Story Of Tinsel
Decorating our Christmas Village was in full swing when Ms. Claus and I arrived that morning. Lights were being strung on all the buildings and the trees. Stars and snowflakes were hung on light posts. Gold and silver tinsel was placed on the surrounding trees. “Beautiful job!” I told the elves as Anya and I …
Sleigh Day
“Here come Santa and Ms. Claus,” announced Lyra. Several elves left their tables in the dining hall and gathered at the two doorways. “What time do things get started?” Skippy asked. “Sledge will open the storage barn when Santa arrives,” Geordie responded and finished his muffin. Anya and I could hear the cheering begin as …
Harmony
I decided to surprise Ms. Claus with a visit to the Mail Room after lunch. When I entered, I found the elves huddled around my wife. “Is there a problem?” I asked. Carter, the head elf of the mail room, spoke up, “We have been discussing all the letters from children asking that their parents …
Heads Up
“Eating a chocolate chip cookie is the perfect way to begin the afternoon,” I mused and shook the crumbs from my beard as I headed towards my office door. Suddenly Patches pushed it open. Her eyes brightened when she saw me. “Glad I found you, Santa. Gotta come quick,” she panted. “Bernard needs you right …
Polar Pete’s Tail
The freshly fallen snow looked tempting, so Ms. Claus and I slipped on warm clothes and took a walk. In the distance we saw Polar Pete, one of our North Pole friends. “Hey Pete,” I yelled, as Anya and I waved. Turning, he stood on his hind legs and called out, “Santa, Ms. Claus, it’s …
Reindeer Secrets
When Ms. Claus came into my office, she found me with my head in my hands and my elbows on my desk. “Is something bothering you dear?” I slowly looked up while keeping my hands on my face. “Yes!” “Well how can I help?” “I’m not sure you can.” Leaning back in my chair, I …
Spotting Santa
The campground had settled down for the night as Ms. Claus and I roasted marshmallows over an open fire. “Santa, I love living at the North Pole, but the beauty of the trees, the different wildlife and the blue skies in this area are a feast for the eyes,” Anya began while putting together her …
International Games
“Fantastic! What an opening,” I yelled when the final whistle blew over the television. “Both were delightful games to watch, especially since the host countries, Australia and New Zealand, won!” Ms. Claus clapped her hands and danced around the room. “World Cup games are so exciting.” “This time the Women’s World Cup has been expanded …
Broccoli Cookies
Gaucho, one of my reindeer herders, had finished his lunch, when Hanna came by with a platter of cookies. “Would you like to try these?” “Of course. I couldn’t be a North Pole Elf if I didn’t like cookies,” he responded and took one from the platter. “These look a bit different. What’s the green …
Nosing Around
Ms. Claus and I were out for a stroll in the new fallen snow, when we heard a loud roar. “That sounded like a scared polar bear!” “What could possibly scare a Polar Bear?” asked Anya. As soon as Ms. Claus finished her question, Polar Pete came running around a big mound of snow. Stopping …
