250 Days Until Santa’s Launch

,

The North Pole quietly marks 250 days remaining until Santa’s launch. It has been a very eventful time at the North Pole the past two months. Here is a brief recap of where things stand:

– Santa is not at the North Pole. He left on walkabout nearly a month ago and has not been heard from since. It may be months before he returns.
– Mrs. Claus has been in charge in Santa’s absence and has announced a number of changes.
– The North Pole now has four senior vice presidents over Production, Operations, Distribution and Public Relations. Several departments also have new leadership, including:
– Elf Roger Star is the new director of North Pole Flight Command.
– Elf Crash Murphy is the new International Director of Santa Trackers.
– North Pole Flight Command reports that all preparations for Santa’s launch are on track.
– Santa’s Workshop reports that production is on track for a successful Christmas season.
– All of Santa’s reindeer have successfully migrated back to their native homelands and will return to the North Pole sometime later this year.
– Santa’s new sleigh is still in the design phase and will start test flights soon.

In all, Mrs. Claus reports that all phases of Operation Merry Christmas are optimistic of being ready for Santa’s flight in 2023.

International Director of Santa Trackers Named

, ,

Elf Roger Star, new director of North Pole Flight Command, announced today a new International Director of Santa Trackers. Elf Crash Murphy, famously called the Ultimate Santa Tracker, has been promoted to the position.

Elf Crash Murphy was the inspiration for the Tracker Elf program instituted by Santa in 2016. As Kringle Radio’s “Eye-in-the-Sky” reporter, Elf Crash has dutifully followed Santa in a chaser sleigh every Christmas Eve for years, giving live radio reports of Santa’s activities on his annual sleigh ride.

His Santa tracker efforts led to the idea that millions of believers around the world could be deputized to “track Santa for Santa”, aiding the Big Guy by reporting on local conditions in advance of Santa’s arrival in neighborhoods, villages, towns and cities worldwide.

Since that time millions of people of all ages have taken the Elf Oath and engaged with North Pole Flight Command as “tracker elves”.

Elf Crash Murphy now leads this growing group of elves, replacing Elf Roger Star, who headed up the pilot program for years under Santa’s direction.

“Elf Crash Murphy is the natural leader for this group,” said Elf Ernest, Senior Vice President of Public Relations, which operates the News Department at the North Pole. Elf Ernest has been Crash’s boss as part of his radio assignments. “Nobody knows these elves better. He has contributed hours to their training. He participates in regular chats and podcasts and news reports, all aimed at support the elf community. We’re thrilled for him.”

Elf Crash begins his assignment immediately. By special arrangement with Santa, Elf Crash will continue his broadcasting duties every Christmas Eve.

As the new International Director of Santa Trackers it is expected that Elf Crash will continue to participate in North Pole podcasts and radio news reports in that capacity.

Changes Coming to Flight Command

, ,

Elf Roger Star has taken charge of North Pole Flight Command.

As new director of Flight Command Elf Roger Star has said his first order of business is to review the organizational structure.

North Pole Flight Command is charged with planning and executing the flight components of Operation Merry Christmas from the North Pole. It is a massive organization with wide ranging duties.

While it is expected that Elf Roger will first name his replacement as International Director of Santa Trackers there are many other changes within Flight Command that are expected.

Over the years, especially the past six years with the growth of the Tracker Elf program, North Pole Flight Command has become the largest department at the North Pole.

Elf Roger has spent many hours with Santa personally discussing not only the growth of the tracker elf program but he has been involved with Santa’s efforts to make that organization of elves operate more smoothly and efficiently.

Last year the Tracker Elf program emerged from pilot program status as an established department operating under the Tracker Department of North Pole Flight Command. Elf Roger is expected to further develop the way tracker elves around the world contribute to Santa’s flight.

So many changes – or upgrades, as Elf Roger likes to call them — are expected in the weeks ahead.

That means lots of opportunity going forward for all elves who work at North Pole Flight Command.

Elf Roger Star to Lead North Pole Flight Command

, ,

In a surprise announcement today Mrs. Claus said that Elf Roger Star will take up duties as the new director of North Pole Flight Command, effective April 1st.

North Pole News Network

Elf Roger has been serving as the International Director of Santa Trackers where he led the elf community at Santa Trackers.net.

Mrs. Claus explained in her written announcement that the promotion for Elf Roger is the first of several restructuring changes at the North Pole that will be rolled out over the next few weeks and months.

That means the job Elf Roger has had for six years as International Director of Santa Trackers will be held by someone else soon.

Elf Sandy Claus is taking applications and screening candidates now. It is expected that Mrs. Claus and Elf Roger Star will name a replacement in the coming weeks.

Interested elves should contact Elf Sandy as soon as possible.
