Ask Elf Ernest

Elf Ernest is Santa’s Vice President of Public Relations at the North Pole. It is his job to answer questions. He has gladly done so for us since 1991. Most of the time he writes the news at SantaUpdate.com, where the story of Santa, his elves and reindeer is told every year. But every now and then he stops by here to answer to most common questions that believers in Santa Claus ask.
