00:00Wonderful, you're here! Welcome to Santa's Study. Now, I know that you've come here to

00:15ask Santa about, well, being Santa. I have so many stories about the reindeers, Christmas

00:22magic, or even living in the North Pole, which is a long way from you. So, if I seem a little

00:28slow with my answers, it might be a problem with my Wonderland Wi-Fi. So, please be patient.

00:36How is Mrs. Claus? Mrs. Claus is doing great! Just like everyone, she's very excited that

00:45Christmas is getting closer every day! The way Ask Santa appears on the screen, he is

00:52a person! He's the real Santa Claus, and it's so comforting, and so real, and he's

01:00just delightful. Santa Claus, how many reindeer do you have? Oh, I have so many I couldn't

01:12even count. But you know, I have the famous Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid,

01:18Donner, Blitzen, and of course, Rudolph. Just to see the joy on their faces when they

01:27ask crazy questions like, how many reindeer do you have, or what's Mrs. Claus doing, or

01:32when did you become Santa Claus? It's amazing, and the kids have loved it. And, action! I've

01:42got the world's most advanced sleigh. It's called a Ruthie 2000. Let's get technical!

01:49Oh my goodness, there's so many things I need to show you and share. This is really top

01:53secret, all right? Are you ready for it? Okay, well, the dash is so special. Oh my gosh,

01:59it has so many pieces of equipment in here that, well, I have the brightest elves in

02:03the North Pole, and they've come up with some genius ideas to keep Santa on time for his

02:08Christmas deliveries. It is so amazing, the technology behind Ask Santa. Storyfile interviewed

02:16Santa for hours and hours on end. There is no going out to the internet like ChatGBT

02:22or other AI platforms. The questions are all in the database. Santa can't hallucinate.

02:30He can't make up crazy questions from ChatGBT. It is a safe and secure platform for your

02:36kids to talk to Santa. Oh, what a lovely letter, the Christmas tree. Dear Santa, I

02:54hope you're doing well. I asked my mom why we wrap up presents at Christmas, and she

02:59said I should ask Santa, so I am. Also, can I have a toy truck for Christmas? Love, Jill.

03:09Breakthrough T1D is accelerating breakthroughs to cure type 1 diabetes every single day.

03:15We are seeing breakthroughs on so many fronts. If you make the $5 donation to Breakthrough

03:21T1D to have a conversation with Ask Santa, 100% of those proceeds will go to fund type

03:291 diabetes research. Breakthrough T1D helps me get advanced technology, so then we can

03:39actually run around, not have to stop when we're having a bunch of fun in the middle

03:47of the day, so then we can actually do what other people usually do. If a kid uses bad

03:56language when talking to Santa, Santa doesn't understand. You know, Santa is the spirit

04:00of Christmas. He doesn't go for bad language, so he's just going to say, ask me something

04:05else, kid. Santa Claus, am I on the naughty or nice list? Well, here's my naughty and nice scroll.

04:16Let's take a quick look and see where your name is. We'll start with the naughty list. I don't

04:28see you there. The nice list. Well, here you are. I'm so very proud of you for being on the nice list,

04:40and it's written in ancient Elvin. You wouldn't be able to read it, but I know what your name is,

04:48and I'm very proud of you to be on the nice list. Well, during my mom's time, there wasn't more

04:56advanced technology back then, but through Breakthrough T1D, there's more advanced technology

05:04like the glucometer or the pump, and it just makes my life a tad bit more normal.

05:09It's been wonderful speaking with you, and I'm heading back to my workshop. There's so much to

05:23do, so Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
