Operations at the North Pole have changed a LOT since those old TV specials from the 1960sÉ
You think youÕve got problems? Imagine trying to produce millions of presents in a fragile arctic environment and getting them all to the right people across the planet in a single night. To keep it secret, you canÕt have normal employees. Instead, the work is done by a diverse crew of multicultural elves and animalsÑspecifically seals, penguins, polar bears, and reindeer. ItÕs Christmas Town, so of course everyone LOVES each otherÉthey just donÕt always LIKE each other.
In this series of annual letters from Santa Claus to a young boy in North Carolina between 2001 and 2015, Santa reveals all the things that have threatened to cancel his Christmas Eve delivery flights over the years. Just like all of us, the community at the North Pole has to grapple with such issues as global warming, power outages, keeping up with increasingly-complex technologies, unwanted neighbors, and even political division.
Most of all, Santa needs to keep his workforce cooperating together. But can loving but retiring seals, visionary but impractical penguins, driven but domineering polar bears, responsible but change-resistant reindeer, and hard-working but stubborn elves really form a cohesive team?
Find out how Santa manages to pull off Christmas, year after year, by relying on the beliefs that differences make us stronger and that we work best when we work together. These funny, heart-warming, and amazingly relatable stories will help keep the true meaning of Christmas alive in your heart all year long.
