Alright, let's DO THIS.

Santa's Journal of Granite 5th, 1053:
My metalworkers all seems busy about something, hauling trinkets around the fortress with little to no reason to do so, I've explicitally told all Furnace and Metal workers to do nothing but that so this year we'll get toys to every child in the world!
Granite 11th: I have ordered our south-western farms to begin farming Quarry bushes, as well as designating our smelting area to be smoothed over, because noone cares to work with magma with uneven footing.
Granite 12th, Thob Urvadnol, Skilled Woodcrafter, has been possesed and has gone around claiming various items in some sort of crazy silence. We'll let him be.
Ha! Right as I was about to close my journal and sleep for the night, a Thief is reported, and promptly strangled by a the brave Asmel Zagodlorbam:
He'll probably brag all week about this one, he already boasts that he's a "Dabbling Wrestler" now, ah I'll let him have his fun.
Bah! More thiefs in the night, while the Possessed Dwarf was out grabbing his items and was assaulted by the filth, luckily the thief ran ans the Dwarf continued his interesting yet creepy duty..
Granite 15th, MORE THIEVES! AUGH! Why do these Kobolds wish to steal the toys I am making for all children.
The Elves have come today, carrying many good which I will barter for. I've ordered an armful of flasks to be brought to the trade depot.
Granite 17th, The news is good this morning, no thieves for almost two days, and the Possessed dwarf has begun his work on an item. I'd like to knwo exactly what he's trying to make with only three logs, but I guess it's up to him.
The elves have arrived and are unloading their goods. I promptly went out to meet them and trade, we've gained about 120 berries and tubers, which will make a great deal of alcohol for my hardworking dwarves, and a good armload of cloth, which will be made into bags as soon as I find a Dwarf who looks talented enough to work with cloths.
Granite 22nd, Thob has finished his item:
I wish he'd teach me how he was able to make an ash bracelet, pity I see it as not being worth more than 4000*.
Slate 4th, the final week or so of granite was generally uneventful, I've ordered a large amount of stone to be dug out around a cluster of magnetite (To train the miner so he doesn't butcher all of it). The elves are still here for what seems like no reason.
Slate 13th, There sure are a lot of unused chairs in our furniture stockpile' I've been setting them up in our To-Be Eastern Dining Hall.
Slate 15th, a Cat just gave birth to four kittens. Four, I think it's time for us to start eating meat every once in a while.
Slate 24th, The elves have finally left. I guess they were busy being jealous of our superior toy-making skill.
Felsite 7th, 16 migrants have arrived today, mostly unskilled, but we got a handful of metalworkers, and a Hunter. The Hunter quickly promoted himself to sheriff, being the only Dwarf here with any weapon skill, no one disagreed.. or actually cared, everyone's too busy making toys or hauling toys to really give into politics. Oddly enough, the children are going around calling me the mayor.
Felsite 24th, I've taken up brewing in my free time, it's sure not as hard as most Dwarves claim it to be, I'm already a novice.
Felsite 25th. I've ordered the Hallway leading to the Smithing Area Widened to 7 Cubits wide (7 tiles, basically.)
Felsite 26th, A sad morning, I woke up and looked over our ever-working forges, and went off to brew. About halfway through preparing a barrel of sewer brew, a woodcutter reports that he saw our sheriff get murdered, by a Musk Ox, Named Tragiccloses.
Believe me, Tragiccloses, you will pay for your horrible injustice...
Okay, he WAS trying to kill you, but we need to eat more than you do.
Hematite 1st, The Woodcutters tell me that it is indeed summer now, and the perfect time for Cave Wheat Growing! All farm plots have been designated for Cave Wheat, except one that stays as Quarry Bushes.
----
Summer Stocks:
Also on another note, this year started with about 1050 toys, and we're now up to about.. oh wait, exactly 1337 toys. Hooray!
Im going to sleep now, ill finish tommorow.
