Santa’s Little Helpers The Elves Make The Nice List Every Year


Santa’s elves live in world of magic, toys, and tasty treats. Everything that an elf could ever need can be found at the North Pole. All of Santa’s elves help him with toys, letters and treats.

Everyone knows that the elves help Santa to make all of the toys that he delivers on Christmas Eve. An elf can have a toy made in the same amount of time it takes you or me to snap our fingers twice. So as you can see elves can make toys super fast. An elf’s greatest joy is knowing that on Christmas morning a child will find a gift from Santa that was made by him.

Toys aren’t the only job that the elves help out with at the North Pole. They can write just as fast as they can make toys. Some elves get to help answer all of the Children’s letters to Santa. They even make the paper and envelopes that Santa uses. Beside Santa’s giant shiny red and green mailbox is the stamp maker that the elves invented. It makes special stamps that make sure each letter finds its way safely to the right boy and girl it was intended for.

Elves help Santa with his nice list by reporting both naughty and nice behavior to Santa. Parents or a teacher who needs to get a message to Santa will sometimes have a conversion about it with an elf. At the end of each day the elves have to roll Santa’s long nice and naught lists back up and place them in their special golden box.

The kitchen at the North Pole is enormous. Long before you make it to the door of the home the frigid Northern air is filled with the warm smells of cinnamon and sugar.  Mrs. Claus teaches her helper elves all of her secret recipes, like Santa’s chocolate chip cookies, Picture perfect gingerbread houses, and even magical reindeer food.  The elves love wrapping the candy in colored cellophane and foil.

Santa’s stable also gets help from the elves. They take care of the reindeer for Santa by feeding them and making sure that their stables stay warm. Santa’s sleigh must be polished so that it will gleam like a comet in the Christmas sky. In early December the bells worn by the reindeer must be tested to be sure they ring true.

All of the twinkling lights that light up the North Pole must be checked every now and then. Every year right before Christmas the elves come up with a new light display. Lights cover almost everything that doesn’t move at the North Pole. It really is an amazing sight to see.

This year I will be leaving these hard working little guys a special treat out for Santa Claus to take back home with him. They’ve certainly made my nice list!
