Dear Diary,
Ho ho ho! Only 52 days until Christmas!
The North Pole is buzzing with early cheer. The elves are back from their autumn break, full of energy and mischief. Sprinkles tried to install a marshmallow launcher in the toy workshop—again. Mrs. Claus gently redirected him to cookie duty.
As for me, today was suit-cleaning day. Tinselwick and Crispin scrubbed every inch of my red velvet coat and polished the buttons until they gleamed like Rudolph’s nose on a foggy night. There’s something satisfying about seeing the preparation of the uniform that brings joy to millions. I even found a peppermint tucked in the lining from last year—still minty!
Tomorrow, we begin the Naughty & Nice list updates. I’ve got my cocoa, my quill, and a stack of letters taller than a snowdrift. Let the magic begin!
Kris
