The Dance at Santa's Circle

By R.S. Kellogg

Nicholas stood holding hands with Jane on the crest of a hill just inside the magic gateway to the valley that held the village of Santa's Circle. . . .

 

When Nicholas decided to court Jane, he knew at some point he must introduce Jane to the elves. A dance seemed just the right time to do it.

 

After all, the dances at Santa's Circle fairly burst with good cheer, merriment, and delight.

 

Surely a good time to introduce the woman of his heart to his crew. And a good way to get to dance with Jane as well.

 

Unbeknownst to Nicholas and Jane as they prepare to head in to the dance at Santa's Circle together, the evening brings surprises neither one of them anticipated.

About the Author

A Word on Authenticity of Myths:

The world of this story is a bit of an alternate reality space. Here, St. Nicholas has been operating for many generations as a Santa Claus figure, and the village where Jane’s family lives in the north has had some association with him as a living ageless being for many years.

The story does not follow the actual time lines of Christmas evolution and myths.

I hope you will enjoy it in the spirit of good fun, and tarry for a spell with the romance around how Nicholas may have come to fall in love.

Cheers,

R.S. Kellogg
