The Aurora Wells
When I arrived at the monitoring station at Aurora Ridge, the Northern Lights shimmered in the night sky, but faintly. The greens had paled, the violets had thinned, the yellows had whitened. âSanta⊠somethingâs wrong,â Fixens, head of maintenance said, adjusting his goggles. âI donât like it,â Bernard added. âThe patternâs breaking.â Quinten didnât even …

An Unusual Breakfast
âGood morning, Santa,â my wife said as I entered the kitchen. âYouâre up early today.â âDid you forget what day it is?â I asked grabbing a cup of hot cocoa. Anya gave me a quizzical look as she placed her hands on her hips. âRemind me.â âIce Cream for Breakfast Day! The elves invited us …
Catching Up
After finishing the last piece of my pumpkin pancakes, I leaned back in my chair. âAnya,â I said, ânow that the elves have celebrated the end of the Christmas Season with their Saint Knutâs Day celebrations, I think we should take a walk and find Nippy and Polar Pete.
