Lore:
Pack Leader Jaci of the Wandering Stars Pack was out for a late night winter stroll when the sound of jolly laughter and jingling bells alerted her to not being as alone as she had though.. She cautiously followed the sound to a snowy clearing where she found a large fluffy wolf. "Who are you and what business do you have in my territory?" the leader asked the stranger. "Do not worry, my name is Santa Claws. I've come from another land to bring gifts and cheer to all the wolves here," the wolf answered. Knowing the other wolf spoke the truth, Jaci relaxed and invited them back to the pack's home. The pack was used to inviting travelers to stay with them so when a new wolf entered their den site they were very excited to meet them. Everyone crowed around Santa Claws asking questions about their travels and pups begged for stories. Santa Claws let out a hearty laugh at the eager attention. They settled down to tell their tales of magical snowy forests and deer who could fly. The time went by too fast but Santa Claws had to move on much to the pack's pups' dismay. They pleaded for more stories but Santa Claws chuckled and shook their head. "I have many other packs to visit and little time to do so," they explained, gently nuzzling each of the pups. Jaci padded up carrying a pretty silver tail bangle with some holly attached to it. "Take this to remember us by," she said, nosing the jewelry towards them. "Thank you very much. Have a happy winter holiday all of you," Santa Claws grinned. The pack members all bid their farewells and then Santa Claws bounded away leaving the sound of jolly laughter and jingling bells in their wake.

Holiday song: Peppermint Winter - Owl City
Lore:
The winter season had laden the mountains with snow, bringing with it a peaceful silence whilst the snow fell gently from the clouds above. The ground, blanketed in white, shimmered and sparkled beautifully under the moonlight. It was a brisk cold night for the Tribe of Six Eagles, as they were all nestled cozily in their dens for sleep. A strange new sound wakes them and they perk their heads up from their slumbers; it was a sound they'd never heard before, a sweet light tinkering almost like bird songs but much less natural. Then, a howl breaks across the sky. They did not recognize it as one of their own. Quickly they all jumped to their paws and peeked outside of their dens, looking around wildly in search of the newcomer until they spot them prancing into the heart of their home. Flickering Light, the tribe's leader, was the first to greet them personally. "Who are you?" asked the lead. "My name is Santa Claws, and I mean no harm. I come from somewhere far away from here, and I have chosen to visit your pack. I bring only gifts and good fortune." answered the stranger. The pack calmed, this newcomer did not seem or feel dangerous. They spent the night together talking of the land which Santa Claws hailed from, through tales of magic and a mystical snowy forest. It seemed like only a short time had passed before Santa Claws got to their paws and announced their departure. "I must be going now, and continue my journey" they explained. "Please, take these with you as our gratitude" Flickering Light barked as she nosed toward them a red cloak and a few perfect snowflakes. Santa Claws bowed their head, "thank you kindly." As they parted ways from the tribe they let out a deep howl that rang harmoniously in the air, bringing about a show of lights that danced across the sky, and were soon gone with the cold wind and the sound of tinkering jingles.

Lore: Snow was getting thicker, the wind was bitter and harsh, pretty soon it would hard to see anything. Shivering at the mere thought of being stuck in a blizzard Santa claws shook her coat, and hurried along, following what seamed like a small light almost invisible to see.
The small light grew bigger and before she knew it she had wondered into a small pack of wolves, their faces aglow by a small fire. "My name is Santa claws, I come from a place far away from here, I come baring gifts and holiday spirit" the leader of the pack, smaller than the other other wolves but seamingly older trotted up to greet her. "Hello, my name is lapis, won't you stay for a while?"
They all huddled by the fire, sharing fresh food and chatting about the festive season and telling stories of magic and Christmas spirit. When it was time to leave, Santa claws handed everyone a small trinket "a Christmas gift for everyone, merry Christmas" lapis and the rest of the pack thanked her for her kindness, gifting her with a blue jay, to keep her company on her travels, and with that she disappeared into the night. Bells seamed to jingle in the distance but faded just as quickly.

Lore: The CircleE Pack was standing around the fire one cold night, enjoying the warmth it provided, when out of nowhere, they hear a loud howl and then laughter. It wasn't scary, but joyful. The leader, Glacier, walked slowly towards the sound, curious, when suddenly a beautifu wolf appeared out of the shadows. She smiled and bowed slightly. "Hi! Im Santa Claws. I'm travelling to different packs this Christmas season and its your turn!" Glacier overcame his shock quickly and smiled at the she wolf. He nodded and beckoned her towards the others. "Welcome! Come meet my pack!" Santa Claws met the pack and stayed for a little while, helping with the pups while she was there. She soon had to leave, but not before the pack gave her a Burning Bush Crown and a Zebra Longwing for her journeys.

