Dear Gary,

In a typical year my elves answer most of our letters to Santa Claus. Unfortunately, the pandemic that hit most countries across the globe has made it’s way here to the North Pole as well, leaving us very short handed. Honestly, my elf helpers are always “short” handed. Sorry, that’s an inside joke around here. My whole crew is around two and a half feet tall.

That fact has caused the COVID to hit us harder than most regions. We have adhered to all COVID restrictions and suggestions. However, we have had some unique problems develop as we try to follow the rules....
