During the holiday season, we often remind our kids that, ‘Santa is watching!’ But there’s another set of eyes observing us even more closely this time of year—the curious, impressionable eyes of our little ones and the generation to come.
I’m always amazed by the dedication and commitment of essential workers. They don’t just make the season bright; they keep the world turning—often during the oddest hours and under the toughest conditions. From delivery drivers working long nights to bring packages to our doors, to farmers and ranchers waking up before dawn to feed our communities, these everyday heroes deserve a special dose of generosity. Even here in the North Pole, we know the vital role essential workers play in communities big and small. They’re the ones ensuring everything runs smoothly—clearing roads, delivering packages, and making sure communities thrive. Without them, our world wouldn’t run nearly as smoothly. They keep us safe and warm. They make sure the lights and...

My heart is heavy, not because these acts aren't up to par for me, but because generosity shouldn't be seasonal. Generosity is a crucial ingredient to creating a beautiful culture in our community. Extending generosity to a stranger can feel odd or even uncomfortable for some, but if you choose to see them as friends you just haven't met yet, you may find yourself a bit quicker to extend unexpected kindness to these 'soon to be friends' of yours. Santa loves to pay for a strangers dinner when...
Every year Santa's sleigh is packed full of toys and trinkets for children all over the world. They bring so much joy with every special delivery, however, there is a special magic in the moments we get to spend together throughout the season. Whether it's cozy night in with friends, a family outing to see Christmas light displays around town, or an unexpected adventure, shared experiences create memories that last way beyond the holiday season. As the elves get older and create their own families, my time with them is limited, so giving and receiving experience gifts are the most meaningful for me.
