Well, we are on the downhill run into Christmas now and I have to say that it is not a moment too soon for me. All this travelling to the North Pole and back, even using magic, is wearing me out.
As a result of all the hard work that both us and the elves have put in we are now able to offer the North Pole Enforcement Liaison support. This means that if Santa does get it wrong on Christmas Eve, we can deal with any investigations and inquiries. To do this we needed to get our Enforcement Liaison Agreement signed and lodged with us.
So with that peace of mind in place, I am off sledging with the Polar Bears, not my choice but you don’t say ‘no’ to 2 tons of very friendly bear!

I am finding this magical way of working rather difficult to understand at times. As a mobile worker Santa falls under certain rules that require him to limit the hours he works, but with the addition of magic he can achieve an unbelievable amount of work in a very short amount of time.
Now the rules say that Santa can only work for 6 hours before he has to stop for a 30 minute rest period, but with the addition of magic that would get Santa a quarter of the way around the world. This means he would have 3 breaks roughly in India, England and Mexico. That should make for interesting meal choices.
No wonder Father Christmas is a large jolly chap, all those mince pies, snacks and enforced meal stops. Perhaps that is how he manages to not feel the effects of all the alcohol he is left by the nice children of the world.
