Santa's Workshop ~ Diary of Ashlee the Elf - Day 35
Santa's Sister Rosie
Hi everyone!
Sorry I haven't written to you in a few days. We have been having a lot problems up here at the North Pole. Over the weekend we had a giant blizzard. We got 29 inches of snow. You should see the huge snow drifts we have. Then the next day we had a terrible ice storm.
We haven't had any electricity for almost 3-1/2 days. The electricity finally came back on right before supper. Thank goodness; I do not like the dark. Well, we were not completely in the dark because we had tons of candles lit and the fireplaces had fires but it was still kind of spooky.
We have been busy wrapping presents in the toyshop for the last few days. Luckily there is an underground tunnel that connects Santa's house to the toyshop so we didn't have to go outside in the snow to go to work.
Tomorrow my friends Crystal, Bobbijean and I are going to help Mrs. Claus bake pies for Thanksgiving. We have a lot of pies to bake as we are going to have 67 people for Thanksgiving dinner. Mrs Claus always invites the neighbors over for the Holidays.
Oh, I almost forgot to tell you that Santa's sister Rosie and her husband Donnie are here visiting for the holidays. They are lucky they made it Santa's house safely. They got caught in the blizzard several days ago and had to stop at a hotel because the roads were so slippery. The next day Santa and the reindeer had to go pick them up. The weather was so bad, they did not get home until almost midnight.
Well I better say goodnight as it is getting very late. Everyone else has been in bed for almost an hour now.
Talk to you tomorrow!
