Ok, by now I'm sure most of you have heard the many stories about the magic elves that have mysteriously appeared in our town just in time for the holiday season. They arrive and sometimes they are a mess, but all in all, what they do is all in the name of love and fun. Right before Christmas break, we found out that they can have a condition called Elf-excitis. This is what happens when they get so excited around the holidays, looking forward to parties and going back home with Santa, that they can sometimes lose their heads! Luckily there is an elf doctor that lives at the edge of town and can nurse them right back to health in almost an instant!
For those of you unaware of how this all works, the kids write a letter to Santa asking if they can adopt an elf, who is much deserving of a break during the holiday season. The elf comes to love and play with its' new adopted family. The elf returns to the North Pole with Santa on Christmas Eve, and returns the next year to the same family. Our elf's name is Chandler. He has a great sense of humor and loves animals, hippy chips, and root beer. Don't get me wrong, he still loves water and crackers, but prefers yummy snacks. He made quite a few snow trails wherever he went so he wouldn't get lost while he was here, and always included the animals that were around him in everything he did. We'll miss the little guy and look forward to spending time with him next year!
