This Holiday, Discover Your Inner Elf
There are only 3 jobs available to an elf.
The first is making shoes at night, while the old cobbler sleeps.
You can bake cookies in a tree.
As you can imagine, it's dangerous, having an oven in an oak tree during the dry season.
But the third job, some call it "The Show", or "The Big Dance",
It's the profession that every elf aspires to, and that is to build toys in Santa's workshop.
It's a job only an elf can do.
Our nimble fingers, natural cheer and active minds, are perfect for toy-building.

The Code of The Elves.
1. Treat everyday like Christmas.
2. There's room for everyone on the nice list.
3. The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.
Buddy: Santa's sleigh.
Papa Elf: You're gonna help me make it fly.
Buddy: I thought the magical reindeer made the sleighs fly.
Papa Elf: And where do the reindeer get their magic from?
Buddy: Christmas spirit, everybody knows that.
Papa Elf: Well, silly as it sounds, a lot of people down south don't believe in Santa Claus.
Buddy: What?!
Who do they think puts all their toys under the tree?
Papa Elf: Well, there's a rumor floating around that the parents do it.
Buddy: That's ridiculous.
I mean, parents couldn't do that all in one night.
What about Santa cookies? I suppose parents eat them, too?
Papa Elf: Yeah, I know.
And every year less and less people believe in Santa Claus.
We have a real energy crisis on our hands.
You're not a cotton-headed ninny-muggings.
You're just special.

Santa: Buddy, your father... well, he's on the naughty list.
Buddy: No!
Santa: Listen, some people, they just lose sight of what's important in life.
That doesn't mean they can't find their way again, huh?
Maybe all they need is just a little Christmas spirit.
Jovie: I'm just trying to get through the holidays.
Buddy: Get through?
Christmas is the greatest day in the whole wide world!
Buddy: I wish Dad were here.
Michael: Why?
Buddy: Cause he's the greatest Dad in the whole wide world.
Michael: Are you kidding? He's the worst Dad in the world.
Buddy: What do you mean?
Michael: All he does is work.
Buddy: Working's fun.
Michael: Not the way he does it.
All he cares about is money.
He doesn't care about you, or me, or anybody.
Buddy: Well, he is on the naughty list.
Buddy: I'm not an elf, Santa, I can't do anything right.
Santa: Buddy, you're more of an elf than anyone I ever met.
Michael: What happened?
Santa: You made my sleigh fly.
Michael: What do you mean?
Santa: Well, before the turbine days, this baby used to run solely on Christmas spirit.
You believed in me. You made my sleigh fly.
Michael: Hold it.
If you're really Santa Claus, then we can just get some news cameras in here,
and everyone will believe in you, then your sleigh will fly, right?
Santa: Christmas spirit is about believing, not seeing.
If the whole world saw me, all would be lost.
The paparazzi have been trying to nail me for years.
