Dragons Are Coming Clean

Santa’s prize sleigh team is ready to reveal one of their biggest secrets. Kris Kringle never had magical flying reindeer. Dragons, the fastest known creatures in flight, were always responsible for getting the fat man and all those gifts delivered around the world.

Dragons were nearly hunted to extinction in the medieval ages, forcing them to remain out of sight, all because of a misunderstanding. Dragons were rumoured to have been hiding gold, jewels and shiny human made trinkets, incensing the original owners of the highly prized items. To remain rich and powerful, these kings, knights and leaders of the realms waged a war on all dragons.

Long ago, it was learned that Santa was setting up a large-scale workshop in the far north, joining forces with elves and other magical folk. In keeping with their belief in service to others, the few remaining Dragons from around the world offered their services. The sleigh was shot down the first few years from numerous locations, hence the need for a cover story. Dragons don’t exist. Dragons are extinct. Gentle, harmless, flying northern reindeer with bright red noses were the new team. This story has been told since 625 CE.

It’s been a long time since dragons have been seen, much less hunted. Blitzen, Dasher and all the rest of the sleigh team believe now is the time to come out of the shadows to allow the truth to be known.

The big surprise – dragons have never had any interest in money or riches, and consider themselves protectors of humans. Until we started getting greedy and power hungry, humans and dragons lived side-by-side as friends. It is their hope that the future is a friendlier world, where we all get along once again.

They also never thought much of the cover story. Reindeer? That fly? They don’t even have wings.
