Christmas elves are great helpers. They make great toys. But did you ever wonder why the elves help me make toys for all the good girls and boys?
Many, many years ago, Mrs. Claus and I went to the North Pole. We saw a bunch of elves there. The elves were very cold and very hungry. But they were very afraid of us. The elves were afraid because people had been mean to them.
Every time we got close, the elves ran away. But one elf did not run away quite so fast. Maybe it was because he knew we would not hurt him. Or, maybe it was just because he kept slipping and falling in the snow. (Can you guess his name?)
Well, one time, Clumsy the Elf got stuck in the snow when the other elves ran away. He was very hungry, very cold, and very afraid of us. Mrs. Claus had some of her famous gingerbread with her. She gave him some. She also gave him some hot chocolate. I put my coat around him to keep him warm.
The elves’ Christmas Spirit
Soon the other elves came closer. We gave them food too. The elves were still very cold. So Mrs. Claus made them some gingerbread houses to live in. We still have one of the very first ones (you can see it in the picture).
The elves did not know why we made the gingerbread houses for them. “Mr. Santa Claus, other people were mean to us. But you are kind. You gave us food and warm houses. Why did you do that?” they asked. So I told them all about the Christmas Spirit.
The elves did not understand about the Christmas Spirit at first. So, I showed them how to make toys to give to good girls and boys. When they saw how happy it made the girls and boys, that was when the elves understood. They understood it was better to give than to get.
The elves are still very afraid of people. They hide as soon as a person is near. But they have been making toys for me ever since!
Merry Christmas!
Santa Claus
P.S. Do you think the elves make good toys? Do you think it is better to give than receive? (You can leave a message here. Or, scroll down to see what others have written!)
A right jolly old elf, in spite of myself. I love Christmas, children, the North Pole, Mrs. Claus, elves, reindeer, snowmen & the list goes on!

Merry Christmas!
were you at my party when i was at Normans house my dad. because i know if pepole are lucy we might see the real you.
The elves make great toys. And it does feel good to receive but it feels better to give.
I like to give presents to people because it makes me feel good about myself.
It’s rather just give and not receive them to give and receive in return. The whole term of it is that by giving I’m showing my spirit side and by heartness. When, when you give and want to receive your just showing your hearted side. I just have a thing for giving and not wanting to receive. In the end all I want is warmness in my soul and spirit. And know that my deeds do a greatness in the world. Nothing more.

Dear Santa, I never knew how you got the elves, but now that I know I respect you even more. I hope Clumsy is well. I like his name because it reminds me of how I”M so clumsy!

Dear Santa,
I think the Elves are a humungous part of that magical feeling you get on the 25th. You and Mrs. Claus have so much love and care in you and it is very amazing how hard everyone tries at the North Pole.
Love,
Dina

I think the elves make the best toys in the whole universe! Now I know it is better to give than receive because it makes others happy, and I want to make the world a better place by making others happy! See you later!
Dear Santa..I do think it is better to give than to receive.
Poor clumsy, falling down in the snow. It seems very nice for you to give them food and shelter and hot cocoa.
Hope you have a MERRY CHRISTMAS, Santa…Mrs.Claus and all the elves and reindeer too!!
Oh..look at the time!! It’s only FIFTEEN MORE DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS!!! I’m being good!

I think the elves make wonderful toys. Everyyear when I get the toys theres always a big smile on my face. Also I do think it’s better to give than recive because it’s genouris(nice).
I love the toys you give me every year. I hope the elves and you and Mrs. Claus love reading my letters and love making toys for other children. I love seeing all the presents and opening them up and finding something that I really really wanted. So keep up the good work.
I love the elves! and i love you too Santa!
I like what you little elves wrote. XOXO
I love EVERYONE AT THE NORTH POLE. I’M 9 YEARS OLD AND I STILL BELIVE IN YOU!!!! YA’LL ARE ALL SO COOL!!
dear Santa.
I think this was a very cute story.
I think it’s so cool how the elves do that! And I also think it’s cool how they live in gingerbread houses, and I wish there was a big version so that I could live in one! 😛
why do people be mean it is horrible and nasty two lilttle elfs like them no wonder their scared off us santa claus i am not plaming you on anything so dont think i am ok santa and mrs claus ok bye for now merry cherismas to you alll .
The elves are the best toy makers ever.It feels really god to give others presents and make them happy.
PS: I will leave a candy cane out for Clumbsy on christmas eve. Can you give it to him please?
I do think it is better to give than receive. I never knew all of these things about the north pole.I think I will read Santa’s blog a bit more often
I love you santa and thanks for all you do and i know its a hard job to help us but thanks thanks thanks and were on or best behavior so thanks and i loved our letters
hi santa iam 17 but i stiill believe in you i watch all the christmashows how many elfs do u have love u
I think they make AWESOME presents. I guess i have to say I like recieving all though I like planning gifts for my parents, sisters, and you! Oops…I almost forgot this year I might even get the elves and the reindeer one this year too!
Please tell the elves that they don’t need to be scared of the nice kids, and adults. Tell them that they do a great job making toys. I would love to meet an elve but I will never be able to. Unless you wake me up at night to show me one.
Dear Santa u ok merry chistmas love u jess
I think the Elves make great toys and its very good to give presents…xxxxxx
I bet you they’ve got more of spirit then presents;}
santa i love you so muck can u show me a picture of an elf its okay if u cant and remember i no you are real
I think it is good to recive and give as well
Hi Santa nice metting you. You are my biggest hero and thank you.
I think it is good that the elves make toys for us and good boys and girls soon they sure recive the best present they will ever wish for.
I also think that it is good to give than to get but sometimes i think that is my turn to recieve something nice or something as a reward so yeah.
I wish all people would be kind and caring but unfortunetly they are not so.
I love the elves as much as i love you thank you so much santa.
Merry Christmasxxxxxxxx
I love that at the age of 20 i still believe in you! You where always there for xmas i have always left milk and cookies 4 u since i was little and still do
Yes I think it is much better to give than recieve,although it is nice to get things.
Dear,Santa
So you have been working with the elves for along time.Santa can you deliver our house a lot of ginger bread to our house
Hello Santa. I love Christmas, and all the presents I get. Thank you for the ones from you.
It is better to give! because recieving is someone else showing there love and afection towords you.but to give is showing how much you care for them love them and apershaiet things people give you or you will never feel the christmas.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
sincerly,savannah
HAPPY CHRISTMAS FROM SEAN-PAUL
On tv there was a poem about christmas :
Christmas isnt about the gifts, trees and lights all aglow.
Its about the love and care that we show.
Merry christmas (only 15 more days!)
