Friday's Top Ten

The top ten secrets kept by Santa's Elves:

10. Santa snores

  9. Mrs. Claus gets her gingerbread delivered from North Pole Bakery

  8. Vixen does the chicken dance after two cups of egg nog

  7. Back in 1763, Santa forgot to recharge the magic in his sleigh

  6. When Santa takes a nap, Mrs. Claus hides his remote or he won't go back to work

  5. Prancer and Blitzen almost always argue over the same set of jingle bells

  4. The Sugar Plum Fairy and the Nutcracker got married last summer

  3. Santa barely averted a strike by the sleigh packers

And the #1 secret kept by Santa's Elves:

Egg nog is powerful stuff, for sure. And who knew about the Sugar-Nut union?

Hey, everyone...I'll be back here to comment later in the day. Ten million items on my list to accomplish before noon. I have about thirty minutes right now, and I'm going to get to as many of your blogs as I can. The rest I'll get to later today and over the weekend. I need a Ninja elf :)

Hahaha
#8 is by far my favorite. :D
Carol Kilgore saidā€¦
Melissa - I understand the only reason the elves told is because Vixen refused to pay the bribe to keep them quiet :)
Linda G. saidā€¦
LOL! I always suspected Santa snores. ;)
Carol Kilgore saidā€¦
One elf said he sounded like a freight train.