Lore: Santa Claws came into the terrytory with birds and butterflies and living lights following. Their joy was obvious and it was as contagious as it was beautiful, almost seeming to make them glow from within. The wolves of the pack didn't even have to ask, who the stranger was, as they had heard the stories of Santa Claws growing up. So, instead they gifted the visiting wolf a few things and bade them farewell and save travels when they had to leave, hoping that they would visit many more packs after them.

Lore: Santa Claws decided to visit Akiramenai ōkami. She heard that this pack was very friendly and welcoming, so she confidently entered its territory. What brings you... Ah you are Santa! Hello, our leader is currently sleeping, but I'll go wake her up to tell her about you! I'm sure she'll be happy! said the wolf having Jackalop at his side. Oh thank you! said santa. Suddenly, a light brown wolf slowly came out from behind the bushes. You don't have to, Thunder. I heard someone approaching. You're Santa Claws, right? said the leader, Shootout, while sniffing the stranger. Yes, I am! I have come to give presents to the members of your pack! I have no bad intentions! she said. Hmm... okay I will lead you to the other wolves. said Shootout. The three of them went deeper into the jungle, to a place where other wolves were resting. They were all very happy. They sang carols, talked lively, laughed. It had been a long time since Akiramenai ōkami had been so loud and joyful. Unfortunately, Santa Claws had to move on. Shootout warned him of the danger lurking in the jungle and told Thunder to lead her away. On the way, Thunder gave her a feather bringing good luck.

Lore: The faint ringing of bells could be heard all throughout the land, like a whisper in the wind. Many of the House's wolves stopped to listen, almost unsure if they were imagining it, until the sound of Christmas Cheer grew loud and clear. With a grand flurry of snow, and the vibrant sound of bells, a mysterious and marvelous wolf arrived at the borders of the House of Mystique. King Calavell, a wholehearted keeper of tradition, welcomed the cheerful figure onto the territory, and explained to the others the meaning of Christmas and the honor it was to welcome it's harbinger. After the day of fun was over, King Calavell offered a special gift in gratitude for her visit: enchanted, lunar sparks, that sparkled with electrifying magic. The House wished Santa Claws on her way, hoping to see her again next year.

Holiday song: Christmas (baby please come home) - Darlene Love
Lore: The Silver Leaves Pack were spending time together by a bonfire. It was a chilly night and had just started snowing lightly with the wind blowing through the trees. On a particular stronger gust of wind a light jingling could be heard. The pack perked their ears at the sound, looking at each other questioning if they had actually heard correctly. Sage, the pack lead, got up and squinted out at the forest before her to see if she could see anything when yet again there was another jingle and the sound of...laughter? As she stepped out some more she saw the faint outline of a fluffy wolf. "Who's there?" she barked out, her muscles tensing. "Easy there wolf, I mean no harm to your or your pack. For I am Santa Claws, journeying to many packs like your own and bringing joy and luck!" Sage relaxed seeing the colorful wolf, remembering hearing stories of Santa Claws. "Well please join us, the pups will be delighted to see you." And for the night they all sat by the bonfire telling stories, trying to catch snowflakes with their tongues, and sharing much laughter together. And then before they knew it, Santa Claws had to leave for the next pack.

Lore: The Spirits of Silvertip were rather suprised when a festive wolf by the name of Santa Claws arrived in their territory. Intrigued by his mystic appearance and charm, the scout that had discovered the multicolored canine brought him back to camp where the jolly old wolf told the young pups the many stories of his travels.
Santa Claws stayed overnight, keeping watch over the pups. Later, during the darkest part of the winter night, he quietly snuck out of the camp grounds, making sure not to wake any pack members by keeping his pawsteps light and gentle. As soon as he had left the area, he took off into the blustery, snowy night, ready to visit yet another pack.

Lore: Many of the pack had been out playing in the fresh snow when the soft jingling of bells could be heard. Santa Claws had appeared, slowly coming into view over a small snow covered hill with a bright smile on their face. She radiated warmth and joy as they bounded over to the pack. Their delight and cheer was contagious and the other wolves couldn't help but join her in play. Dancing over the snowy field and singing to the moon. She entertained the small pups and shared stories with the elders before disappearing into the night. Leaving the pack much more cheery than before.
