Oh young one who taught you all those silly lies? Were stories of a fake Santa Claus read to you on Christmas Night? Well now let us correct the lies your parents told! For my story goes much deeper than jingle bells of old. Zephyr Goose - zephyrtheclown.bandcamp.com

Once upon a time, there was snow, and the reverberation of the HHHH of the Great Honking still filled the Multiverse. And I found myself suddenly awake and wandering Across white grounds of fluff and cold, until I saw my destiny, and I latched onto that pole. Those silly clowns, they laugh and play, for that I love them so, but they don't understand the hard work that must go into my eternal quest, to create the perfect present– the gift I'd know you’d love best. A lifetime of this I sought after, but after 1,000 lifetimes or so, I could no longer feel their laughter.

Oh sure, they were still excited and worshiped the great Santer Claus, but in my heart I grew weary, and my gifts for clowns I must pause. So away from my pole I wandered, down into the Dreamlands of Old, to find my pesky sibling the Easter Bunny to fulfill a prophecy untold. I stole their eye and ran away back to my kingdom of cold. But on my way back, I heard a crack and saw the eye roll from my pocket, up and down and around again, even grabbing it would not stop it! Until it flew in the head of an elf in a bed– an elven baby left out in the snow. I approached oh so cautiously and carefully and slowly bent down to look and saw the Eye of the Easter Bunny shining right back into me and reflecting me back into the story of that wee child–alone in the cold, wrapped in swaddling cloth and laid in a manger. Through the eye, they were able to communicate to me, in a way that was not quite words, not quite song or dance, but a direct telekinetic spark of creation, like the thought before an idea before a story.

This babe was Robin Goodfellow but you can call them Puck, and running into them was not just a matter of luck. They needed my help– The help of a creator! For they had fallen from their home And needed help returning. But this universe was all wrong, and the one portal out was not possible here. It has closed behind them. They needed me to create a new universe, one where they could get back home. Emme Phyzema - emmephyzema.bandcamp.com Zephyr Goose - zephyrtheclown.bandcamp.com

Wait wait wait, that’s not the way the story goes. Santa crucified himself on a Christmas tree and took out his own eye so he could meet Puck’s family! Meli Goose - dreammeli.bandcamp.com Michael Mirror - michaelmirror.bandcamp.com

The eye of the Easter Bunny took me to exactly what I had been looking for– the answer to my quest– The perfect present! A whole new world for a child, so they can get the true love they are seeking. Robin/Puck and I grew closer, and I quickly loved the kid. For they created worlds of wonder with every action that they did. We understood each other deeply by the time we'd built our home– a whole new universe to roam.

The center of the world is full of presents that were meant for the dinosaurs. They never cracked open the planet to find the gifts that Santa brought them. Meli Goose - dreammeli.bandcamp.com

So I huffed, and I puffed, and I blew the world in! here comes santa claus here comes santa claus . . . With a crash a creak and a crinkle, but in my heart I held that spark of my Santa’s true Tinkle and Kringle. ‘Till I broke through, and what did you knew? This world was like none I had seen.

I need to figure out the core of who Santa is as this Creator God. Creation, as in the ultimate act of creating this universe, always seemed cruel. And I always felt a good creator, as in one who creates art, would know how to reflect that cruelty. Obviously, creation is a lot of things, but we wanted Santa to be kind. We’ve played with this idea that it’s his shadow that created this universe. But perhaps he’s kind of like the Mormon God, restrained by the laws of this universe, and the laws themselves are cruel. And so he makes a higher plane for us mortals. He shares gifts and messages for us. But how cruel to even make us in the first place! Is how I feel at least. We want Santa to be kind, but perhaps he is absent minded? But he sees you when you’re sleeping. He knows when you’re awake. What’s holding him back? We’ve had a real struggle with the lore around this project. We want to capture that sense of universal unity and cohesion the Machine Elves seem to experience, but our own minds are broken. Of course there is a oneness to all things, but experiencing true oneness or “ego-death” as the wooks call it, (not just the death of our own egos, but of our ability to understand other egos), this leads to a non-functional mess. Seeing the connection between the pieces is good, but we must see the pieces as their own individual parts in order to function in this world.

The beauty of Puck was not some outlier luck, but from a commune of lovely beings! They all gave me hugs, and I was tugged from wonder to wonder unbelievable. Michael Mirror - michaelmirror.bandcamp.com Zephyr Goose - zephyrtheclown.bandcamp.com

My mouth stood agape as I watched them create with thoughtless wonder organically. It came from their mouths or any other spout–an idea became life in an instant.

Boots & Shoes & Boots & Shoes & … What’s Intrusive? What’s Intrusive? … You know who lived in Santa’s Boots? A little old lady! A little old lady lived in Santa’s boots with a bunch of kids. But they were microscopic children. You couldn’t even see them. Some people call them fairies. The Goose Twins - thegoosetwins.bandcamp.com

I had the dark thought that a creator I'm not compared to these magic elves. But they wanted to play, and didn't mind the way I built my creations like shelves– measured and leveled and perfectly beveled. They thought it was neat! Like I was one of a kind for taking pleasure and care in what I did make, but my awe would not shake as I saw them create from the air. So we began to trade trades. A trick for a spade. I gave them a tool. They gave me a rule. And soon we were creating together, two hearts intertwined. So far from my mind was that first pole of snowy weather.

After Bliss for a while, I began to remember the smiles of presents I gave long ago. I propositioned the elves to think of more than ourselves and create wonder for all we may know. So now with my help, we fill every stocking and shelf with presents and prizes and toys. And all that we ask, is if your up to the task, remember the elves, and create with their unbridled joy! Ho ho ho! Zephyr Goose - zephyrtheclown.bandcamp.com Quiet Lodge - quietlodgeslc.bandcamp.com

about

The inspiring story of how the God of this Universe, Santa Claus, met a young babe named Puck, who would lead Santa on a journey to the Center of the Great Honking where the Machine Elves and the process of creation itself are inseparable.
