Operation Christmas Eve 2008 Is Underway!

This is my FAVORITE day of the year! It is just after midnight on Wednesday, December 24th. Operation Christmas Eve 2008 is now fully underway. The entire North Pole crew is in full gear for the next 24+ hours. Many - myself, Mrs. Claus, and the senior elf staff included- started around 4am this morning and we'll just work all the way through. Close to 48 hours of no sleep. But we are powered by pure, high-octane Christmas Spirit.

I am about to walk over to the sled inspection. The reindeer are sleeping right now but will be awakened in about 3.5 hours to eat the big carbo-loading breakfast and begin their preparations. I am ready to go!

I'll be updating my log periodically today. You can also track my progress today at http://www.noradsanta.org/
