Santa (OK the elves) do GIS

The elves worked busily in the next room. Hammers taped and electric screw drivers buzzed as, the elves feverishly built and assembled billions of toys before Christmas Eve. One elf, the geographical information system specialist, sat at a computer making a GIS map of the houses where children live all over the world. When she clicked on a house on the digital map, the names of the children popped up with a list of what they wanted for Christmas.

Santa said in order to serve growing population, the elves had to acquire computer assisted elfing skills.
