Day 9 - Snowmen and Emergency Requests

Dear Santa,

This is Trixie the elf, reporting in from house number JD11235813. I'm writing to report on the actions of one "Jack". Through most of the day, today, Jack was very good. He washed dishes with his mom, and poured more soap in the sink to make bubbles when she wasn't looking. He brushed his teeth and went to bed at bedtime. However, he did hide an overnight pullup a few days ago in his closet. When his mom found it, it smelled really bad.

Today, I met another group of stuffed creatures that live near the Christmas tree. They refer to themselves as snowmen, though there's not a bit of snow on them. However, they are plump white creatures with hats and scarves, so I can see where they would draw their conclusions. They're not played with that often, so I decided to show them a good time.


Here we were, caroling around a snow globe. We sang some old classics, like "Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow", and "Walking in a Winter Wonderland". I got a little misty-eyed as we sang "White Christmas" (Bing Crosby always gets to me). I also taught the snowmen some songs from the Disney movie "Frozen". We sang "Do you want to build a Snowman", which they loved. We finished the caroling with a rousing performance of everybody's favorite song, "Let it Go". I never get tired of that song.

Tonight, I had to make an emergency call for more rations, since my cookies ran out. The antenna in the main Christmas Tree wasn't transmitting properly, so I had to make a call on the mini tree in Jack's room. Unfortunately, the door to his room was closed. I climbed up to the door handle and attempted to move it, but I couldn't get it to work.

Then Jack's mom came to the door. She reached for the handle, and I guess she didn't see me. When she felt me as she grabbed the door handle, she screamed. She commented that she thought there was a bug on her hand. I would have apologized, but I fell from the door handle and hit my head. I was a little too dazed to respond.

After she had left the door open, I was able to make the call on the mini tree for the candy-cane drop. I can't wait to get some good food in my tummy. Truth be told, I accidentally took a bite of one of their salt-dough ornaments. That was disgusting. Thankfully, I completed my order before Jack found me on the tree


At this time, I have nothing else to report. I hope everything at the North Pole is going smoothly. I can't wait to get back in my little elf bed and eat some milk and cookies.

Eagerly awaiting the greatest Christmas ever,

Trixie the elf
