history from 1887 to 2011 (seeing the future is a tough one!)
1887: In order to keep up with growing populations, Claus Toys becomes
industrialized. The elves learn the ways of mass production on the
assembly line.
1893: Another mutant reindeer is born, and is named Rudolf II in honor of the
first one, whom the communist government now honors for "giving the
government back to the elves."
1900: Sigmund Freud's "The Interpretation of Dreams" is published.
1902: After he had been presumed dead for years, Frosty the Snowman is claimed
to have been sighted on several occasions. Throughout the kingdom,
children claim that they all heard him say he'd be back again some day.
1906: Claus VI is born. The Claus family celebrates, but the elves aren't the
least bit excited.
1909-1922: The toys distributed yearly begin to show signs of propaganda
influence. Frosty the Snowman continues to appear occasionally, and Claus
V begins to grow uneasy, fearing some sort of hidden sabotage.
1925: Claus V dies, under mysterious circumstances. He's found buried in the
snow in the castle garden, frozen solid. Many think it is the work of
Frosty, but no one can prove it.
1926: Claus VI takes over, and immediately tightens up security. He rules with
an iron hand, but a fair one. Electric lights are installed in the
streets, and the castle and the town gets electricity. The factories are
expanded, and the toys continue to be used as propaganda for the world.
1929: Angered by Claus' commercialization of Christmas, the Grinch attempts to
remove the material goods to show the true meaning of Christmas. He fails,
and later Claus commissions a cartoon, which warps the story so that the
Grinch is made out to be the villain.
1949: Claus VII is born.
1979: Claus VI dies of natural causes.
1933-1990: The North Pole remains stable, with everything running smoothly.
Across the Western world, a pattern starts to emerge and become noticed.
Children receive Claus' toys each Christmas, but as they grow older, their
parents throw them away. Then, as the children grow into adults and have
children of their own, the toys start to surface again. And so the cycle
goes on.
1991: First sightings of Anti-Claus.
1993: Anti-Claus is observed closely with telescopes, and photographed. His suit
is like that of Santa Claus, but with the reds and whites reversed. He
carries a 3-ply Hefty bag full of gifts no one wants or needs. And instead
of using reindeer and a sleigh, he rides in a bathtub pulled by eight
flying cows.
1997: Anti-Claus is tracked by radar and found to live in an underground hideout
run by dwarves at the South Pole.
2002: Communism fails utterly at the North Pole resulting from the nature of the
elves. Claus VII, flying clockwise around the earth making the Christmas
rounds, collides with Anti-Claus, who was flying counterclockwise. A huge
explosion and blinding flash of light occurs, leading scientists to
believe that they annihilated each other.
2007: The North Pole becomes a democracy, run wholly by the elves. Christmas is
no longer commercialized or exploited. Happiness is finally achieved
throughout the kingdom.
2011: It's discovered that Claus VII didn't die in the explosion, but merely
made it appear so. From there, he went to live in the Bahamas. He's later
found, dead of a heart attack, in a jacuzzi with two and a half dozen
nymphets.
