NAUGHTY & NICE LIST ADMINISTRATOR ELF


The Naughty & Nice List Administrator Elf


This is one of Santa's most important and powerful elves. You don't want to get on his bad side. He controls who is placed on the naughty or nice list and decides if anyone is moved from one list to the other.
If there is any elf you need to impress with your goodness, it is this one!

GREENHOUSE GAS ELF


The Greenhouse Gas Elf


This elf is in charge of checking
reindeer emissions and adjusting
their diet so that they do not leave
an unfavorable effect on "global

Does this elf enjoy his job?
His expression tells it all.

"MA-MA" DOLL FOREMAN ELF


The "Ma-Ma" Doll Foreman Elf

You can tell that this tronie is the "Ma-Ma" Doll Foreman. His face shows that things have not gone well for him for the past several decades.
Things really started to turn sour for the this elf last year when the Baby Spit-up Doll Foreman was given his work space in the main work shop building.
Now, this year Santa informed him that the hot shot kid that is the iPhone Foreman will be taking over his most recent work space in the main building and the "Ma-Ma" Doll Foreman has been assigned a temporary work space in the old reindeer barn where most of the out of date toys are now produced on a limited production schedule.


The "Ma-Ma" Doll Foreman complained to Santa and Santa suggested that he consider being re-trained to fill a position that needed to be filled in the Baby Spit-up section, testing the spit up mechanisms for each doll.
Ah, such is progress. Out with the old, in with the new.

i-PHONE FORMAN ELF

The Hot Shot kid iPhone Foreman
This is a new position created this year when Santa learned that Rush Limbaugh had an iPhone before the release date. Santa is expecting a flood of iPhone requests from Republican states.

CLERGY GIFT REGULATOR ELF


The Clergy Gift Regulator Elf
This too is a new position created this year. The Clergy Gift Regulator insures that all clergy gifts are appropriate and are in good taste.
This elf's job was created after someone maliciously arranged for Santa to put a Whoopee Cushion under the tree of the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church.

2010 CARVED ELF TRONIES



This year my work shop will have lots of elves in it to keep me company. My 2010 Christmas carvings will feature carved elf tronies that will represent the various elves in charge of Santa's toy and gift production complex.

Here are three of the first tronies that have been carved.
