Christmas elves
Santa's little workers
Christmas elves are mythical small beings who work in Santa Claus's workshop, making toys and helping prepare for Christmas Eve.
They appear in holiday decorations, stories, and films as cheerful, pointy-eared figures in festive attire.
The concept developed in American popular culture during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries: The kids left cookies for Santa and his elves.
