Have you ever seen a month’s worth of work done in a single day?
At the North Pole, it was happening right before our eyes.
Elves moved swiftly through the workshop, wrapping, sorting, and stacking presents as fast as they could be made. Finished toys flew down conveyor belts and into Santa’s magical sack, which somehow grew larger with every gift tucked inside.
Outside, the reindeer stood proudly as elves brushed and polished until coats gleamed and harnesses shone. Bells were checked, then checked again, until the air jingled with readiness. Nearby, Santa’s sleigh sparkled so brightly it seemed to glow from within.
“A much better way to fly than a spaceship,” Santa said with a smile, watching the flurry of activity.
“Yup,” Waldo agreed.
It might have looked as though Waldo was simply standing there, but appearances can be deceiving. Waldo had been given an important role: Chief Christmas Eve Elf Observer. It was a position created especially for him—after a few past Christmases where he had accidentally wrapped himself into gift boxes and once even ended up under a tree.
Santa watched Waldo carefully observing the elves, nodding thoughtfully as they worked.

Satisfied that everything was running smoothly, Santa headed home to Mrs. Claus.
“Those elves are marvelous,” he said as he stepped inside. “I thought I’d be helping load the sleigh, but it seems I’m not needed at all.”
Mrs. Claus smiled as Santa sat down at the table.
“How about a snack?” he asked.
She was ready.
Mrs. Claus placed a plate in front of him—piled high with vegetables.
“Ho ho ho!” Santa laughed. “This is perfect! I’ll save the cookies for later tonight. Thank you for such a healthy snack!”
With that, Santa took a big, crunchy bite of a carrot.
Before long, it would be time.
Shortly after you go to bed tonight, Santa and his reindeer will lift into the sky and begin their journey around the world. And when you wake up…
It will be Christmas.
Merry Christmas from The North Pole Times!
