By Merry Elf Elfson

The No. 1 most important message from Santa and Merry Elf Elfson is no matter where you are, Santa will find you.

If you’re at grandma and grandpa’s or take a vacation or maybe you are sick in the hospital, Santa can find you no matter where you are. Always remember that.

Santa loves to send me to this part of the world because he knows how many friends I have here that I love to see. I like spreading Christmas cheer and a little elf magic as well.

It’s especially fun to go to the Ronald McDonald House next door in Rochester, Minnesota. I will get to have my favorite elf party and play elf games. I like to see the children’s smiling faces as I show off a little of my elf magic.

Some people have never seen a skiing elf before. When Santa comes down to Austin’s Christmas in the City, I love to ski alongside him, but if there’s not enough snow I put on my elf skies on wheels so I can ski just about anywhere I want. Snow or no snow, I’m ready to go.

Up at the North Pole Santa lets me help test some of my favorite toys, like skiis, snowboards and the new fun one — new snowboard splitboards are especially fun.

He never lets any of the elves test or play with fun toys without their helmet. Santa is always promoting helmet safety and overall safety. Santa counts on all his elves for help spreading the word for him.

When I go to Austin’s schools I like to remind them to help around the house with the busy times and always say please and thank you.

Everyone has a little elf magic in them if they just take the time to find it. Santa and Mrs. Clause and I have been gearing up for our adventures this year and all the fun activities surrounding Austin’s Christmas in the City on Nov. 23.

I hope to see you all there.

Don’t forget to get the winter coat out along with your hat, scarf, mittens and your winter boots. I can’t wait to see everybody in Austin. I can’t wait, I am so excited to come down with Santa. I missed you all.

We have been busy making all the toys and the reindeer have been working out very hard, pulling the sleigh and practicing for the big night on Christmas Eve.

This is a very, very busy time of year for everyone at the North Pole. So exciting.

I, Merry Elf Elfson, the elves, Santa and Mrs. Clause, Rudolph and all the reindeer wants to wish you a very Merry Christmas. We’re looking forward to seeing you soon. Love from the North Pole.

Remember to be good so you can be on the good list and always remember there’s a little elf magic in all of us if you just take the time to find it.
