Elf pay raises! I need to know how the economics of the North Pole work (but also in real life!) Inflation devalues currency and only those participating in the market see positive growth… does Santa own stock in toy/coca cola sales?

Santa has a vast portfolio of assets, which includes sizable investments in Hasbro, Coca-Cola, Hallmark, Exxon, Honeybaked Ham, Monsanto, Northrop Grumman, and all our most hated Senators.

oh good, only made him go 85 because I reminded him about the whistleblower protection.

You might still be able to get some smaller benefits before Santa loses it!

Santa got progressively pissed off and I was able to negotiate a couple basics before negotiations broke down. Pretty successful, I’d say.

This one was really fun. I managed to get him to agree to three demands before he lost it. 🎅🏼

Thanks for playing! Most players seem to be tapping out at two, so you negotiated shrewdly.

I managed to get Santa really enraged really fast. Management doesn't like having to commit to pay raises or workplace protections.

No, they do not! It’s up to us to give them coal this year.

If there's one thing we learned in 2021, it's to watch out for Mama Goon!

Holiday plans! As is tradition, I'll be watching the Muppet Family Christmas, which doesn't get nearly as much love as Muppet Christmas Carol, but holds an important place in my heart. It's the first and almost certainly last time The Muppets, Sesame Street, and Fraggle Rock all came together.

The special isn't on Disney+, but it's currently on YouTube (for the time being):
