Dear Boys and Girls, and All Who Hold Christmas Dear, no matter how old:
Merry Christmas! I hope you like the presents I brought for you! I enjoyed giving them to you, and seeing how beautiful your houses and apartments have been decorated! And I also liked all the snacks that were left for me! Ho ho ho! There were a lot of interesting and tasty treats left out for me!
Have you had a good day so far? What's been your most favorite part so far? What was the gift that you got that you liked the best? I hope you appreciate the love and care that was put into getting those presents for you. It's because you are special that Christmas is so special!
It's sort of strange having Christmas on a Sunday, isn't it? I'm guessing some of you didn't even have any days off from school this past week. But now, many of you have the week off between Christmas and New Years Day to play with your toys and read your books and do all sorts of fun things.
I'm about to go give Mrs. Claus her Christmas present. I got her a journal (that's a blank book that she can write in every day--she loves to write) and a very nice pen. I also got her a sweater, and a new set of measuring cups for her kitchen. I know she has some stuff to give me as well! Yes, even Santa gets excited about getting presents at Christmas!
It has been my honor and pleasure to bring you give this year, and I hope to have the chance to write you again next year, when the sorties of my adventures will be told, as they always are, by The North Pole Times!
Editors note: From time to time, The North Pole Times asks some of the more notable citizens of the North Pole to write a little bit about themselves as a public service to our readers. Today, Adamup Elf writes about the things he counts--and the things he doesn't!
Santa Claus sat in his study and looked at the two Elves sitting with him. Waldo and Teema Elf both looked sad and a little scared. "I want to talk to you both about what's been happening this season," said Santa. He turned to Teema. "Do you know what a bully is?" he asked her.
The North Pole was buzzing with excitement today--well, since Elves live at the North Pole, it buzzes with excitement every day--but today's excitement involved the first annual North Pole's Got Talent contest!
When Santa Claus announced his plan to stage "North Pole Idol"--the North Pole version of American Idol--he had expected the elves to be excited about the show. But to his surprise, no one signed up!
Waldo Elf walked through the streets of the North Pole with a big smile on his face. While it’s not unusual for Waldo to be smiling, today’s smile seemed extra-wide.
