25 Santa Expressions | Day 12

Santa says WTF?


The life of a working person isn't always as dull as one might believe. For example, there are companies that every so often throw office parties. Well at the North Pole, Santa's elves get to throw parties, believe it or not. Ever year just after Christmas, everyone gets the chance to celebrate before taking a short holiday and they do so with the party event that got the nickname, 'Christmas Cracker'.

For Santa, he doesn't really consider this a break, more so a present to the elves. Santa spends this celebration going around and watching the elves, happy to see them all enjoying the celebration. Now Santa is an elderly man and has seen many things in his time, so little surprises or disturbs him. However this year, he did find himself rather disturbed.

There were a group of elves cheering and dancing, that seemed normal. There was one who had passed out, wearing a hat that other elves had written on, this sort of thing Santa had seen before. But then he saw Elle, who Santa expected to be doing something, but not to the scale of which she was. Santa had originally approached this group from hearing not only the cheers but some rather questionable singing.

'Santa baby, and fill my stocking with a duplex and checks.' sang the voice. The voice turned out to be Elle who was thrown into the air by some of the elves. Elle was holding what must have been yet another drink for her, wearing a fake moustache, Santa hat and no top! Santa hadn't seen anything like this on his estate since the year two thousand, and was speechless.

Santa slipped away before the rather intoxicated Elle noticed him. Although he could have sworn Elle called out his name at some point, it turned out she was actually talking to a rather stout elf, not that she knew it! Luckily the worst that happened regarding Elle that night was a series of poorly sung Christmas songs and a lack of care as to where her top had vanished to.

Santa decided not to bring up any of Elle's escapades in the aftermath of the Christmas Cracker, what goes on during this celebration, almost always stays within the celebration. Although Eldon, the stout elf, certainly remembered Elle and struggled to ignore her. Elle doesn't have a clue why, nor why for some time afterwards Santa struggled to pay attention to Elle. Santa still hasn't spoken about what he saw, I should hate to see how he copes after our human parties!
