The Code of the Elves

ohbygolly:

From the movie “Elf”:

“Let’s recite the “Code of the Elves”, shall we?

1. Treat everyday like Christmas.

2. There’s room for everybody on the nice list.

3. The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singling loud for all to hear.”

I feel it necessary, based on my elfish experience, to make some adjustments to the code.

  1. Do not treat everyday like Christmas. Can you imagine how much fatter and broker our country would be if we did? Instead, how about “Be nice to everybody even on days that aren’t Christmas.”
  2. There’s room for almost everybody on the nice list. Note that the operative word here is ‘almost’. I think we can all agree that Jerry Sandusky will not make the list this year.
  3. I agree that singing loud for all to hear probably is the best way to spread Christmas cheer. But sending Christmas cards featuring your distraught child wriggling off of Santa’s lap is a close second.
