Dear New Recruits,
Hi. My name is Rudolph. I'm a reindeer, and I have worked for Santa for about ten years now. I'm a little weird. I have a nose that glows bright red. I used to be laughed at because of this, but then Santa offered me a job, and since that almost never happens, everyone loved me after that. But this isn't about me. It's about Christmas. See, a lot of people always wonder how we manage to deliver so many presents in one night. Well, it's even harder than people think: We don't just deliver presents to people, we deliver them to all the animals in the world, too! And that seems pretty much impossible, I know, even if you're the Flash (yes, reindeer watch TV, too), but today I'm going to tell you how we do it. It's a very ancient secret that only Santa, Mrs. Claus, and Santa's reindeer know about. We're not allowed to tell anyone else. But all the new recruits get to learn the secret, and this time it's my job to tell you. So before you keep reading this, you have to be completely sure that you want to do this.
Ok, so here's the secret: Santa is not human. He is one of the two last ones of his race (the other being Mrs. Claus). This race has the power to manipulate time. So every year, at Christmas, Santa stops time and we deliver all the presents! It's really cool.So, now your ready to start working here.
Have fun!
Yours truly,
Rudolph
