Santa’s Workshop Hit by Occupy Elves

North Pole — Reports coming out of the North Pole have been documenting the Occupy Santa’s Workshop protests that have been rife through Twitter but unsubstantiated the past few days. It seems Santa’s Elves have been quite upset about the massive work reduction over the last few years. Even Santa’s reindeer have joined the protest against the 1 (since all at the the North Pole are protesting the actions of Santa, the occupy’s movement has been focus has been reduced to just 1 from the usual 1%).

One of he spokespeople Prancer said, “Santa has outsource a massive amount of our delivery to Amazon over the past few years. We reindeer were initially fine with the outsourcing as it reduced our ever increasing load as the global population has risen. He stated the elves were the first ones to be negatively hit by all the outsourcing and really started feeling the crunch four years ago. At that time Santa was said to rationalize all of this by saying elves were rather small and could easily manage through the lean times.

At this point nobody is certain if Santa’s Christmas Eve delivery ride will be impacted this year by the protests. The Elves have been blocking the barn door to where Santa reportedly stores his magical sled. Police from Point Barrow, Alaska and from somewhere in Norway (we know where but the name has too many strange vowels in it for us to write or to say) have been said to been boarding black helicopters and heading this way. Some said they thought they saw them armed with canisters of peppermint spray, but this has not been confirmed either.

— Also of note: Side conversation in the background one of the other reindeer was overheard mentioning the failure of the “Santa is not real” campaign has lagged far behind the population expansion and been seen as a failure by most at the North Pole, much of this attributed by children under 11 are not on Facebook or other social media services that their marketing people were so hot to target in their “social media value add package”. A reindeer named Rudolph nose glowed very brightly when this was mentioned.

With this too, we are not sure what the outcome will be.
