13 dögum fyrir jól fara jólasveinarnir að tínast hver á fætur öðrum úr fjöllum og niður í byggðir. Þeir eiga það þó til að týna sér í gleðinni og hreinlega gleyma hvenær þeir eigi að mæta á jólasveinavaktina til að gefa börnunum í skóinn, Grýlu til mikils ama. Þar sem margir hverjir þeirra eiga snjallsíma lét Grýla búa til smáforrit sem sendir tilkynningar í símann alla daga með öllum helstu upplýsingum svo jólasveinarnir skili sér í vinnuna. Hér er smáforritið nú aðgengilegt öllum þeim sem hafa áhuga og vilja kynna sér störf jólasveinanna. Gleðilega hátið!
