Santa’s Christmas Updates<\/strong> is a one minute update to air from December 1st to the 25th. Each are around a minute long, and Santa updates your listeners on progress at the North Pole, answering questions like how he visits so many houses on one night, what the popular presents are this year, what snacks to leave for him and the reindeer.<\/p>\n

This one minute Santa update will air on both 97.9 XFM and 102.3 KJ Country each day around 4:45 p.m. The update will run at 7:45 a.m. on Christmas Day. <\/strong><\/p>\n
