My sleigh and reindeer keep disappearing from the North Pole. Luckily, NORAD tracking and Sherlock Elf are helping to solve this Christmas Mystery.
I’ll keep posting updates here in my blog and on my Twitter and Facebook accounts until we solve this.
Merry Christmas,
Santa Claus

Here is what we know so far!
NORAD Tracking Mystery Update #1
UPDATED: Saturday December 15th, 2018 Midnight
The elves have confirmed that some of my reindeer and sleigh are missing!!! Luckily NORAD is tracking them. Or maybe the #NORADSantaTracker is just having technical issues making it LOOK like I’ve left the North Pole and am delivering presents already? You can see for yourself at https://www.noradsanta.org/overlay/tracking/map/index.html
Don’t worry. I am still safe at the North Pole. You can track me there on both my Santa webcam and the Santa Snooper.
Here’s a photo of me with MrsC from a few minutes ago!
I have sent Sherlock Elf to investigate my missing sleigh and reindeer further! We’ll keep you posted!

Missing Sleigh Mystery Update #2
UPDATED: Sunday December 16th, 2018 8:00 a.m.
Every time I check with #NORADSantaTracker, it shows that my sleigh and reindeer are flying! You can see too at https://www.noradsanta.org/overlay/tracking/map/index.html
Did u see?
Sherlock Elf of the Nawdy N. Nice Elf Detective Agency is investigating.
He reminded me of the last time my sleigh went missing.
Did u read the stories at #emailSantacom?
This time is different.
My reindeer keep bringing the sleigh back to the North Pole but then my sleigh takes off again! #NORADSantaTracker is showing that it is delivering gifts too. What is going on? I hope we can fix it before Christmas Eve!
This is quite the #ChristmasMystery. What do you think is happening?
Stay tuned!
NORAD Tracking Mystery Update #3
UPDATED: Sunday December 16th, 2018 8:00 p.m.
My sleigh and reindeer are still taking off from the North Pole without me! You can see it at https://www.noradsanta.org/overlay/tracking/map/index.html
Sherlock Elf noticed that the #SantaTracker says I’m delivering hundreds of gifts too! But I’m not. It’s not Christmas Eve yet. You can see I’m still at the North Pole on my Santa webcam. Sherlock Elf thinks it’s an imposter driving my sleigh.
Sherlock Elf also discovered that SOMEONE did something to my sleigh. Instead of helping deliver presents, it’s now sucking up all the presents that people have in their houses! That is what the #SantaTracker is counting: all the STOLEN presents! This is terrible news!
Here’s a screenshot from NORAD moments ago (click to see a larger version):
I’m getting very worried.
Sherlock Elf says to stay tuned!
Missing Sleigh Mystery Update #4
UPDATED: Monday December 17th, 2018 12:00 p.m.
Sherlock Elf has been busy investigating what is happening with my missing sleigh and reindeer. My sleigh keeps disappearing from the North Pole. Luckily, the reindeer keep bringing it back. But every time I look, someone is taking my sleigh again! You can see for yourself at https://www.noradsanta.org/overlay/tracking/map/index.html
What is worse though, the sleigh seems to be scooping up presents instead of delivering them! Sherlock Elf thinks someone has hacked the system so it looks like the sleigh is delivering presents. But it is doing just the opposite.
There may be problems with my sleigh, but don’t worry. I am safe and sound at the North Pole. You can track me here on my Santa Snooper.
Sherlock Elf found the photo above on our North Pole Security Cameras. It certainly looks like someone hacked the computer that controls my sleigh’s gift delivery system. I think that is why my sleigh is scooping up presents. What do you make of it?
I’ll keep posting updates on my blog.
Stay Tuned!
NORAD Tracking Mystery Update #5 – SOLVED!
UPDATED: Friday December 21st, 2018 12:00 p.m.
With your help and help from NORAD, Sherlock Elf solved the mystery! I think it was the photo that gave it away for him.
Sherlock Elf found the photo above on our North Pole Security Cameras. What do you think? Did the photo give it away who was causing the mystery?
I am happy to report that we have recovered MOST of the presents that were taken. However, I am so sorry if you don’t get everything you wanted for Christmas.
Lastly, we should all thank NORAD for their work. And not just for Christmas Eve. They are the people who help keep us safe every day and night of the year.
And remember you can track me here on my Santa Snooper (every day of the year!) or at the NORAD or Google sites as well on Christmas Eve.
Merry Christmas,
Santa Claus

Well, at least it isn’t going to happen this year!!
I think that the reindeers are having a ride on the sleigh
maybe the elvs took it for a spin….
Maybe it was stolen from some one whos obsessed with you
i fink when your elves get all presents to a sleight someone push a button and its start to fly so fast and elfs dont tell you
I think that either the Grinch or Jack Frost took the sleigh and the reindeer.
i want christmas gifts
i promise that i will be good.
and i will never tell anybody about this
I want a new ring and my boyfriend dan Phillips wants after shave merry Christmas to elves and Mrs. Claus and Santa.
Questin: Where is your sleigh and I loved the rendieer so much!! 🙂
It was Mr Grinch He stole Your sleigh

Hi santa I think maybe clumsy did something and hid it somewhere.

