North Pole Times

The online journal of the North Pole: for cyber-kids and true believers. The most immediate concern is a crisis concerning Santa having some spacecraft issues:

On Thanksgiving, Santa Claus and Waldo Elf were blasted into orbit aboard The Santa Shuttle, an unfinished spaceship. Although Santa and Waldo are safe, they don’t have any way to land.

Various other elves check in on a variety of issues:
