North Pole Weather: One, Two, Bye-bye Boom!

North Pole Weather doesn't stop elves from making presents!
North Pole Weather doesn’t stop elves from making presents!

One day all the elves were busy making Christmas presents in the North Pole workshop. All of a sudden there was a bright flash of light and BOOM! Everything shook and even the Christmas lights went out for a second. Mouse the littlest Elf came running to me. “Santa Claus” she said, “I’m scared!”

“Its ok Mouse” I said. “Its only a thunderstorm”. There was another flash of light and then BOOM! Mouse quickly grabbed hold of my hand.

“Mouse, would you like to help me make the thunderstorm go away?” “Yes, I would” she said, still scared.

“OK, the next time we see a flash of light we’ll start counting until we hear the thunder go BOOM!”

There was a flash of lightning right away so we started to count: “One… Two… Three…” BOOM!

“Now”, I told Mouse, “lets count again the next time we see lightning”.

We waited and then, FLASH! “One… Two… Three… Four… Five… Six…” BOOM!

“Santa” Mouse said, “We did it! The thunder is going away! We counted all the way to six that time!”

So Mouse and I counted every time we saw a flash of lightning until the thunderstorm went away.

Now whenever there is a thunderstorm, Mouse the littlest Elf is still a bit afraid but she always helps me make the thunderstorm go away by playing “One, Two, Bye-bye Boom!”

She says that she hopes you play that game too anytime a thunderstorm makes you scared. 😊

Merry Christmas!

Santa Claus

P.S. Are you a little afraid of thunder like Mouse the littlest Elf was? What do you do when there is a thunderstorm? (You can tell me by leaving me a note. Or, scroll down to see what others have written!)

    Do you have an elf called Molly?

  3. I’m scared of thunder a little, but I’m also scared of rain. Why am I scared of rain? Because I sprained my wrist trying to jump over a big puddle.

  4. I used to be afraid of thunder. Last year, I ran out of my room screaming.But then my dad told me a funny story. I am learning Greek mythology in school, so my dad told me that thunder means the gods are bowling. I laughed and laughed, and even though I don’t believe that story, I’m not so scared anymore.

  5. I hope that mouse figure out about thunder storms some times i get scared when i am in the dark.I love what happens in the north pole.

  6. I am abit scared of thunder, for example if it struck our house and it fell down. IMAGINE!!!…

    But now just sit in my living room and watch T.V.

  31. Dear Santa,
    Well I kind of get a little scared of thunderstorms. But, whaat helps me is that the thunder is a bowling ball and the lightning means it is a strike or a spare! So sometimes I might think,”I guess it is bowling night for the Angles!” So… it is OK to be scared, so it is no need to worry!

  32. Hello I have never talked to you.
    I am sometimes scared but not always.
    Love Rohan.

  35. When there is a thunderstorm, I go in my room, I put my head in my pillow, I put the blankets over me, and I say “Go away thunder” as many times until it goes away!

  36. I liked reading your BLOG about your story and house Mouse after that thunder storm that night? hope shes ok now thank you

  37. i am not scared of lighting but my dog and cat are my tropical fish dont even know whats happening lol let it snow let it snow

  38. Dear Mouse and Santa,

    You mouse don’t need to be afraid of the
    Thunderstorm. sometimes I get afraid because the news say to stay away from the window when I go to bed I sleep by the window and I also get scared of tornado’s.

  39. When there is a thunderstorm i dont really get scared only if it is close. It is really loud. I normally build a small den and hide in it because i get scared or if i am in bed i go under my cover. Sometimes i cry because i dont like the noise because i think i am going to die or something. Even though i am 12 years old it is still frightening to me. Love you lots SANTA !

  40. im not realy scared of thunder storms because i live in arizona so we need rain for the ground. sometimes i go out and play in the rain. its allot of fun maybe the raindeer can play sometime.

  41. If i’m scared of the thunder or lightning i just go and hug my mum or if it happenes while i’m in bed i hide under my quilt untill i go to sleep or untill it stops.

