I cannot believe how popular these things are; I think some of my relatives are only creative when they can conjure up a situation for this skinny santa! I refuse to have one; Buddy would eat it.

I'm sure he would. That would be the end of the elf at your house. But, Buddy would enjoy it.

I have an elf who’s sitting on a shelf - Who was sad and lonely sat by himself - So I got a girl friend in - Who's libido was ragin' - Now there’s a shelf full of little wee elfs…… Belle
