Fourteen days, four hours, and exactly forty-one minutes till Santa will be traveling around the world making everyone’s next morning full of joy. As I am aware, this is an exciting time year for elves. Many create the toys that will be unwrapped while others have the great pleasure of baking cookies, taking care of Santa’s reindeer, and of course the hardest job of all, working to read different letters from various of children around the world. Figuring that you are currently reading my letter, I know that you probably have piles of letter embroidered with name of the place all kids think about: to the north pole. Inside most of these letters, I know from writing a few myself, that many kids are asking the either one of two questions: “I’m I on the naughty list” or in other letters there are variations of “May I pretty please with a cherry on top get ____ for christmas”. However, today I am not writing about these main topics, I am writing you this to you in hopes that I can be enlightened of the magic of passion and creativity that you are so lucky to be surrounded by everyday. Moreover, you may be pondering this and wonder why I would be asking for a request such as this.

So, my current intention throughout the rest of this letter to show you something new

The film Elf (Berg et al., 2003) follows the adventures of Buddy, a human adopted into Elf culture, as he journeys from the North Pole to find his human father in New York City. As an orphan waiting to be adopted, Buddy was accidentally taken to the North Pole in Santa’s sack. Buddy grew up immersed in the Elf culture and way of life, and was not told of his human origins until he was well into adulthood. Upon learning this, Buddy travels to New York City to find his birth father Walter, a grinch-like publisher at a children’s book company. Unwelcomed by his father, Buddy befriends Walter’s son Michael and begins to make a life in New York, dating a shy, Elf-portraying department store employee named Jovie.

Santa Claus must exist. How else would you describe this change in the way humans interact during these otherwise dreary winter months? Santa Claus is the catalyst of human goodness, sparking within us a genuine care for our neighbor, bringing us together for this wonderful season. Think of a world without Santa Claus!

Influence is the capacity or power of persons to produce an effect on the actions of others. Victor Flemming, the director of the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, depicts a message that revolves around the reversal of power and gender roles. Moreover, Dorothy is a child in her physical presence but lives the role of a hero as she leads the scarecrow, lion, and tin man to the Wizard himself. Through the archetypes such as the hero being a women, Cultural values, and the stages of the journey, Flemming raises the argument that in this case those who don 't have much influence in society are very influential in the Emerald City.

Santa Claus is the one thing children believe in unfailingly. I mean, the exact gifts they want for Christmas always appear under the tree overnight, and for a child the only explanation is magic. But in today’s world of over parenting, the

Santa, he is who I believe in. Not literally but the disillusion attached to him. He is a mythical being who little kids believe in because their parents haven’t told them not to, rather they encouraged it. Then again, why wouldn’t you want to? He brings you your biggest toy obsession of the year, works with elves, and has flying reindeer. Seems pretty magical right? So why does it all seems so silly now? When you look back , can you remember how devastated you were at the age of 7 or 8 when you found out that the man who you put out cookies and milk for, and who you wrote Dear Santa letters to wasn’t real? At the time it was the biggest catastrophe of your little life. As you get older, you realize that other aspects of the world and it’s

Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas, and Chris Kringle are names associated with the most well-known figure among all children as Santa Claus. Currently, Santa lives in the North Pole with his wife Mrs. Claus, reindeer, and his elves who create toys to give to all of the nice children. For many, the act of making and delivering presents to all the little boys and girls of the world may appear magical to children and adults but there is evidence proving that it is all smoke and mirrors. In fact, devising a trip, delivering the presents, and the eating of cookies can be explained by science and physics.

I tried to avoid all things Elf on a Shelf, until my daughter started kindergarten and her teacher read them the Elf on a Shelf book and brought an elf into their classroom. The influence that this classroom elf had on my daughter was clearly strong and she often would mention it to me. Along with the frequent mentioning from my daughter I also saw many friends positing on social media of all the fun, creative ways they introduced their elves to their family and the daily picture post of what and where their elf was each day. I eventually gave in and we adopted an elf of our own.

One of the modern mythological people is Santa. The Santa Clause story stretches all the way back to the 3rd century. The legend can be traced back to hundreds of years to a monk named St. Nicholas. It is believed that Nichola was born sometime around 280 A.D. in Patara, near Myra in modern day Turkey. Nicholas became the subject of many later told legends. It is said that St. Nicholas gave away all of his inherited wealth and traveled the countryside helping out the poor and the sick. One of St. Nicholas’s best story is that he saved three poor sisters from being sold into slavery or prostitution by their
