    Ol’ Santa will have to import some brownies from the South Pole to get the job done.

    Santa counters with an offer to turn up the heater a couple of degrees.

    The elfs have no choice but to acquiesce.

    A nice batch of cookies should cheer them up.

    These days, Santa’s helper is not elves, but Amazon.

    They should have read the small print in their contract. Santa put in a clause to prevent these short stoppages.

    Shorter hours? A small raise?

    I’d demand more elf-enrichment classes.

    1) He moved his operation to the South Pole in 1904. He saw the global warming writing on the wall. (Also his Light Elves told him that Antarctica was the original North Pole in ancient times.)

    2)He is part Light Elf and this whole scenario is more a reflection of North America than Xmas Town.

    3)Light Elves, and their polar opposite Dark Elves are the size of humans. Though they can change size. Being part Light Elf Santa understands his people. This is a collaboration not a typical boss and employee scenario.

    Automation came early for Santa. Makes it easier for him to continue the “Santa-Space Spider wars” that occupy more and more of his time.
