~ Introduction ~ There have been twelve humans known as Santa in the history of time. I am the thirteenth to officially have the title.
I have had many requests in my travels to tell the true stories of the Little People, Santa, and my life as a Santa. After many years and much persuasion, I am finally getting the job accomplished.
My early childhood was filled with vivid dreams and visions. I had no idea that these were preparing me for my destiny.
Through these early dreams and visions I learned about the world of the Little People. I learned their oral history and philosophies. Through these dreams I was taught to live by their one law and to adopt their gentle mannerism.
At an early age I found abilities within me that the other children lacked. My art skills blossomed in kindergarten; I had a very unusual birthmark and an uncommonly soft voice; and I could see things in the world around me that the other people didn’t notice. I also started to acquire some of the physical traits of the Little People. When I was in grade school I started to grow excessive body hair at a rapid rate. My hair color would shift corresponding to my surroundings and the climate.
This was all very confusing to me. My mother did her best to assure me that my mind was still intact and that for me these differences were perfectly normal. Actually, until the day of my coronation, I myself could not believe that my destiny was to become Santa and the Little People did exist outside of my dreams After all this was contrary to what society was trying to make me believe.
The Little Peoples oral history was always fascinating to me. I felt that other humans might enjoy it also. So now I wish to share some of it with you. I feel that this is part of my legacy. Fulfilling my destiny and sharing it with other is the last promise I ever made to my mother. I dedicate this work to her and her memory with all my love.
