The 21st century Santa Claus represents the diversity of the Believing World, so now you can tell your children about a Santa that truly represents you, because just as the Believing World grew—so did the Santa Claus family.

Now, there are real Santas of every color and ethnic background on every continent on earth. In this story, that’s ancient history and not the issue at hand. The issue for the 21st century is “the girl.”

The Twentieth (generation) North Pole Santa and his wife, Merry, had no children—and adopted Holly, an Athabascan girl who, at age three, lost her parents. Now, at age 16, and as the first child of the North Pole Santa, it is her birthright to become the Twenty-First North Pole Santa.

This is a first, and in the Santa family, all “firsts” are decided upon by the oldest generation of brothers—and this generation has decided that there’s never been an adopted Santa—and most particularly never a girl, since Santa’s have never had girls. Not only that—they have decided that she will not be initiated to run the sleighs when all her cousins are—again, because she’s adopted and a girl.

That’s the dilemma—will Holly get her birthright or will her favorite cousin Nicky become the Twenty-First North Pole Santa?

This is a story for all Believers who are concerned about a Santa Claus that doesn’t represent their family. This story is one of diversity on many levels: ethnicity, gender, generation, adoption and tradition, among them. It tells how the diversity began, about the elves and why Santa lives where it’s so cold!
