Santa is Happy
Every year the staff at the North Pole have their company photo day. This is where a picture of each employee is taken for their company I.D. cards and other official documents; there are a lot of elves and more working for Santa, so this is a rather important day. The pictures are also framed and displayed in a gallery like fashion around the company buildings.
Unlike when We have our photos taken for I.D. cards, Santa and the photographers encourage everyone to smile when they are having their pictures taken; it just wouldn't be merry otherwise. Santa and the reindeer were first to have their photos and Santa gave his most genuine smile.
Of course, despite the photos being taken, work must go on so the elves are taken in alphabetical batches. Elle would be a part of the fifth group to have their photos taken. Today she was particularly busy in the workshop making toys and was keen to keep herself looking at her best. Elle specialises in making toys, it's her favourite job- most days. Today she had hoped to be doing some less practical work, she didn't want to risk having a bad photo for a year.
Working close with Elle was Eldon, the stout elf. Practical work is Eldon's forte, he's not a very bright elf. The thought of having his photo taken had made Eldon easily excitable, to the point of which his work was starting to get a little sloppy. Eldon's responsibility today was to be one of the elves who was gluing pieces together. Elle was on quality control and found herself having to discard Eldon's efforts several times.
Elle decided after a few checks it was time to take matters into her own hands. She approached Eldon and was surprised at the sight of him. He was poorly gluing toys in a trigger happy fashion and getting glue all over his working space, including a large patch on his face! 'Eldon, I think you need to calm down?' Eldon turned his attention to Elle, Eldon likes Elle very much.
'Hey Elle!' Eldon started as he got up from his workspace. He wrapped his arm around Elle and leaned against her, attempting to come across as smooth. 'What brings you over here then?' he asked with raised eyebrows. Elle felt something sticky on the side of her face, and realised what Eldon had been doing.
'Eldon you've done glued my face!' she blurted out. Eldon realised his mistake and the two of them immediately tried to separate their heads from each other. Unfortunately, due to high traffic, the glue they used was very quick to stick, so Elle and Eldon were fused together until someone could have them separated using tools.
Poor Eldon, he was awfully sorry about the mishap, but still smiled for the photographs, which now there are two of the both of them sat together. For sometime afterwards Elle felt down about the photo situation, but knew Eldon had meant no harm. In fact, Eldon even arranged a private photography session for Elle to replace the photo! Elle was touched by the gesture and now the pair of them are the best of friends.
