Welcome Alosil!

We had a special event here at the North Pole today.

Thrgi and his wife Hidys had a baby boy.

They have picked the name Alosil.

I got to hold him.

Just as I’d held Thrgi and Hidys when they were young – for they were both born at the North Pole, too.

Babies help us to remember that no matter how dark things seem, life goes on.

They are a promise.

As I held Alosil, I thought of the first times I held each of my own children.

And I remember that I have to finish the story of how Mrs. Claus and I married!

All in good time.

Tonight’s thoughts belong to Alosil and the future.
