The reindeer didn't do any exercises today, as they were tired out from staying up all night. Tomorrow they will do some exercises, as it is very important for them to be in good shape on Christmas Eve! Yes, even Rudolph, but he won't be too happy!

A Custom Letter From Santa

Hello Boys, Girls, Moms & Dads too!!

I am Joan , an elf, who works for Santa Claus. I want to tell you about the exciting activities here at the North Pole!
All of us are so busy here, as time is passing quickly and we have so many toys to make and deliver on Christmas Eve.

Today we started making dolls and dressing them in such pretty clothes! Tom, the Senior elf, painted a doll's face and all the colors ran together, so he had to start all over. He wasn't happy!!

Another elf, Sue, dropped a can of paint on a carton of doll faces, so these had to be redone. Then the elves who were busily sewing the dolls dresses, had to stop working as the electricity went out for several hours. Even though we had all these drawbacks it was a very profitable day and I know there will be plenty of dolls for all the GOOD LITTLE GIRLS!!

The weather is starting to turn cold here at the North Pole. We had to start wearing our winter clothes. Santa started the reindeer on an exercise program so they'll be in good shape for their trip on Christmas eve. Rudolph didn't like to do the exercises, but he finally agreed to it.

Well, folks, that's all for today. Tune in tomorrow for the latest news from Santa and the North Pole.

Joan, the friendly elf!!

BE GOOD BOYS AND GIRLS!! SANTA IS WATCHING!!!! See you tomorrow!!
