Confession

Ten years ago Santa approached me and asked me to join his company, North Pole Limited. After completing an extensive elf training program I was assigned to the Minnesota territory.

Until now, I haven't told anyone about this, but now that the elf is out of the bag, I want to invite you all in for a glimpse of what my life is every year between Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve.

For proprietary reasons, I can't let you inside my workshop, but there are no rules about showing you the outside.

It's a myth that all the work is done at the North Pole.
There are actually mini-workshops all across the world
and I am the Director of Gadget Creation in the
Minneapolis Division.

Not to brag, but you can thank me for SkyMall.

My friend Jana tried to get a peak inside, but I caught
her in time. Someone just got added to the naughty list.

I rarely go out in to public wearing my uniform,
but I really needed to talk to my boss and I heard
he was at the mall.

These four are elves in training.

Every elf 's training starts out as Mall Santa Security
Guard. It gives Santa a chance to see how they work
with children. Only 1 in every 1225 applicants
make it to the next step in the training program.

T-minus 22 days until Christmas...
