Santa's New Suit
Santa used to wear a pair of green pants and a green plaid shirt to go with them. When these wore out the elf tailors asked the fairies to look for a fabric that would wear well and be good for all weather; warm or cold.
They decided on spider silk. It is one of the strongest fibers in the world and is able to stretch 1 1/2 times it's length. It can become fluffy for warmth or thinner to keep him cool as needed.
The woven clothe is so tough it must be cut by fairies flitting along the cutting line and dissolving the fibers with their wands.
Every year apprentice elves gather white fur shed by all the forest creatures and the Arctic bears and weave it all together to form fresh fur for Santa's suit.
Santa carries a very special pocket watch given to him by his father when he took over the delivery of the toys on Christmas eve. Since Santa must deliver toys all around the world in one night he needs a little magical help. The watch is opened, the star globe is spun, and time stands still until the star globe is spun again and time resumes from where it left off.
All about Santa's Helpers
The Grand Elf is the most important elf at the North Pole.He makes sure that everyone does his job and that everything runs smoothly.He lives at the North Pole with his family until he retires and then another Grand Elf is chosen. When he retires he moves to the deep forest along with the rest of the retired elves and fairies and their families for a well deserved rest.
The sleigh master is the 2nd most important elf at the pole. The sleigh master's job has been passed down from father to son for many generations.He picks out the reindeer to train, plans diets with Mrs. Claus,and with Santa himself keeps the reindeer happy and strong for their long december trip.The newcommers take the names of the reindeer they replace and are taught how to fly, dodge tall buildings, and land on roofs of all kinds. Rudolph is the only reindeer that stays with the team- his nose was magicaly lit and colored one foggy night when Santa's deer needed help finding their way.
