23rd November - 1st post!

Elen mea Ardrin

It was decided at the ACM (Annual Council Meeting) last month to write a blog from an Elf’s perspective – FC is keen on exploring ideas from your world. We’ve had some disasters trying to integrate some of them, fitting tyres to the sleigh was an interesting one... Anyway, going back to the meeting, I decided to volunteer to write the blog. I’m still not completely sure what I have let myself in for but I do hope you will come to enjoy it.

Maybe I should introduce myself. I am Ethrin. I’m a 5th generation Elf of the North Pole Community. I live with 952 elves, 242 Reindeer and, of course, Mr and Mrs FC. You’ll probably know FC as Father Christmas. We also know him as Father Chris. You may also know him by many other names such as Santa Claus or Sinter Klaas, St Nicholas, Père Noël, Babbo Natale or Julenissen. He has many different names from delivering presents to children in many different countries.
