I really don’t like the increasingly common theme of Santa’s Workshop as a wage-slave factory. Not funny. The elves make toys for Santa because they want to, because they love it, because it’s their purpose in life. They don’t go grocery shopping. They don’t pay rent. They’re magic, for goodness sake!
We are just seeing local social and labor mores through the fiction of what they think Santa’s workshop is like.
He moved from landless Arctica to Antarctica in 1904 knowing about global warming and the humans hands in making it. (Don’t even ask him about the Nazis that moved in next door starting in 1938.)
He is a halfling (Homo sapiens Svartálfar) of human and Light elf (Svartálfar). They are an unbreakable family. Not a boss to workers top down operation.
The Dark elves (Dökkálfar) are their antagonistic counter parts. Where Krampus and other such creatures come from. They once worked together in the dim time then parted. Not on the best of terms.
Though with Kris Kringle’s horrible arachnophobia he is engaged in wars against the space spiders who love him. He lets his robot duplicates take over when December rolls around.

I have to ask … Is the Kitty with Santa looking REALLY familiar to ‘Kitty’ that Rufus kept during the ’70’s running of GA?! Looks really similar!
