ELF

It's not even December yet and Nick is waiting for the elf. Our elf, to be exact,  the one that showed up out of nowhere last year and caused a storm of good tidings and beautiful behavior in the weeks before Christmas. Talk about a Christmas miracle right there. I too am waiting for that elf to come and whip these little animals back into shape. Please come soon, little elf......

This letter was found near the fireplace, waiting for pick up. According to one of our Christmas books, letters to Santa need to be left by the fireplace where they will magically be swooped up the chimney and carried by the winds to the North Pole. We have tried it several times and although it generally takes a few days for the letter to leave, it has worked every time.
