Norman is a the gnome who lives at the North Pole. He looks after the Great Store of Presents which slowly fills each year as the elves make presents for every child in the world and then empties quickly on Christmas Eve as Santa prepares for his annual run.
Norman used to be quite a miserable soul, though. He and his team of gnomes weren’t known about outside of the Arctic. It was understandable that Santa and the reindeers are so well known but otherwise the elves got all the glory for manufacturing the gifts while the gnomes were completely ignored. And they did a fine job, Norman thought, sorting and organising all the gifts within the warehouse to help Santa in the delivering (a method copied by Royal Mail among other delivery organisations) and keeping them safe and dry from the elements- they deserved at least a mention from time to time.
One day, Norman was sat on a snowy mound smoking his pipe when a little polar bear walked by, saw Norman and said, “Hello there, why do you look so glum?” And so Norman told the bear about his gnomes’ lack of fame and the bear sat thoughtfully and said, “Well, I have contacts on the internet; I think I might be able to persuade a young man to help change this situation.”
And with that the little polar bear wandered off and soon began a chain of events that would end in this and part two.
