A lot of people don't realize how many elves are needed to make this happen. Most people know about the elves production department, but we have a packing department, and we have a prep crew. Santa has 4 sleighs, and while he's up in one, the packing department is packing the other sleighs. Throughout the night, we trade sleighs, so that Santa can continue his journey non-stop.
There's footage of a burning barrel in South Philly makes the rounds on social media, and I plan to watch it in place of the standard yule log video on Christmas Day.
