October is Here

Well, October is finally here and I'm getting very excited about Halloween coming soon! I have not a clue what I'm going to dress up as, but several elves have begun making their costumes already. Training of this year's new recruits has been going very well. I think this may be the best bunch of visiting elves we've turned out yet! Of course we have a few elves who went visiting last year and have had to go back through training this year. But, I think they're all doing splendid. I haven't heard from the Jolly Guy where I'll be headed this holiday season but I'm pretty sure I'll be visiting my favorite holiday family in Ohio! I was discussing with Santa this evening placement for the some of the new recruits and I began feeling a little sad and lonely for my holiday family. So, I was granted a special visit to my holiday family's home to check in on them. It was so great and I was very thankful to the Jolly Guy for letting me visit in the off season. The two boys of the house looked great! They seem to have grown quite a bit since last year. I saw that they still have a cat & dog. I think Melanie (the cat) forgot who I was since she hissed at me when she first saw me in the house. But then I pet the top of her head right between her ears and she was fine. Cooper (the dog) remembered me right away! He licked my face and I nearly fell backwards! I think my holiday family is remodeling their house! There are no doors on any of the cabinets! I hope they put the doors back on... It looks a little silly and messy without them. I gave both the boys a kiss on their cheeks and checked in on holiday mom & dad before returning home to the Pole. It was so great to be back there even for a couple of hours! I can't wait until my visit this year!

It's October!!

Right now at the North Pole, the elves are getting ready for Halloween!  Oh, yes, we love Halloween!!  The Halloween spirit is very much alive here at the North Pole!  Some elves have strung spooky spider webs throughout the toy workshop, stocked up on sweets for trick-or-treating and even started comparing notes on their costumes!  Elf Perry has been stocking up on supplies to create his own spooky haunted house this year.  So far, he's gotten some plastic bugs and a scarecrow. Every year, Perry's haunted house brings in elves from all over the area. They just love a little scare before Christmas!  I haven't decided what I'm going to dress up as this year.  Does anyone have any suggestions??  Leave your comments if you have any ideas!!
