In the spirit of answering the questions the curious children of the world write to me wondering (and as Mrs. Claus suggested recently) I will answer a very good question a few of you wonderful friends are wondering!
Question: How is it that Mrs. Claus and I can be nearly 2000 years old and have children and grand children?
Excellent question!
Let’s see… well some of what goes on around here I will admit appears to be magic and that I have done nothing over the years to deny, nor dispel that notion. It is true that Mrs. Claus and I have thus far lived much longer than humans do these days according to the human clock.
However, we must remember that humans have had longer and shorter life spans at different points in history over the thousands of years that people have been living on this Earth AND the secret truth is there is more than one clock!
I’ve written a little bit here about Elves before and how they live for thousands of years remember? Well, the truth about elves is that they are not so much magical creatures as you might imagine. Although magic is all in how you see it yes? So it is up to you what is magical, what is a miracle and what is nature? Sometimes something can be all three! Babies being born for instance but I digress…
Mrs. Claus and I live aligned with a much older “clock” than the one hanging in your kitchen. Elves, and many other timeless folks live by this older sense of “time,” or rhythm of the the Earth. It explains how we can live what appears to be so long by kitchen clock standards; and have children and grandchildren; and be everywhere on Christmas Eve.
Being so deeply connected to nature (everything that lives and breathes and grows outside) is how we are not so cold even here in the sub zero North; how we are not so bothered by year long nights and days and how we can know by thinking about someone who has been naughty and who has been nice…
What else do you wonder?
Your Santa Claus
