Santa Phone Calls are becoming more popular now that we can reach him. Until now, Santa calls were impossible, as there were no phones at the North Pole that were above ground. There is a new trend sweeping over the planet. Gone are the days when the only way we can communicate with Santa is through cards and letters. Thanks to a joint effort between The United States, Canada, The Soviet Union, Japan, and China, we can now call St Nick on the telephone. Internet ushered in the days of email and paved the way for wireless communication to such a degree that you could reach anyone almost anywhere. The problem was that no matter what we did, we could not overcome the problems that the magnetic North Pole created. While there is internet at the North Pole, it is only in Christmas Towne and is not connected to the outside world. The Magnetic pole will not let the signal through.
This is no longer a problem as the countries named above, along with several others have finally completed project "Santa Calls." For the last several years, these nations finally got together and at Santa's request, worked around the clock stringing phone lines. The destination was the North Pole and the work took many years to complete. It was funded by these governments so that we would be able to communicate with Santa and take the burden off the United States Postal Service and the postal services of the other countries, which were starting to show the strain of keeping up with the demands of an ever-growing population.
The most difficult part, according to workers, was reaching Christmas Towne, which as most people know, is buried about a mile underground. Santa phone calls would never be possible without finding a way to run the lines to Christmas Town. Fortunately, that part was taken care of for us as elves worked their way up to the surface while we worked to get across the frozen tundra and flowing ice.
Christmas Towne, as it is called there, already had a phone system in place. Thought to be the most advanced and unique system on the planet, they (the elves) somehow solved the magnetic distortion problems many years ago and already had telephones when we were communicating with telegraph and smoke signals. Very few people ever heard the story of Alexander Graham Bell's trip to the north and subsequent conversation with Santa. This fortunate event led to the development of our first telephone technology. Christmas Towne had developed the concept when their population reached the one million mark, as it was getting harder and harder for their tiny post office to keep up with the Christmas Towne mail, which was their only means of long distance communications up to that point in the early sixteen hundreds. Santa calls were essential for them to tie all the toy factories together.
It was a historic day, indeed when Santa received his first five phone calls from the heads of each country involved with the effort. The first conversation came from Canada. Prime Minister of Canada, Steven Harper is quoted as saying while he made the call, "I am deeply touched, and honored to be the first person to make a phone call to Mr. Clause." The US president, moved almost to tears, also expressed his elation as being the first citizen of the U.S. to speak to Santa over the phone. The first words spoken were, "Santa, I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the Uncle Sam piggy bank I received when I was 3 years old. I still have it to this day. It is one of the most valuable possessions and I will cherish it always." Santa replied, "You are welcome. You were a very good boy.