  42. I love Christmas especially spending time with family eating giant turkeys!!!
    opening presents lots of christmas trees and lights.I love that feeling so so so much

    How are you Santa???

  56. I know this is a really common phobia. I used to be petrified about thunder storms! But now I’m not scared at all! I love to stand in my garden and watch the lightning and listen to the thunder.

  57. Poor mouse.I am scared of thunderstorms too.it’s hard to get over it but my mommy helps me.I have to get over it though it’s not gonna be to easy

  60. You know Santa I can see where that little elf is coming from, because if your small like me big things can scare you I mean im 13 and I’m still a little scared of thunder and lighning

  61. Santa i think that the thing i want the most is a toy Star Wars slave 1 ultimate battle pack. tell the elves Rhett says “you work so hard! i appreciate you!”

  62. When there is a thunderstorm I hide under my bed or I go in the basement & chew on my fingernails!! That’s gross, I know, but that’s the only thing to do when there is a thunderstorm. I shouldn’t chew on my nails. I will try your suggestion next time!! Thank you Santa!!

  63. I am not scared of thunder storms, but I like watching them light up the room. I can also sleep right through them. My friend says, “No I am not 1 bit scared of thunder storms. Although sometimes when I hear thunder and lighting it startles me a little.”

  64. If I was Mouse , I would have been scared too.I don’t like thunderstorms one bit! But now they’re not so scary. Isn’t Mouse you’re baby? Even if she isn’t , say hi for me. Thanks!!!

  65. Hi Santa,
    I can’t believe there is only 28 more days till Christmas! Christmas is my favorite holiday and it is so special because of you!! Tell all the elves, the reindeer, and Mrs.Claus hi for me….. and tell them how great of a job they are doing….same with you!! Thank you so much!

  66. I love thinderstorms at night because it makes me fall asleep quickly, but I hate them when it is during the day because I would rather be outside. When it gets really bad that is when it gets scary..

  67. Dear Santa,
    I am really excited that Christmas is almost coming. But what I wanted to tell is I really want to see how it feels like to ride on Santa’s sleigh.I love Christmas.

  69. Hi Santa, I’m scared of storms only when there really big and trees look like there anout to fall down. When it’s only rain and little thunder i like it, it makes me really sleepy. Did you know that when you and Mouse counted to six that means the middle of the storm was six miles away, my dad told me that, are you scared of storms? Have you been in a bad storm on Christmas while you where giving out presents what wass that like?

  70. On Friday the 26th of October I did a play and I was in the wife swap part and I was narrator two Cheryl cole and I was really scared but I didn’t minde then I did it and it was all over by the end of the day and I said to my self least thats over

  72. yes i am a little afraid of lighting because when i was on my bus to school i didn’t see lightning but i did see a house that had been strucked by lightning and it wasn’t pretty. When there is lightning i always try to be the smallest. because lightning hits the tallest point.

  73. I every one! When there is a tunderstorm
    I go to my bed and sit there and whach t.v and hug my pellow and if the light goes out I get a flash light and put it on the table and make shadow pupits! I also still hug my pellow! Hope you like my ideas! Hope the mouse and the little elfs like my idea!

    Bye Bye BOOM!

  74. Hi! I’m scared of them too! What I do is I get my fav stuffedie then get a movie I love watching and then I don’t feel so scared.
    I love Christmas!!!!

  75. the story reminds me of my dog when we have thunder storms and we if it didn’t stop by the time we go to bed she gets in bed with me and my mom and she has a thick fur coat so she keeps us warm all night.

  76. Hello, Santa, Elf’s, and reindeer !

    I hope mouse gets over her fear of thunderstorms(i sometimes get scared as well, shhhhh):) the fact about thunderatorms is everytime the second hand gets to the twelve thats when either lightening strikes of the thunder clashes i cant remember out of which one it is 🙂 frommm charrlleeyyyy xxx
