The workshop’s first winter lights are on

The elves have opened the planning room for another Christmas season.

The workshop’s first winter lights are on

The first lamps are glowing in Santa’s workshop. By the time the stars appear over the North Pole, the planning room is already full of ribbon samples, tiny sketches and a map covered in notes.

One team is polishing toy trains. Another is testing wrapping paper that can survive a very windy sleigh ride. At the back of the room, two elves are holding a spirited debate about which ribbon belongs on a midnight-blue parcel.

Santa walks in, studies the choices and smiles. “Ask the children,” he says. Suddenly everyone has a new job: write down the colors, songs and little acts of kindness children are hoping to see this Christmas.

Outside, the reindeer are beginning their twilight practice. Inside, a new season of stories is underway. This bulletin is festive fiction from Santa’s world.
