Elves

Every year about this time I start to think about Santa's elves.  I usually feel quite elvish when I'm wrapping the gifts.  Which I did today.  For hours.  And I'm not even finished.  Still have to do the neighbor-remembrances.  And a couple things still have to be purchased (but those elves don't have to do that - purchase things - do they?)

And the funny thing is, I imagine the elves as being quite jolly, bouncing all around, maybe singing, as they accomplish those elf tasks.

I tried to be jolly.  Mostly just ended up being tired.  The elves forgot to share their "bounce" with me.  Maybe next year.
