You know, Santa and his Elves joined the world of podcasting in an attempt to spread Christmas cheer, because without Christmas cheer, his slade just won't get off the ground.

North Pole. Hey, I didn't think you were coming back. Of course I'm back. We're doing this this cast potting thing right Yeah, but let's do dive right in. There's so much left to do before Christmas, and we can't Delhi Dali. Yeah, indeed, Santa. I thought we would start today with a question. I want to know, were you around at the very first Christmas? M good question. Um, No, I've been around a long time, but I haven't been

around that long. But some of the traditions from that first Christmas endoor, the match I gave gifts, we still do that. Yes, some families still put a star on top of their Christmas tree to symbolize the star that the magi followed. That's right, And I would like to think that the feeling of hope and magic from that first Christmas, well, that it can still be felt today. Only one way to find out. Let's make some calls. It's episode four for calling birds Hell. Hello, this is

Evergreen the Elf calling from the North Pole. I was hoping to speak with Freddie Rose. Hi, I'm Snowball the elp here to talk to Anderson and Amilia. Hello, I'm looking for Stephen and Mary.

I'm so glad to get to talk with you. Happy Christmas to you little friends THEO Are you with me? Good? Listen,

it's not just me here. This is Santa, but I also have my friends here as well. Two of my elves. I'm ever Green, the Old Hi, and I'm Snowball. Greetings from the North Pole. Hi, guys, it's very cold up here now. We're working very hard here in our elf workshop to build toys to deliver this Christmas. We wanted to ask you some questions. So tell me what you're excited about this Christmas? About you coming to our house to give us presents at night? Oh? Me too? What

else would be my first? My first Christmas with my baby sister Aria? Absolutely if I actually starting about everything, Jesus's birthday and family and friends, you and Christmas? Please? Got a new Christmas tree? Oh? Very nice? What does it look like? Pointing our first real train? How does it smell? Can you tell me about some of the traditions that you and your family have? How did your family celebrate the holidays? Well by baking gingerbread? Houses, bake

cookies and leave up the lane dare. Oh that's the love that What kind of cookies are you leaving I'm gonna have one right now, if you don't mind, I'm gonna just have a little to wash that down. Every day on Fantom, those people with houses cookies waving out for not everybody, elboys, quickness, that's true. What what do some people celebrate besides Christmas? Nica? That's right. So there's a lot of different traditions out there for the holidays. Huh, Jonah.

I also know that you celebrate one of my favorite holidays as well, Hanukkah? Is that right? Yes? We also made a Minora Oh those are so beautiful. I love Minora's. Let's let me ask you a couple of questions. Tell me Roman, how do you think I get down your chimney land on the roof? I do I do? How do I get my jolly old belly down that chimney? Though? Not it's Chris go, that's the secret. It's true. I

use banks and a whole lot of butter. Some of it's Christmas magic, some of it's just the things that you can find in your kitchen. And I have a quick question here though. I know they're really excited for you to be there, and they're gonna set out cookies. They don't have a chimney, and I'm sort of curious how they think you are going to get into, deliver presents and eat those cookies. That's a good question. How do you think I'm going to get inside? Is past? You? Can? You?

You get in now? Listen, nobody's supposed to know about that. Okay, I watch the watch, but listen. If you tell anybody about that, they're gonna know my secret. If you could have one Christmas wish, maybe for the whole world, what would it be. I think it would be that everybody can get their presence um at Christmas night the water, make more treats, to spend time a friend and family, to share kindness to all the people are All I want for Christmas is for my friends to have the

best Christmas that they can have in their lives. For Christmas morning, Christmas Day, every day, the lines for Christmas. That's all I can wish from my friends. You have such a sweetheart. That's what keeps you on the nice list year after year. Listen, we have to go, but I have had such a great time talking with you. You have a merry Christmas. Okay, you can you know all I want for Christmas is you. Oh, I love you, little friends. Have a merry Christmas. Bye bye. That's the stuff.

Were great, santacast thing it's working. I really think it's taking off like blitz In on Christmas Eve. Oh that was a good one, Snowball. No. Yes, I'm feeling very good, feeling much more gonefidentent. I feel a warm and fuzzy how about you? You know, on our last episode we asked you to do your part by spreading kindness to people you know. Something must be working because not only is the belief of meter going up, but the podcast is really taking off two and soon Santa and his

reindeer will take flight as well. Keep spreading that holiday chere. This episode of Santa Cast was recorded in the North Pole by Evergreen and Snowball with your host Santa Claus.
