How does he control Elves so well? What's his power?

[HOLIDAY CHEER]

He found a bunch of like minded elves and together they make and deliver toys and junk to people for fun. The only reason he or any of his kind do what they do is because it amuses them. All humans really amount to is a hobby for powerful immortal fairytale creatures like Santa Clause and his group.

And if we piss them off they curse us. We're just pets.

They're stuck in his fucking polar fortress, they can't get out.
Either they can do what he wants, and make shit for him all year long, or he can abandon them, find a whole load of new elves, and let the old ones starve.

>starve
>not thrown out into the arctic to die of exposure

He's effectively omniscient. I would imagine that can give one astronomical amount of blackmail material on pretty much anyone...

He's merely a cheer sponge that the elves feed upon for 364 days a year. On the final day, they animate his long rotted corpse like a bodysuit and launch it around the globe to soak up cheer like some kind of cheer solar array.

>but why the toys
Necessary activity to elicit cheer generation and corpse worship.

ive had this theory for a while.
the krampus would abduct the naughty children and turn them into "elves" to create toys for all the good little boys and girls.

I like it. Traditionally, Krampus was a demon beaten into submission by St. Nick to do his bidding.

Wouldn't they be dwarves by fantasy standards?

more like gnomes really.

pixies, which is why so many christmas gifts break or are otherwise unusable

I now want to use this in a setting as a background fight.

>originally pagan belief beaten by submission by the representation of a christian saint
Really makes your neurons fire

It was the Christians' way of saying "Our god can beat up your god(s)."

What did you think those weird hats were for? Signalling the time of giving and plenty? Oh no, those are his are control mechanisms.

Money.

Nick is one of the richest people on the planet. Unsurprising, considering that he's the face of commercialism for two solid months of the year, with money flooding in from everyone from Coca Cola to Mars Candy. You'd be hard pressed to find a single store in America that doesn't have his face somewhere, either on packaging or decorations, and he's even got a physical outpost in just about every single mall.

From the money he rakes in each year from corporate endorsements, appearance fees (and remember, he appears in hundreds of thousands of locations every day), commercials, and even Hollywood movies and studio albums, he could give every child in the world under the age of fifteen over $1,000 worth of gifts and still have money left over.

We're talking about the most successful icon in the history of marketing.

Of course, it's far more cost effective for him to hire elves to make his toys, even if he has to pay those elves ludicrous amounts of money to keep them happy, because he makes even more ludicrous amounts of money.

He enslaved them
He is like anti thorgrim, he enslaves the elves and gives everyone that didnt got grudged presents

He's Odin in disguise, so he's probably getting his son to transform into a horse and have sex with them or something like that.

He can distinguish "naughty" from "well-disciplined naughty", obviously.
