Merry Christmas to All!

The dance last night was great and everyone was able to make it on time.  Santa and Mrs. Claus were there too, enjoying the sugary treats and tasty snacks spread out on the long banquet table that featured a tall cascading fountain of sparkling cider in the middle.  The room was garnished with holly and berries, large hanging snowflakes, strings of lights, a decorated tree (of course), and even a mirror ball.  The Research and Development team designed the ball to rotate in the light, casting bright colors all over the dance floor.  It was perfect!  Emma and I danced and danced until our feet hurt and it seemed all the elves were happy to take a break for fun. 

But now it's back to work as tonight is Christmas Eve.  There is a lot to do.  The reindeer's hooves have to be polished, their coats brushed 100 times, and antlers adorned with festive decor.  Then their harnesses need to be adjusted, the jingle bells spit shined, and all the other straps and reins fastened and secure.  We have a crew working on that and another one tending to Santa's big red sleigh to make sure it too is fit for the night ahead.  Once all that is done at R.H., they will bring the sleigh up to the loading door and we'll all begin filling it with those special Northpole packages for all the children of the world. 

So this is it everyone!  Christmas is almost here.  From all the Elves in the village and in the Christmas Workshop, from Santa and Mrs. Claus: 

Christmas time is here, all hearts filled with cheer as Santa's sleigh will take flight

Across the starry sky, over mountains and valleys, bringing presents throughout the night.

So snuggle up in bed, cover up that precious head so the magic can find you this year.

We wish your family peace, love, and happiness kissed with the blessings of holiday cheer! 

Merry Christmas!
