In a land where Christmas was essentially a social holiday, a man who had turned his back on his neighbors was awakened to the importance of sharing your life without expectation. Jonathon Syzmoor began a partnership with the man known as Saint Nicholas, who frequently made requests on behalf of those in need. Because these services were provided anonymously, Jonathon became known through legend as The Woodsman. When Jonathon grew too old to continue to serve these requests, his grandson accepted the Woodsman's Staff, thereby continuing the work Jonathon started. Andrew's son, Abram, continued the family legacy, however his service was different, often traveling beyond the boundaries of Scandinavia. When Abram died, while in service to Saint Nicholas, the staff passed to a new Woodsman and a new family, Jameson Thorpe in Namsskogan, Norway. Each of these men shared their lives without expectation, but not always without question.
