Most humans spend their lives under the mistaken impression that the only job available for a North Pole elf is making toys. This is patently incorrect, but since the North Pole is a magical world accessible only by a portal guarded by animatronic polar bears, very few humans will ever find this out. In the North Pole, all the elves are hard at work making Christmas happen, in all sorts of different ways. Some make toys, yes, but others work in the post office, or at the North Pole Library. Usually, things run like a well-oiled polar bear. Other times, though… From shenanigans in the Library, to doll-making disasters, to even a few trips down to the human world, these five fun, festive short stories document what happens when Christmas isn't running quite to plan.
