Welcome to Santa Cast, a production of I Heart Radio.
Come in, Hi, snowboy Santa. What can I do for
my favorite elf? Well, Santa, I just wanted to let
you know on our podcast has really taken off and
the belief a meter is way up. Really. Yeah, there's

(00:22):
kids waiting to hear from you because of the podcast.

well what are we waiting for? Let's go. Well, hello there,
welcome back to the Official Santa Cast. You know, Santa

attempt to spread Christmas cheer, because without Christmas cheer, his
slade just won't get off the ground. Let's fly back
to the North Pole for an update on Santa, his
Elves and their new fangled jingle jangle technology at the
North Pole. Hey, I didn't think you were coming back.

(01:07):
thing right Yeah, but let's do dive right in. There's
so much left to do before Christmas, and we can't
Delhi Dali. Yeah, indeed, Santa. I thought we would start
today with a question. I want to know, were you
around at the very first Christmas? M good question. Um, No,
I've been around a long time, but I haven't been
around that long. But some of the traditions from that

(01:29):
first Christmas endoor, the match I gave gifts, we still
do that. Yes, some families still put a star on
top of their Christmas tree to symbolize the star that
the magi followed. That's right, And I would like to
think that the feeling of hope and magic from that
first Christmas, well, that it can still be felt today.
Only one way to find out. Let's make some calls.

(01:50):
It's episode four for calling birds Hell. Hello, this is
Evergreen the Elf calling from the North Pole. I was
hoping to speak with Freddie Rose. Hi, I'm Snowball the
elp here to talk to Anderson and Amilia. Hello, I'm
looking for Stephen and Mary. I have Santa Claus standing

(02:10):
by here. Would that be okay? Okay? I am putting
Santa Claus on the line. Hello. Thank you so much
for spending some time with me on the phone today.
I'm so glad to get to talk with you. Happy
Christmas to you little friends THEO Are you with me? Good? Listen,

(02:31):
it's not just me here. This is Santa, but I
also have my friends here as well. Two of my elves.
I'm ever Green, the Old Hi, and I'm Snowball. Greetings
from the North Pole. Hi, guys, it's very cold up
here now. We're working very hard here in our elf
workshop to build toys to deliver this Christmas. We wanted
to ask you some questions. So tell me what you're

(02:54):
excited about this Christmas? About you coming to our house
to give us presents at night? Oh? Me too? What
else would be my first? My first Christmas with my
baby sister Aria? Absolutely if I actually starting about everything,
Jesus's birthday and family and friends, you and Christmas? Please?

(03:18):
Got a new Christmas tree? Oh? Very nice? What does
it look like? Pointing our first real train? How does
it smell? Can you tell me about some of the
traditions that you and your family have? How did your
family celebrate the holidays? Well by baking gingerbread? Houses, bake

(03:39):
cookies and leave up the lane dare. Oh that's the
love that What kind of cookies are you leaving I'm
gonna have one right now, if you don't mind, I'm

(04:01):
gonna just have a little to wash that down. Every
day on Fantom, those people with houses cookies waving out
for not everybody, elboys, quickness, that's true. What what do
some people celebrate besides Christmas? Nica? That's right. So there's

(04:27):
a lot of different traditions out there for the holidays. Huh, Jonah.
I also know that you celebrate one of my favorite
holidays as well, Hanukkah? Is that right? Yes? We also
made a Minora Oh those are so beautiful. I love Minora's.
Let's let me ask you a couple of questions. Tell

(04:48):
me Roman, how do you think I get down your
chimney land on the roof? I do I do? How
do I get my jolly old belly down that chimney? Though?
Not it's Chris go, that's the secret. It's true. I
use banks and a whole lot of butter. Some of
it's Christmas magic, some of it's just the things that

(05:10):
you can find in your kitchen. And I have a
quick question here though. I know they're really excited for
you to be there, and they're gonna set out cookies.
They don't have a chimney, and I'm sort of curious
how they think you are going to get into, deliver
presents and eat those cookies. That's a good question. How
do you think I'm going to get inside? Is past? You? Can? You?

(05:40):
You get in now? Listen, nobody's supposed to know about that. Okay,
I watch the watch, but listen. If you tell anybody
about that, they're gonna know my secret. If you could
have one Christmas wish, maybe for the whole world, what

(06:03):
would it be. I think it would be that everybody
can get their presence um at Christmas night the water,
make more treats, to spend time a friend and family,
to share kindness to all the people are All I

(06:23):
want for Christmas is for my friends to have the
best Christmas that they can have in their lives. For
Christmas morning, Christmas Day, every day, the lines for Christmas.
That's all I can wish from my friends. You have
such a sweetheart. That's what keeps you on the nice
list year after year. Listen, we have to go, but
I have had such a great time talking with you.

(06:45):
You have a merry Christmas. Okay, you can you know
all I want for Christmas is you. Oh, I love you,
little friends. Have a merry Christmas. Bye bye. That's the stuff.
Were great, santacast thing it's working. I really think it's

(07:09):
taking off like blitz In on Christmas Eve. Oh that
was a good one, Snowball. No. Yes, I'm feeling very good,
feeling much more gonefidentent. I feel a warm and fuzzy
how about you? You know, on our last episode we
asked you to do your part by spreading kindness to
people you know. Something must be working because not only
is the belief of meter going up, but the podcast

reindeer will take flight as well. Keep spreading that holiday chere.
