Today was Scunner’s first day in his new job. He turned up at the stables at five in the morning wearing a pair of big work overalls.
The overalls were quite the sight. They had big candy cane straps and flying reindeer on them.
I could tell Scunner was excited to start his new job.
The reindeer all moved over to greet him and he patted them one by one on the nose.
They seemed to like Scunner and that was good. Even though they are my reindeer, they can still be nervous of new people at times. Anyway, I stayed for twenty minutes and saw that he was doing well. That is when I decided to get back to work.
I was only halfway to the workshop when I heard a loud shriek. Quickly, I turned around, worried by the sound. I ran as fast as I could back to the stables.
‘Santa, get me doon!’ Scunner wailed. I tried not to laugh. He was dangling from Blitzen’s left antler.
Blitzen was moving his whole body, slowly walking in a circle. It looked like Blitzen was trying to nibble Scunner’s behind! I did not know what was happening but they were going around and around.
Reindeer Love Carrots!
‘He’s trying to get the carrots that are in my back pocket!’ Scunner moaned. I smiled and tried not to chuckle. I understood what had happened.
You see, Scunner is a kind little elf. He thought it would be nice if he brought some carrots as a treat for the reindeer.
Scunner was changing their straw when Blitzen saw the carrots. Blitzen LOVES carrots. He tried to sneak one out of Scunner’s pocket but his antler snagged Scunner’s candy cane strap. The harder Blitzen tried to get those yummy carrots in Scunner’s back pocket, the more Scunner was bounced around.
Scunner was fine when we got him down. Instead of being Scunner the Grumpy Elf, he was now Scunner the VERY Grumpy Elf. I am not surprised that he does not want to work in the reindeer pen anymore.
Ah well, back to the drawing board!
Merry Christmas!
Santa Claus

Hi Santa all of those reindeer sound like trouble when it comes to food tell all the reindeer that I love them.
Your friend Natalie
Well,Scunner can be grumpy and if I saw him dangling from Blitzens angle,then I would have laughed(no offence to Scunner)
hmm,Santa I think he should work to help Mrs.Clause clean and cook!That would be fun!

scunner should do something he likes and maybe that will cheer him up and if he gets happy try some christmas things if he gets sad again do things he likes and stick with that huggs and kisses from gracie ayscue
scunner should not bring carrots with him in the stables
I HOPE you have a great Christmas and your blog is cool well done
Will someone please explain that grandchildren can spend Christmas Eve with their grandparents, and Santa will know where they are, and deliver their presents even I’d they are at their grandparents house?

Scunner, do a better job on your fist day. Feed the reindeer more carrots.
maybe Scunner can plow the side walks or make you cookies or he could orgenize kids fiels for bieng noughty or nice (and if he does hopefuly he would see me in the nice list) I have many more ideas if you need them so i will post them towmorrow.
This is a reply to Bull,but you wouldn’t want them listening to bad music would you.?
Hey Santa i emailed you a few minutes ago i would hope you could email me back that would be nice and send some pictures of the North Pole It would be cool to see what it’s like
Scunner I think that was quite funny for Blitzen to do that. 🙂
maybe you should tell scuner that being grumpy wont solve his job problem, and he should give the reindeer another chance
Santa i love you!
Dear Santa i was just talking to you. I forgot to say you are the best

Dear Santa,

Could I please get a cleaning set, motor bike, new gymnastics ds game and some clothes for christmas?
How have the reindeer been ?

Love From Jaicinta Possum xoxox
I have a great idea for a job for Scunner if he likes music. Why don’t you guys add speaker i every work station and then have him be in charge of the music. The other elves can even request him to put whatever song/music they want and he could put that on to with dedicasion from one elf to another maybe. Hope he finds something he likes.
scunner you had a quite big accident dont sneak carrots anymore when your by the reindeer! anyway work on that i pod touch4 for me and be on the nice list for my christmas to, now, hey, i seen santa before you dont wanna see him get mad! anyway see ya next year
Tell Scunner to talk to Shelfie, Elfie, Lily, Jingle and Twizzler. They always have good ideas!
Scunner, remember, it’s only the first day, after a while you’ll get the hang of it. xoxo, just keep your head high and don’t let anyone let you down. Keep up the good work 🙂
Dear santa,I have not been perfect because I have a brother and we fight sometimes but other than that I have been pretty darn good
I’m sorry Scunner! I thought working in the reindeer barn would be thhe PERFECT job for you! How about you try working in the mailroom, because then you can get letters from children all over the world!
Scunner its okay that happens every day on the new job try harder and it will not happen tomorrow!
hey scunner im really sorry of what happend.
but hey! it was only your first day you could keep tryin. and you know what helps me when im angery is to talk about it with a friend or even just to a have a nap! well good luck
love charlotte
Scunner, Scunner, Scunner, You always seem so grumpy. You should talk to Santa and see what you would like best for a job and what Santa thinks best too.
dear santa,
i think you should give scunner some tips about christmas and such.
sincerely,
gabriella
Dear Scunner you must be a very nice elf but try not to be so grumpy because the christmas spiret is all about being happy and I’m sure you love christmas aswell so try not to be so grumpy I’m sur their is a lot more jobs you could do and I’m also sure that there is one waiting just for you. Hugs and Kisses Csepke!
Scunner ,you should be at the naughti and nice detective agency. That would be a good job for you.

Never give up try one more time reindeer are brillat
Hi scunner ! X
I fEel really sorry for you but try not to be angry for so long!
I don’t think the reindeer did it on purpose so next time make some time to figure out where to hide the carrots so when reindeers are truly good you can give them then.
I hope you carry on working in the pen and I’m sure it was just a 1 off xx
Good luck xxx
Aw poor Scunner, haha! I hope he finds a job that helps him be not quite so grumpy.
