Christmas comes but once a year, but Santa has places to be all the year 'round. Sometimes he wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of the North Pole and come south to the Bluegrass to kick back and just relax. He likes it there. We like it when he's there.
To be honest (and I pretty much have to be honest to stay off the naughty list), none of the elves are all that upset when the old tub of figgy pudding decides to make himself scarce. Summer and fall are OK because he's got a side hustle posing for cheap tchotchkes they sell in places that never get cold. With global warming and all, demand is high. He stays plenty busy on the off-season.
The problem is when we hit late November and we start getting into the busy season. Let's be clear about this: we're the ones who are busy, not ding-dong-merrily-on-high boy. All of a sudden he's everywhere, and don't get me started on his obsessive list-making.
This year's going to be different. We're making the lists this time. Santa's going to be out making the merry more than he has the last few years, and we want to keep him out with the reindeer and out of our hair. We've got a couple of things cooking that we should be able to announce sometime in October, but we're open to your ideas.
And by 'open' we pretty much mean 'desperate.'
Have an idea? Drop us an email at Elf-O-Matic@SantaNKY.com and let us know how to get in touch with you and where you've met Santa before. Someone, maybe one of us, maybe Mrs. Claus -- or maybe even Mr. " Oh look at me, I'm Jolly Kris Kringle" himself -- will get back in touch.
Us elves will get the logistics figured out. As usual.
Keep being good!
