Timeless CheerThe snowstorm of 1888 was unlike any Santa Claus had ever encountered. Winds howled with relentless fury, burying the sleigh and its magical reindeer in drifts taller than trees. The bag of presents lay untouched—its contents undelivered to millions of children. For the first time, Santa feared he might fail. Enter Marcus Caldwell, a Time Keeper on his latest mission to ensure the magic of Christmas survived for future generations. Tasked with safeguarding the spirit of joy that spanned centuries, Marcus had tracked an anomaly to the North Pole. The storm, he discovered, was not natural but the result of a rogue experiment that had thrown the atmosphere into chaos. When Marcus stumbled upon the stranded sleigh, his jaw dropped. There, among the swirling snow, was Santa himself, looking more mortal and desperate than Marcus ever imagined. “Who are you?” Santa asked, his voice carrying the weight of worry. “A friend,” Marcus replied. “And I think I can help.” Santa’s eyes widened as Marcus explained his mission and the capabilities of the time-traveling watch on his wrist. Without hesitation, Marcus unclasped the device and handed it over. “This will let you move through time and space. Deliver the presents as you normally would, but faster than ever before,” Marcus explained. Santa hesitated, but as the storm raged on, he nodded. “You may have saved Christmas, my friend.” Moments later, Santa vanished, the watch glowing as he zipped through time, pausing in each household just long enough to place presents and nibble a cookie or two. Marcus watched from the sidelines, marveling as the storm began to dissipate with each gift delivered and each child’s belief in Christmas restored. When Santa finally returned, the twinkle in his eyes rivaled the stars. He handed the watch back to Marcus with a smile. “Thank you,” Santa said. “Christmas is safe, thanks to you.” Marcus grinned. “And thanks to you, the world still believes in magic.” As Marcus walked away into the icy tundra, the bells of Santa’s sleigh rang out—a sound that would echo through time as a symbol of hope and generosity. — Merry Christmas!
