Teppo, Mark
Rudolph! He Is the Reason for the Season
The behind-the-scenes workings at the North Pole are narrated by Bernard Rosewood, one of the elves of the North Pole Consortium. The story begins with Santa's realization that a young girl's request to get her dad back for Christmas isn't going to happen. Dad, you see, died in a car accident on a snowy road shortly after Thanksgiving. The NPC can do a lot, but they can't do miracles. Enter Rudolph, who has been hairless, cranky, and perpetually irradiated since the unfortunate malfunction of the Nuclear Clock in 1964.
