For millennia, he has been a myth, a legend, and a symbol of hope. Now, for the first time, Santa Claus-known throughout time as Odin, Veles, P re No l, and Joulupukki-reveals his true, ancient story.
Go beyond the chimney and the sleigh to discover a chronicle of history and hope from an eternal being whose sole duty is to protect a single, luminous gift: The Thread of Kindness. He is the keeper of the purest, most unselfish joy in the human heart.
In this revealing memoir, Santa takes you on an incredible journey across history and dimensions, where you will discover:
The True Origins of Christmas: Learn how his ancient role as the Norse god Odin, the Yule Father, began the tradition of leaving gifts for children to instill hope and kindness during the harshest winters.
The Engine of Christmas: Uncover the secrets of the North, where his work is not magic, but "logistics powered by advanced engineering", and meet the brilliant Elves and Dwarfs who maintain the trans-dimensional Bifr st bridge for instant travel.
The Impossible Steed: Meet Sleipnir, his magnificent, eight-legged, genetically tailored horse that runs on time itself.
The Tradition: Find out how a handful of straw left in a boot for Sleipnir evolved into the modern Christmas stocking.
The Intelligence Network: Meet his loyal ravens, Huggin and Munnin, who fly across the world gathering information on who is being naughty and who is being nice.
The Thread of Kindness is more than a story-it is a profound look at the enduring selflessness and charity of humanity. It is Santa's personal "thank you" to the world, proving that even when times are hardest, a flicker of hope and kindness will always push through.
