Northern Lights, Dancing With the Stars, and the Naughty List

Dec. 3, 2014

Yesterday was an awesome day to be out on the snow. Sugar Slopes was packed with elves practicing for the Elf Olympics on Friday. I am getting kind of nervous, I tell you what!

Last night, after practice, I sat in the hot tub on the front porch of Sugar Slopes Lodge and watched the Northern Lights as I sipped hot chocolate. It was amazing! Have you ever seen the Northern Lights? You should google some pictures, if you get the chance. It’s awesome.

Santa Claus is busy working with an agent to see if he can get on that American TV show, “Dancing With the Stars.” Apparently, he’s up against Dog the Bounty Hunter and Michael Moore. Incidentally, he was mistaken for Mr. Moore when he was down in New York City for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2009, which was kind of insulting. Here’s a picture from 2009 taken at an airport in Las Vegas on Christmas Eve. I don’t think he looks like Michael Moore at all, do you?

 

Anyway, I think it’s a waste of time, plus, Santa’s not a very good dancer. He’s so nice, though. I don’t have the heart to tell him there’s no possible way he can win. Oh well.

Reports are coming in daily about the good and bad behavior of children around the world. We have a huge digitalized list of children behind the stage at the North Pole Conference Center. The names flicker like those little white Christmas lights you see on people’s houses with names bouncing from one list to the other by the second. Probably shouldn’t mention this, but Miley Cyrus topped the naughty list for years until her birthday last month when she turned 21 (the official North Pole age of adulthood).

Speaking of which, the naughty side is really long this year, unfortunately. Yikes! I hope that changes soon! One of the big things that the elf agents are reporting is sharing, or rather, NOT sharing. Little kids love the toys Santa brings, but they don’t like sharing them. What the junk? Being selfish with your toys is NAUGHTY! So start sharing so you can get back on the nice list! (You know who you are...)

Of course, they also report that a lot of children are being nice by offering to help Mom and Dad with chores around the house. That is really nice! Keep up the good work!

Tata for now,
