Santa's Blog

Mood: Excited but sad too ... You'll see why.
Listening to: I'll be home for Christmas! Yep, sleeping good that morning! Ho-Ho-Ho!

Hello Everyone!

Boy what a crazy couple of days it's been in the electric department.  I didn't blog with you yesterday because the Elves blew a fuse!  Well with the hundreds of fuse boxes we have here in the castle they reported to me they didn't find the right fuse until about an hour after 'Ol Santa had left for his shopping and mall scenes.

Then this morning Mrs. Claus' most favorite Christmas lights didn't come on when we plugged them up on the Grand Tree.  We've had these lights for many years.  They are chasing lights, but they have five different patterns from fast to slow.  They are beautiful.  Well, they've been repaired several years already.  But today, the wires have just worn out right at the box that is sealed shut.   They are beyond repair - this greatly saddens us all, but it especially saddens Mrs. Claus.

They are trademarked lights, and they don't make them anymore, and we can't make them, as they are trademarked.  'Ol Santa is heading to the XmasMart for some grocery shopping today, and he'll have to pick up some ordinary lights.  Now, we're wondering, if we can remove the other lights, and put on the new ones without having to undecorate the tree.  This is a HUGE tree with TONS of decorations.  We're talking about a massive job if we have to undecorate and re-decorate.  Cross your fingers for us that we won't have to do that!

When 'Ol Santa went shopping yesterday, he found an Antique store.  It was a huge store.  It was so large, 'Ol Santa only got through half of the store.  It was exciting, as I perused things and saw toys I've given to children MANY a year ago!  And they had it all decorated for Christmas, with many Christmas ornaments for sale all through it.  That was neat too, as they had many old decorations, that we have and still use here at the Pole!

Dataelf reported to me that Sarah has posted 'Ol Santa's interview!  Ho-Ho-Ho 'Ol Santa is excited.  After he does his blog, he's going over there to check it out.  You can view it here:  http://unmentionables.blogspot.com/2006/12/interview-of-lifetime.html

We'll post it on the sidebar too, for future reference for anyone that wants to view the interview!  Once again, Sarah, thank you for the opportunity!!

Well, 'Ol Santa has to close now.  He has inventory to do for all the things he bought yesterday, and then he has to finish the grocery list, and head to the XmasMart - which reminds me, he has to add Christmas lights to the list now.  Oh, how sad.

Happiest of Holidays,
Santa Claus
