Hmm...sounds oddly like a review I once got after an interview for a job at a hospital.
That aside, I thought this was a fun little story where you managed to capture the essence of the holiday season especially with how 'complicated' getting those presents out can be, and just how hard those little elves work at this time of the year!
Let's hope Santa and Mrs. Claus treats them to more than just delicious hot cocoa.
Oh, and nice touch letting the Missus be in charge of the new recruits.
This was brilliant! Full of festive spirit and whimsy and just the right touch of humor. I especially enjoyed Mrs. Claus being the judge for the auditions. It’s quite fun to imagine Mrs. Claus’ eyes beaming up at the aspiring elves from over her clipboard which has carefully written notes on each elf’s performance—and a new cookie recipe that came to her partway through the trials! Great job!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who messes up on syllable count. I still do and have not overcome that yet. Is it just me or the birthday event is surrounding us with this warm fuzzy feeling all over? Group hug!
I've been having melt downs lately, I guess the grief of Dad's death is hitting.
The biggest blessing has been the number of people who have immediately understood and supported me.
Like for instance, I wasn't able to fill out a form today (in spite of enlarge photocopying it) and got upset. (For those who don't yet know, my eyesight is weak.)
Immediately, my neighbour came over and filled it out for me. What a blessing.
Then, on Jan 31, there was a lecture hosted by an advertising agency I worked for 30 years ago. I was iffy about whether I'd attend or not, because of these melt downs. Two friends urged me to do so, and I did.
It was a lovely evening. The lecture itself was great and the warmth of the people around -- including the owners of the agency who remember me and asked about my pursuits -- made me feel all fuzzy.
