The Elves: The backbone of the North Pole

Nothing gave my Great-Uncle Ralph more pleasure in his Santa Claus story telling than talking about the elves. I believe that on his business trips he would drive down the road thinking about names of the elves that he could incorporate into his beloved stories.
Thus, names like Left Turn Tom, Right Turn Charlie, Speed on Ahead and Keep off the Grass were born. You have to admit they are original names. Of course I'm sure there were elves like Patch, Spirit, Muffin, Twinkle and Dimples. But those names seemed a bit too fairy taleish. My uncle was inventive and didn't want to be outdone. No where have I seen elves' names like my uncle came up with.
I think his all-time favorite, though, was Saddle Soap Sadie. Her main function as an elf was to spy on the children and adults of the world to determine if they were "naughty or nice." Now Saddle Soap Sadie wasn't exactly mean, but at the same time, she took her job very seriously. If she saw a naughty act, she would report it. Many times, the three of us would be acting up and all Uncle Ralph had to do was say, "Is that Saddle Soap Sadie around the corner?" Instant reform.
But my three favorite elves were always Joe Blo, Mac and Pee Wee. Joe Blo and Mac were the hardest working and oldest elves at the North Pole. They rarely saw the light of day because their function was to work the world-famous Milk Chocolate Mine. You have never heard of the Milk Chocolate Mine? Where do you think the chocolate candy for the stockings came from? You think it just magically appeared? I will spend an entire article talking about the famous mine later.
Pee Wee may be small in stature, but he is a giant among the elves. He is Santa's right-hand elf, the master of all elves and the elf that keeps the North Pole operation going year-round. Pee Wee also is the only elf ever to go with Santa on his Christmas Eve. Who else is going to keep the list of who gets what in which country?
And since imagination plays a huge part in Christmas, it doesn't really matter what the elves wear, does it? But in my mind, they of course wear colorful red and greed outfits with striped pointed hats. They always have rosy cheeks - just like Santa - and have Christmas on their minds 24/7.
The elves are very underrated and misunderstood. Just suffice it to say that without the dedication and the loyalty of the elves, Christmas would be dismal. The Spirit of Christmas evolves from Santa to the elves. Think of the happiest place on earth and there will be the elves - the true spirit of Christmas.
