An elderly caller seeks advice on his centuries-old gift delivery service.

Notes from Chris

Episode 1455
I received an unusual message on the Hustle Hotline the other day.

A visitor from Finland called in and had a question about his longstanding, seasonal side hustle. I wasn’t sure if he wanted to remain anonymous or not, so I thought I’d just present you with this lightly edited version.
"Hi Chris, my name is Kris as well and I'm calling from my warehouse in the northern part of Finland. For the past several hundred years I've been going around the world every December to deliver gifts to children ... but this year has presented some serious challenges. Unfortunately, kids just aren't excited about getting hand sanitizer for their stockings. And the adults aren't comfortable with having strange men in their homes, especially since I tend to spend time with a lot of different people.

Not only that, but logistics are tough, too. Many parts of the world have mandatory quarantine periods, which makes it difficult to get to every house in one evening. New Zealand won't even let me in at all! I think I need a new side hustle, or at least a better distribution plan. Chris, what should I do ... and how can we save Christmas??"
