Santa’s Elves

Another quirky little game that Mom would play with us as a kid was Santa’s Elves. I’m not sure if it started because Mom just couldn’t wait to give us gifts for Christmas or if it was something that she experienced when she was a child.

Ten days before Christmas we would start watching our stockings every morning. Some days we’d find little gifts in it. Mom always explained it as Santa’s elves coming early to give us little trinkets like coloring books, gimmick pencils, small games and candy. She did this as long as I can remember and even when we were adults and came to visit for Christmas she’d say that since Santa doesn’t visit anymore the elves still come by.

I don’t think any of us questioned why the elves would have time to come around to our house when there were just days till the biggest night of Santa’s year. Oh well.
