Dear Diary

Where has the year gone? The workshop is humming like an excited beehive as we are finishing up on building toys and making sure everything is just right! Sprinkles is up to his old tricks, trying to get extra chocolate chips in his cookies and acting like he’s a star since he has a new recipe named after him. Dasher and Dancer are racing around the paddock like they’re kids, trying to see who is the fastest. And of course Rudolph is being his wonderful self, helping everywhere he can, working on team building exercises. You should see the trust falls he has created. Wow!

Mrs. Kringle is so supportive! I couldn’t do any of this without her cheerful disposition and can-do attitude. Just this morning she dragged me out of bed to feed me her special peppermint pancakes and hot cocoa to make sure I had the energy to put the finishing touches on spiffing up the sleigh! Speaking of which, the new gold filigree pinstriping is looking fabulous, if I do say so myself! This is such a wonderful time of year as the anticipation builds. Can’t wait to see all the children on Christmas Eve!
