In
a recent interview about the handling of Santa letters, Santa
himself revealed a long kept secret. Mice help organize and maintain
the many letters received at the North Pole. This news is shocking
because it is the elves that have long been given credit for helping
Santa with every detail of the Christmas preparation.
Santa
Claus disclosed in an interview with the North Pole Gazette that
Christmas letters begin pouring into his mailbox as early as September
every year. Santa said that he realized he could not keep track
of the gazillions of letters by himself, and he stressed that
he did not want to overlook even one of those carefully crafted
notes. Santa said that his elves are too busy making toys to assist
with such a task so he had to be innovative in finding helpers.
As he looked around the North Pole he thought about the many animals
that live there. It’s true that birds and fish often help
with the delivery of the santa
letters but they live outdoors, Santa needed help after the
letters arrived, after they are in his house. Suddenly, like a
bolt of lightning Santa thought about the thousands of mice that
live with him and Mrs. Claus. The fact is that the mice like to
stay indoors, where it is warm and cozy. And they are always asking
what they can do to help out, but in the past it seemed their
size kept them from being very helpful at all. However, even a
little mouse can help organize mail.
Santa immediately set out to teach his mice how to organize the
mail in a way that would expedite the entire system. Santa and
Mrs. Claus labeled baskets for each of the various countries and
for each type of animal. All the mice had to do was place each
letter in the appropriate basket. This meant that a santa
letter from a dog would go into the dog basket and a letter
from a rabbit into the rabbit basket, and so on.
The mice caught on to the idea
very quickly and before long Santa had his mail organized, making
it much easier to keep up with. Mrs. Claus was happy because the
huge pile of mail by the front door was now neatly organized in
pretty Christmas baskets.
Hailei
Corin, is Santa’s little public relations guru and she states
“Santa can now insure that everyone that sends a letter
to him will receive
personalized letters from santa. It seems this has eased Santa’s
mind immensely as he shared one of his greatest worries in the
past was that he would somehow miss a few letters, and children
somewhere waiting for letters
from santa would be disappointed”.
Expect to hear more about this
exciting news as time goes on. Santa himself has dubbed his little
helpers as “Santa’s Christmas Mice” and has
named them his official mail helpers for all years to come.
