Christmas Alert!!!  Three of Santas reindeer are holding out for a contract extension. Rudy wants more vacation time plus better vegetation. Dancer says hes looking for a better spot on the sleigh and a pay raise. Donner is unavailable for comment but rumor has it he wants better health benefits and is thinking about retirement. Rudy and his agent met with Santa this week and Rudolph left angry telling the Northpole Press that it was like this his first year when everyone made fun of his nose. "Its gonna take more than a little fog to get me to pull that heavy thing this year" Santa responded by putting the rebelious reindeer on the naughty list. In the latest Northpole opinion poll 35% of people are unsatisfied with the job Santa is doing and 73% are sympathetic to the reindeer and their plight. As an act of good faith all the Christmas elves are continuing to work around the clock and phonelines to the Northpole remain open for parents who wish to either order or cancel their lists to Santa. Santa hasnt been seen in the last week but was seen two weeks ago at sleigh practice He reportedly was training possible replacement reindeer and looking at advanced weather predictions for Christmas Eve.
