There’s a few familiar faces popping up, but they were much too young at the time to properly gauge what a stressful time it was between Simone’s resignation and Silas taking over. Even after a replacement was eventually chosen, the lack of prep-time meant his first “run” was preemptively canceled, and regular duties didn’t resume until a year later. During all this, questions about the role Santa played in global Elf management also came up as a new Elf Council HQ was built in Dixie, a city that was growing prosperous for totally legitimate non-mafia related reasons. The future of Christmas and Santas was uncertain.
Don’t worry though. I’m sure by the time the next generation has to step in most of this will have sorted itself out, probably.
Yes, thankfully the slow and inescapable advancement of time brings nothing but blessings.
