Tales From Santa’s Workshop

Here is I am skiing this morning

Hello Everyone!

We had a pretty busy day today. This morning we had our skiing lessons.  I only fell down 5 times so I guess I am getting better.  You should see our ski teacher Galaxy. He can even do jumps and flips while skiing down the hill. Hopefully, some day I can do that!

After we finished our lesson we went to Santa’s house for hot chocolate and homemade cider donuts (Delicious!).  As I was leaving to go to work, Santa called me into his office to show me my new scanner.  My new Canon Scanner is great, you should see how fast I can put Santa’s letters into the computer now.

Tomorrow I have to work in the toyshop rather than on Santa’s mail. Matty, the elf who does the painting sprained his wrist today during his Karate lessons so I have to finish painting the dolls. It will be fun to work in the toyshop again for a couple of days. I love to paint the dolls faces.

Tonight after supper my friend Crystal, Mrs Claus and I started decorating for Thanksgiving. We have so many decorations that we are only half done.

I cannot wait until Thanksgiving.  We always have a huge Thanksgiving dinner with apple pie for dessert. After we finish eating dinner we  go Christmas tree hunting in the woods behind Santa’s house. We pick a big tree and the reindeer drag it back to Santa’s house. We then have a Christmas tree decorating party which is so much fun.

Well I better say goodnight because Mrs. Claus is coming and I am supposed to already be in bed.

See you tomorrow!

Charlie feeding Cupid his lunch today after our skiing lesson

 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 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 was enough toys for everyone.

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!

P.S. I will take some pictures of us skiing for you.

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 it 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 isbtomorrow morning 9am. Wish me luck that I don’t fall down!

Bye!

I just got home from the Special Reindeer meeting tonight at Santa’s. The meeting was not as bad as we all thought it would be. Santa told the Reindeer that they had to stop fooling around and start getting ready for Christmas eve. He made all the Reindeer get on the scale to see how their diets were going. Two of the reindeer are still too fat - Donner and Cupid. Donner has to lose 5 pounds and poor Cupid has to lose 23 pounds. I feel kind of sad for Cupid as everyone is laughing at him because of his weight.

We have a new dog!  This afternoon we went for a ride in the sleigh with Santa and we saw a dog outside in the freezing cold so we picked him up. We tried to bring the dog home but the man at the grocery store told us the dog is a stray and does not have a home. So we brought him home with us. 

As you can be by the picture above, he is absolutely adorable! We named him Freddie. He is so smart; he can shake hands, roll over, and fetch a ball.  

Santa already has a dog named Sparkles who is kind of jealous of Freddie. So Freddie is going to stay in my room tonight. Mrs. Claus says that within a few days Sparkles and Freddie will get along better. My cat Ruby seems to already like Freddie. I guess Ruby likes everyone.

Mrs. Claus and I made Freddie his own bed on the floor in my room out of some old blankets from the attic. Freddie has already been sleeping in his new bed for a couple of hours now so I guess he likes it.

Well it is getting late and I still have not finished typing Santa’s letters into my new computer yet so I better say Good Night. I only have a half and hour to finish my work before our bedtime snack - I think we are having chocolate milk and Peanut butter and Ritz crackers (yum!).

See you tomorrow!

Picture of my new Sony Vaio Computer that Santa gave me for my new job!

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.

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.

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!

Hello Boys and Girls,

I am very tired tonight after staying up so late last night writing a 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

Hi everyone!

Sorry I did not have time to write to you today. We were 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.

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 about a half hour to find them all.  

Santa was mad at the reindeer for going into the woods, but Rudolph thought it was funny. I am not sure if the Reindeer were really lost of just playing a game on us. Some of the Reindeer, especially Rudolph, likes to play tricks on people.  Someday I 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.

See you tomorrow!
