Santa's New Hires
Part 1
Part 1
Don’t let her size fool you—this new addition brings more horsepower to the workshop than all the reindeer combined, especially when she’s fighting with PC Law.
Who is Jade?
She’ll wish you a merry Christmas with the sweetest smile — but in a dark alley, she’d carve you up faster than a holiday turkey.
Who is Skye?
Much like elves fighting over toymaking space, our office battles daily for this room that’s always double booked.
What is the Board Room?
This plant, with red leaves, is native to Mexico and has become a popular Christmas decoration.
What is a Poinsettia?
While Santa only works one night a year, these cheesy, GIF-filled meetings never seem to end; should you be on the naughty list you may find yourself waking up early to attend.
What is BNI?
With the posture of someone who rides horses and the attitude of someone who’s had her Starbucks, this new addition is not to be crossed until after 3 p.m.
Who is Kristle?
This world-travelling team member will be celebrating the holidays abroad - should you need anything over the break don't be surprised if you get an "out of office" message in Hungarian.
Who is James?
It’s the most wonderful time of the year… unless you’re using this legal software, where “did you try restarting it?” becomes a legitimate part of the holiday workflow.
What is PC Law?
Just as Rockefeller Center is famous for its Christmas tree, Calgary is famous for this dazzling light display featuring over 2 million lights.
What is ZOOLIGHTS?
As the year draws to a close, ROLO may have changed a lot — but this former leader still outranks the boss.
Who is Her Ladyship?
As champagne corks pop and confetti settles, this new hire is still on the calendar for January, giving the office time to recover first.
Who is Jesse?
Everyone knows about Santa's reindeer at the North Pole, but what about birds. Do you even care? Doesn't matter to this bird nerd with a mic.
Who is Isaac?
This year, the office is asking Santa for not one, not two, but three of these magical machines—because apparently they only work when they’re brand new and it’s a Christmas miracle.
What are Printers?
These two of Santa’s reindeer are named after weather phenomena—one meaning thunder and the other lightning.
Who are Donner and Blitzen?
While others dream of sugarplums, MAH dreams of vintages from this French region,
Where is Bordeaux?
Quiet as falling snow, this new hire writes like a Christmas angel—just don’t get between her and an Ice Capp if you value your holiday spirit.
Who is Kayla?
Just as Sherlock Holmes was rarely seen without his pipe, this new addition is rarely spotted without a mug of tea — and a hidden supply of chocolate.
Who is Sarah?
Tis the season — not the holiday one, the other one — for bundling up in the office or taking turns with the heater on so you don’t trip the breaker while enduring this charming aspect of our heritage building.
What is the office temperature?
Though its exact origin is unknown, this iconic Canadian treat features flaky pastry filled with a semi-solid sugary filling, baked until the top is crunchy.
What are Butter Tarts?
Much like asking Santa for one gift and getting the whole workshop, you ask Murray one "quick" question and he begins diagramming—this is what the office calls that phenomenon.
What is “The TED Talk Ambush”.
Just as the holiday season comes and goes, with snow that melts only to return, this person’s seasonal appearance was brief but memorable, juggling odd jobs, last-minute errands, and the occasional automotive sparkle for Murray.
Who is Brady?
Like waiting to see the groundhog’s shadow, this new hire never arrived — oops, wrong holiday!

Clients may dream big at Christmas, but when these callers reach Skye, their wish list involves suing everyone and stopping government conspiracies.
