Santa's Workshop ~ Diary of Ashlee the Elf!
Santa helping us carry presents today
Hi everyone & my new friend Stephanie!
How are you doing? I am doing great! We have been so busy getting ready for Christmas eve that I haven't had time to write to you lately (Sorry!). I have been helping Santa check his list to make sure he hasn't forgotten anyone. (Note to Stephanie: I found your name on Santa's list....it says that you have been good this year).
We are almost finished wrapping all the presents. I really like to wrap the toys but I have to admit my fingers are starting to get tired from tying the bows. You should see Santa's house, it is stuffed to the ceiling with toys.
Santa let us take the afternoon off so my friends Crystal, Charlie, and I went skiing. We had so much fun. Can you believe I did not even fall down! We only got to ski for two hours as it gets dark early here. It starts to get dark around 4 o'clock.
When we got back from skiing, we helped Mrs. Claus cook supper. We had delicious homemade bread, macaroni and cheese and chocolate pudding (yum!) for dessert.
After supper we all went for a sleigh ride because Santa wanted the Reindeer to get some practice before Christmas eve. Even though it was snowing, we still had a lot of fun. We sang Christmas carols and drank hot chocolate from a thermos. I wish you could see the North Pole from the sky like we can...everything is so magical. It looks like Millions of pretty lights dancing on the snow.
My poor cat Ruby had a scare tonight. She climbed the giant Christmas Tree outside of Santa's house and got stuck. When we returned from our sleigh ride, we heard Ruby crying (meowing) for help. It was really scary because she was way up near the star. Luckily Santa and Ruldoph flew to the top of the tree and saved her. I hope Ruby learned her lesson and will not climb any more christmas Trees.
Well I better say goodbye for now as I have to put on my pajamas before Mrs. Claus calls us for our snack. I think we are having peanut butter crackers (my favorite!)
Talk to you tomorrow!
Ashlee .... Your favorite elf ... I Hope! 
P.S. I received an email from my new friend Stephanie the other day. I guess people have been teasing her about Santa. I don't understand why anyone would be so mean. Christmas is the best time of the year! Why can't everyone be happy and let the Spirit of Christmas shine on through Santa. So Stephanie and all my other friends do not let mean people ruin your happiness. There is really no reason to argue about Santa, as long as you believe in him, it does not matter what other people believe. Some people do not even believe elves are real, but both you and I know the truth. Remember to be happy and listen to your parents.
well i got to go and get ready for bed because my mom said.
