The Petty Elf Daily | North Pole Gossip Blog by Red Alpha — ugly sweaters

Today the first official representative of the Holiday Alliance arrives at the North Pole: Cupid himself. Elegant, glowing, and clearly used to being the most important person in any room, he’s here to “inspect our emotional infrastructure.” Sparkles is impressed, Finn is overwhelmed, and I’m just trying not to roll my eyes into another dimension.

Santa finally gathers Sparkles, Finn, and the senior elves to explain why strange visitors have been sneaking into the Restricted Wing. What he reveals isn’t just a project—it’s the beginning of a full holiday transformation that will expand Christmas magic far beyond the North Pole.

Today Santa held a private meeting in the Restricted Wing—except the people leaving the room afterward were definitely not from the North Pole. Sparkles is confused, Finn is curious, and I… I know something big is brewing, and it smells like cross-holiday magic.

Today Santa quietly pulls Sparkles aside to reveal a mysterious new project he’s been working on behind closed doors. Strange symbols, unfamiliar blueprints, and footprints that definitely do NOT belong to any North Pole elf hint that something big is coming… something that may expand Christmas magic far beyond the North Pole.

Today the newlyweds step up as co-leaders in the workshop. Sparkles brings structure, Finn brings calm, and together they create the kind of productive holiday synergy that makes even Santa raise an eyebrow like, “Well okay then.” It’s chemistry, leadership, and a dash of North Pole romance.
