Elves Get Busy at Santa's Workshop
NORTH POLE, Alaska - If you think the malls are busy with just three days until Christmas, then you can imagine what it's like in Santa's workshop.
The hours are ticking away about as fast as the temperatures at the North Pole, where there's only about four hours of daylight this time of year.
But that's not stopping Santa and his elves in their workshop who are busy working to brighten the spirits of everyone this Christmas season.
With the economy in a major chill and zeroes representing not just the temperature but many people's life savings, there's a lot to cry about.
But don't tell that to Santa Claus. The power of positive thinking is alive and well with the chief executive officer of Christmas.
While there's no corporate jet for St. Nicholas, his sleigh serves as a green travel source powered by the most mysterious of forces.
"(It's) a very special magic ... We believe in doing the best we can and goodwill. People come here just for the goodwill," Santa Claus said.
"It makes you smile, and anything that makes the kids happy, that's really what makes it nice, having kids really makes you forget your troubles," a parent said.
About 250,000 kids sent their wish lists to the North Pole post office in Alaska. Some drew pictures, and others showed up in person to meet Santa Claus.
Some drew a blank when asked by Santa what they wanted this year.
"You better get that wish list in fast because those elves can work, but not that fast," Santa said.