The Grinch stole your sleigh and your reindeer that includes Rudolph too!!!!
The Grinch probably broke Rudolph’s nose too!!!!

OMG, it’s the grinch! I just saw it now and it was pretty obvious! I mean, the green hand!
I think jack frost took it, or did you already examine him?
I know it is the grinch because those are his ugly hands and arm
it is the grinch we all know he hates xmas or your grumpy elf
Santa
I hate to say it,but those hands belong to The Grinch.
And I thought he was good now.
the grinch has stolen your sleigh welp.. this is gonna sound messed up but yay i love the grinch go grinch!
Well I don’t know .. but is it true that that has hapened? When i emailed you you said you said hi to the reindeers for me and they stopped playing their games or here my letter from ME. So I don’t know if this is true or not.
I am so sorry that the Grinch stole your slay and reindeer well I hope you got it back. And I will keep watching your blog I really like it and I am in elf training right now. So have a merry Christmas this year!
puppy pet. Christmas
Christmas Christmas
i love you and everyone at the northpole you gorgeous p.s love you
Maybe it was the grinch you know the grinch steals everything
hi santa this is ali klemann i was so happy you saw me at the hospital because i am a special little girl i hope you have a good time off.
Hello santa how are you I promes you I will donde my best this year in my behavier to get a lot of gifts.
It was THE GRINCH. Look, I’m not just jumping to #conclusions but did you SEE that furry, green thing used as a HAND. If you saw the Grinch movie made YEARS AGO, you would remember that his hand was furry, dark green (here it was light green but just excuse that) AND curled into that EXACT shape as you see in Santa’s picture. Wait, how DID Santa exactly GET that photo of the ”Grinch” hacking into the sleigh that was supposedly ”sucking” up presents. Well, here’s my theory, SO Santa put a light green, furry, messy glove onto his hand and got INTO his sleigh and took a photo of the gloved hand pressing the ”GIFT DELIVERY INPUT” button and ,how do I put this, ”turning off” the ”GIFT DELIVERY OUTPUT” button. Anyways, that’s my theory. What do you guys think? Comment your theory below! *whispers pz* *gets hypnotized* AND ALWAYS REMEMBER PROJECT ZORGO IS WATCHING
dear Madyline
YEAH. I think we should chat. But come on, if anyone else wants to do it answer!
Hey Santa, I have a name for your reindeer. Twinkle
Presents were stolen by the Grinch I know because of the green hand
Hi I want a free video chat with you
We are going to try and help you find your sleigh and your reindeers
I do’t know what about you guys can we chat? Seriosly, can we
Hi santa i seen you drank a carton of milk wehile at my houze
Am I pregnant so someone better fix it right now I’m waiting for a laptop
hello Santa save the present before they get stole by the Grinch
Maybe the reindeer got excited and flew away.
THE GRINCH STOLE YOUR THINGYMAJIG…SLEIGH AND THINGYMAJIGYDOOWAPBADOOWAP…REINDEER
P.S HOW DO YOU TURN OFF CAPS LOCK
-ELLIE

G rinch is always very bad
” Ra” he says
If that happens, you’ll be very mad!
No no no, he never pays!
Carry the Grinchyclaus away!
How obvious ut is to see him!
Santa how did you not know and hey Sunset my Bff I’ve worked so hard on a poem, can’t you at least see him? You should definitly realise that!
Howdy! Santa, I’m positive that it was the Grinch! Has gone back to being the villain again? G’day!
Hi santa u was wondering if i can have some more Hot wheels cars because i love them so much and i will be waiting for you and i would really love a new volleyball because mine is flat
Santa I think you should tell your Reindeer to do a speciel noise when they’re lost and make it clear where they are, maybe there was a Tornado or something to? I’ll suggest the most I can!
Belle
Dear santa I think you guys had a snow storm and it might have blew away
Santa Santa it’s the grinch! I know that green hand anywhere. I think he is trying to take your holiday again!
it’s the grinch.
Santa how did you not think it was the grinch we did the grinch as our Christmas play. Santa you should go tell Sherlock Elf to talk to the grinch
