Toys for each girl and boy

      While I was at the North Pole I learned something. Now I wasn't given specifics, but it appears that Santa is the biggest importer in the world. He told me he had several companies throughout the world to get the goods he needs for making every Christmas gift. It seems these businesses are "run" by elves, but they look human as to not arouse suspicion. I asked how this was possible and was again given the "Christmas Magic" excuse. It seems that they even import all natural fabrics and dyes for some of the stuffed animals. I was allowed into the toymaking training workshop. You see before the elves are allowed to move on to more complicated toys they need to master the basics, stuffed animals and wooden toys.

      As you can see the wooden toys come in a variety of ways, though it looks like someone snuck in a non-wooden toy into the workshop. Every toys gets played with for a little bit just to make sure they will hold up. The stuffed animals seem to get extra snuggles from this elf. The elves in the toy workshops all end up with tons of boxes laying around because after the toys are tested they are sent to the gift wrapping workshop before making their way into Santa's magic bag. We will see that workshop tomorrow!

A Girl and her Bear

      I am sure many of you have seen Toy Story, have read or been read The Velveteen Rabbit, or maybe you saw the movie Ted. Well this story is kind of like squishing all of those together. You see there once was a little girl who loved ballet. While her aunt was out shopping one day she came across a poseable bear in a tutu and thought it would be perfect for her niece.



      The little girl was very serious when it came to her ballet practice, but she loved having her bear do the moves with her. Over time the bear started to move on it's own. It would copy the little girl's dance moves as she practiced. The little girl realized she must have a magical bear! As time went on the little bear improved it's ballet skills and started showing off for the little girl.



      The little girl was astonished and tried to tell her aunt and mother about her magical bear, but whenever she tried to show them the bear just stood still. Now one but the little girl saw the bear dance on it's own. Over time the little girl grew and became a famous ballerina, and her bear was always with her, watching and learning so they could dance together.
