Back Home
Operation Southern Cross was a huge success (the little sleigh incident notwithstanding). What a joy it is to see those kids' faces.
I returned just a couple of hours ago. Jingle, my chief of staff, pulled me into a staff meeting to review the final decision on the production cut-off date. All production will be discontinued at 8am on December 23rd. All receipts of procured goods will be discontinued at noon on December 23rd. A small "buffer" inventory of the most popular toys requested will be made and/or procured to ensure that the majority of late arriving letters will be covered. All goods will be pre-positioned, with the help of 10 reindeer teams and two large global express package carriers, at replenishment centers around the globe by 12:01am on December 24th. That leaves the entire day and much of the early Christmas morning hours for me and my team to deliver toys. Given the production and receipt deadlines, we will be publishing midnight December 22nd as the targeted deadline for lettters.
Well... I'm exhausted after that trip and the meeting I'm going to call it a night. Merry Christmas!

Tight scheduling!
I think you need a countdown "Days to Christmas" timer on your blog. Something with reindeer. :-) Of course it will have to be standardized to Greenwich Mean Time.
Sleep well, Santa. I'm glad your trip was a success, but how could it not be, with you spreading the cheer and spirit?!
Santa- I have not been around much this past week for I have been a little under the weather but I got a chance to catch up just a little tonight. So glad your trips have gone well but more than that was the visit with your physician. We must keep Santa in good health so glad that he is. I never knew you had so many helpers but should have know so as this is such an important job you undertake to make certain the little ones are taken care of.
Not much time left but much still needs to be done. Thank you Santa for all you do.
