Polar Resolutions
Hi, Everyone! Well, the power is back on, the snow is shoveled, and the Pole is hopping with activity again! I asked everyone what their New Year's Resolutions were, and I got some pretty interesting responses:
Thessaly Tinselcom: create a GPS device that increases the efficiency of my Christmas Eve deliveries by 48%. (I'm not sure how she came up with 48%!)
Rob Ronderbaunt: rebuild the original SledGT, my original classic sleigh he's been keeping in the back of the garage. Cherry!
Coach Bear Bryan: wants to learn to water-ski! This might be an impossible dream, but Mrs. Claus and I told him we'd try to fly him somewhere he could do this.
William K. Beakman, III: Bill wants to extend his stay! He's supposed to return to the South Pole the middle of this month, but his resolution is to stay through spring. We'd love to have him stay!
Kevin the elf: eat a little more.
Sally Ann resolved to start donating her hair (remember she has to get a haircut once a DAY) to a wig company, for kids who lose their hair because they're fighting cancer! I thought that was pretty considerate.
Spooky has resolved to audition for the Met, the New York Metropolitan Opera. How excellent is that?!
Related to this, Snoop "Puppy" Dogg wants to send his mix tape to a producer in Hollywood to see if he can get a rap deal. Where did all these talented musicians come from? o<|;^D
And finally, Rufus Instubble, our animal keeper, wants to become fluent in Spanish. He loves learning languages! He knows French, Icelandic, and and Pig Latin! He doesn't know any Spanish right now -- when I heard his resolution, I said, "Feliz Navidad!" and he thought I said "fleas are evident." He has a lot to learn.
What a great year so far!
More soon...
Love,
Santa
