And the Elf-Maker jumped on board the sleigh but Santa stopped him. And Santa said you got to take it easy Son. These reindeers are 600 years old. Let me take you around and meet them. And he introduced them to him and Santa said you got to let them lick your hand to know you are friendly. And the Elf-Maker asked if he could go wash his hands. But Santa said that is the magic just brush it off and let's go. And the elves said But the Head Elf is disappear and gone somewhere. And Santa and the elves looked everywhere. And the Elf-Maker said This Christmas tree was never here before. And his son said Dad looked it's an elf at the top. And the Elf-Maker bowed his head and held hands with his son for the last time. And he told him that he would be back every Christmas and that he will get his inheritance early. And his son said Go Dad I love you and save Christmas. And Santa gave his presents to the Town of Ginsburg early. Then they finally left after Santa pronounced that the Elf-Maker is the new Head Elf. And Christmas Island asked for him to stay so they stay a little too long and time was running out but Christmas was gonna be saved one day. And his wife told him to hurry and save the other towns around the world. And she said that finally I get the house to myself. And I will send your things in the mail. And so the new Head Elf gathered himself with Santa Claus and the elves and the reindeers and they fly. They first were off to a rough start but the town people helped push the sleigh as they sung Jingo Bells. And Santa Claus felt it was not enough he stood up and finally the sleigh moved. And the elves were joyful and repeating the song and said they will always love and visit Christmas Island. And the reindeers riped it in the air created a fog but lucky Santa had magic air freshner. And he told the riders that it is safe. I always bring extra spray just in case that happen. Well they are 600 years old. And they don't make them like they used to. And the new Head Elf was screaming because he was traumtized by the flight and said that he may be a little scared of heights. But Santa put a sock in his mouth magically and kept moving. And the elves lowered their hearing aid for less of a shock reaction. And when Santa returned after a long journey, the elves were almost ready. And Santa wondered how and they said that the last Head Elf used the old system of doing things and when he left they updated it where they had extra time since he was away that they recouperated their efforts. And the most important benefit was rest and the new Head Elf said I came all this way for nothing. What a jip? These elves are amazing, miraculous and wonderful. And they said Thank you new Head Elf. We appreciate that man. You really really know how to cheer people up. Wow. And Santa said okay but you are the Head Elf now finished the job and be inspirational. And the Head Elf said We will rise to the top. We will see Christmas now tomorrow even today. And we will never let nothing stop us. I believe in everyone of you and I hope you believe in me. Christmas is our love, our hope, and our joy. So let's get rolling. And the elves applauded. And within the weeks, they were ready. And Santa's sleighs were prepared. He had a different one for each country becacuse he has to blaze and he has to cruise in style plus that's why he has so many names. And the Head Elf got to wish good luck to Santa as his beard grew long within those weeks and he enjoy the pajamas outfits of the elves. He thought they were better than real clothing and belts and all. And Santa Claus restored and saved Christmas.
