Thumbs Down: Forgetting the Elves

Christmas time is right around the corner and that’s great, but society has a lot of apologizing to do.

Santa this and Santa that, but how about some love for the elves? Sure it takes some work to read the letters, but how about making all those toys? In the current times, people have to understand how much work they have to do: building X-Box 360’s, packaging Mac Book Pros while still creating the cherished gifts of yore in wooden horses and toy cars. If Santa tried doing these things, he would probably just eat a cookie instead. It seems that people today simply do not appreciate the little guys; I, for one, think its time to raise awareness for something that truly matters.

Don’t worry elves, there are still at least two guys out here who appreciate your work. Keep pushing on and hopefully, one day, you will have the fame you truly deserve.
