🎄 Day 34 — Workshop Fire Drill Fiasco

Today’s “safety drill” turned into a full-blown emergency. 🔥🧯

The alarm went off at 10 a.m., and by 10:02, half the elves were running in circles with marshmallows on sticks. We don’t take anything seriously here, especially not flames.

🚨 False Alarm, Real Drama

The fire wasn’t real, but the chaos was. Jingles tripped over a tinsel cart, Sparkles tried to “rescue” her cocoa mug, and Pep refused to leave until he saved the glitter stash. Heroic? Maybe. Smart? Absolutely not.

🔥 “Controlled Burn” Confusion

Turns out, Maintenance was testing the new furnace. Someone misheard “testing the heat flow” as “explosion imminent.” Cue full panic and one elf trying to call the Snow Patrol.

🎅 Santa’s Debrief

Santa called a meeting to “review evacuation procedures.” Nobody listened because Mrs. Claus brought cookies. By the end, Santa was stress-eating ginger snaps and muttering, “Every year… every year.”

In summary: no one burned, nothing exploded, and morale is—somehow—higher than ever. We love a near-death bonding moment. 🔥❤️
