The Characters

      • Lanny is a rookie on prep & landing. He recently completed his training and graduated at the top of his class at kringle academy, achieving record marks in holiday history and christmas cheer. During his education there, lanny was also the falsetto member of the caroling club, head of the yuletide yearbook committee, and chief statistician for the curling team. Lanny spent many years as a snow globe checker on the factory line, all the while dreaming of the day he would be accepted into kringle academy. Lanny's poster of his prep & landing hero wayne and routine visits to the hall of holiday heroes kept lanny motivated to achieve his goal. Lanny comes from a large family who provide constant encouragement, particularly his mother. She sends lanny weekly care packages of fruitcakes, candy canes, and vegetarian beef jerky.

      • Growing up, Noel was a highly popular and accomplished athlete, and many felt he would follow his older brother Wayne to Kringle academy and then prep & landing. Although noel always took great pride in his brother's heroics, he felt he could make a real difference in children's lives, and instead chose the coal elf brigade as his vocation. Noel has become one of the most esteemed members of the coal elf brigade, working hard for the last 209 Christmas eves delivering coal to children on the naughty list. With his great brawn and keen insight into the minds of children, noel is often regarded as the foremost naughty kid expert. In his long career, he has never lost sight of the coal elf brigade motto that "within every lump of coal is a diamond in the rough", and is proud of his job that helps rehabilitate children one lump of coal at a time.

      • Magee has been the north pole christmas eve command center coordinator for almost 200 years. Before her current post, she proved her managerial prowess as part of toy design, where she was credited with streamlining the development pipeline. She assumed her career would be in toys, but the big guy personally asked her to oversee prep & landing as npceccc, a role once held by Magee's own mother. Magee receives a fair amount of unsolicited advice from her mother, especially when it comes to work and romance. Her mother initially held out hope that wayne and Magee would marry, but the pair dated only briefly and instead became close friends.

      • Dancer is one of the legendary eight reindeer who pull santa's sleigh every christmas eve. Dancer is the lead reindeer along with his counterpart, dasher, whose bravado dancer admires. Dancer does his best to project a brave facade like dasher, but he tends to fold like a lawn chair under pressure.

      • Dasher is one of the legendary eight reindeer who pull santa's sleigh every christmas eve. Dasher is unflappable in his self-confidence, priding himself on his piloting skills and the extremely large amount of fur on his chest.

      • Rumored by many to be only an urban myth, the highly secretive thrasher the reindeer is purportedly the second cousin of dasher the reindeer. Thrasher is responsible for transporting prep & landing elves to their mission sites. He prides himself on his unparalleled stealth and speed, supposedly shaving his antlers smooth for better aerodynamics and painting their underside jet black to go undetected by radar.

      • From a young age, Mr. Thistleton's genius was evident to all, especially his beloved mother. He was the youngest student in the history of the mistletoe institute of technology, graduating with high honors and leading the math-lete team to consecutive championships.

  • Angel Air Gun from "Prep & Landing"
    Angel Air Gun

    At first glance, the angel air gun appears to be a small tree topper angel. In reality, the angel is a compressed air canister, used to fluff stockings and ensure they are hung with care. The angel's halo is the button to release the compressed air, which shoots out from the trumpet. The angel air gun can also be used as a shredder. Items can be dropped into the base of the angel, and the shredded remnants will shoot out from the trumpet end.

    Candy Cane Grappling Hook

    The hard casing of the grappling hook is shaped and painted like a candy cane. Once the hidden stud on the side of the cane is depressed and held, the hook end splits open into a three-pronged grappling hook. Sliding the activation stud downward fires the hook and the attached zip line outward at rapid speed. The line continues to fire up to 30 feet, as long as the activation button is held down. The line can be quickly retracted by depressing the stud a second time. This feature allows the elf to zip easily up a chimney and instantly return the candy cane hook to his utility belt.

    Fruitcake Conduct Calendar

    The fruitcake conduct calculator (fcc for short) is the most important device a member of the coal elf brigade uses each holiday season. The fcc is a handheld processor that utilizes a north pole patented algorithm to analyze deeds, habits, and activities to gauge the level of naughty behavior in a child. The tabulated information is relayed via the fcc's antenna to the database tree farm, where a final assessment is determined for placement on the nice or naughty list. For those children deemed naughty, the fcc is able to print a ribbon with a message of encouragement for future improved behavior. This ribbon is tied around the lump of coal before placement in the stocking.

  • Gingerbread Man from "Prep & Landing"
    Gingerbread Man

    The Gingerbread Man (or gbm) is perhaps the most important device in the current prep & landing arsenal. Seemingly a simple gingerbread man decoration, the gbm is actually a high tech multi-functional device. At the touch of a secret button, the tummy of the gbm slides open to reveal a small touchscreen lit by several round icons offering a number of functions. At the same time, the eyes and mouth of the gbm glow a soft green to ensure its user of a full power charge. The gbm's programming currently allows the following functions: 1. A scanner to determine if any creatures are stirring. 2. Access to the north pole naughty and nice list database listing a profile and recent behavior of children in the assigned home. 3. A cookie assessment scanner to determine the type and ingredients of cookies left out for santa claus. (santa does not care for nuts). 4. A holographic projector that projects a scale representation of a gift under the christmas tree to determine if there is enough clearance under the branches. If not, branches can be trimmed with the snowflake buzzsaw. 5. A sync function that allows a gbm to be remotely controlled by a partner's gbm. 6. A flashlight with strobe and multi-color capability 7. A music player that now also plays videos.

  • Snowman Landing Lights from "Prep & Landing"
    Snowman Landing Lights

    The unassuming snowman is actually an extremely important p & l device, integral to a successful sleigh landing. Upon depression of its top hat, the snowman springs forward, breaking into three sections tethered by taut tubing. Each section is weighted so once it lands in place on a rooftop, it is nearly immovable until deactivated. The hat brim on the hat section slides up and opens into a radar dish to signal santa's sleigh. Once the dish powers on, the snowman sections and transparent tubing strobe with landing light patterns, creating a landing strip for the sleigh. Additionally, the inside hands of the two elves' snowmen shoot forward, connecting magnetically together to form a tow cable line across the landing strip to catch the tailhook on the bottom of santa's sleigh. The cable is deceptively strong with a tensile strength capable of supporting the weight of a fully loaded semi trailer.

Sparkle ornaments are loaded into the magazine, and if needed, the blaster can fire repeatedly. The one drawback to the sparkle blaster is its kickback, which can be stronger than a reindeer hoof. Thus, the sparkle blaster is usually carried by only the strongest of elves.

    In cases of greatest emergency, a p & l elf can use his sparkle. In its concentrated form, sparkle can send any creature into a deep sleep, which usually lasts an hour, depending on the weight of the victim. The sparkle is contained within what appears to be a christmas globe ornament, complete with hook. When the hook is twisted and removed, however, the sparkle within is activated. It is imperative for the elf to throw the sparkle bomb within three seconds of activating it, as the sparkle begins to immediately dissolve the exterior of the ornament. A properly timed throw will strike its target at the exact moment the shell completely dissolves, allowing the sparkle to hit with maximum effect.
