How the Brownies Saved Christmas ©

Paul Ray Childers
At the cold North Pole where Santa Claus dwells there live some very, very special little Elves.
They’re not the ones that you may know.
These elves are called Brownies, so I am told.
Each one has his own special job and name and treats his work like it was a really fun game.
Yuley is the chief, Brownie number one.
He makes sure that all the jobs get properly done.
Uh-oh checks all of their work for mistakes, that any one of the Brownies accidently makes.
Laylow checks beneath Santa’s big sleigh, to see that there is nothing that gets in its way.
Early makes sure that the Brownies don’t over sleep, so all of their jobs they may get to keep.
Tester checks out Santa’s sleigh and all its

Santa leaped from his sleigh laughing and shouting, “Ho! Ho! Ho!
It’s much quicker landing that way than on snow!”
Santa and the Brownies went all over the world that Christmas Eve night, at a time when there wasn’t a snowflake in sight!
So if anyone asks you, now you know how Santa gets his sleigh to places that have no snow.
So if you live in a place where snow never comes down, don’t let your face get caught with a frown.
The Brownies will help Santa get his sleigh full of presents to you.
That is, if you’ve been good. Now, that’s true!
And when you leave treats for Santa to put in his mouth, be sure not to leave the Brownies without.
Set out cakes, chips and cookies, and set out a bunch!
‘Cause they don’t have time to have dinner or lunch.
Leave them something to drink, too, like milk, punch or pop.
This will help them to work without having to stop.
It takes much strength to do what they do to help Santa get presents to me and to you!
So, Merry Christmas to all people, and Brownies and Elves, and to all those who think more of others than they do of themselves.
“Merry Christmas,” from all the Brownies, who asked me to say,
“Let Christmas live in your hearts every day!”

Fourteen days, four hours, and exactly forty-one minutes till Santa will be traveling around the world making everyone’s next morning full of joy. As I am aware, this is an exciting time year for elves. Many create the toys that will be unwrapped while others have the great pleasure of baking cookies, taking care of Santa’s reindeer, and of course the hardest job of all, working to read different letters from various of children around the world. Figuring that you are currently reading my letter, I know that you probably have piles of letter embroidered with name of the place all kids think about: to the north pole. Inside most of these letters, I know from writing a few myself, that many kids are asking the either one of two questions: “I’m I on the naughty list” or in other letters there are variations of “May I pretty please with a cherry on top get ____ for christmas”. However, today I am not writing about these main topics, I am writing you this to you in hopes that I can be enlightened of the magic of passion and creativity that you are so lucky to be surrounded by everyday. Moreover, you may be pondering this and wonder why I would be asking for a request such as this. I have just finished a semester of a passions within a creativity class and was hoping to share with you what I learned and hope to hear what your perspective may be. So, my current intention throughout the rest of this letter to show you something new
Anyway, it's easy to assume that pretending to be Santa may seem like a simple job; but there is reason behind why thousands of theses "aged sugar-plums" wear the suit each year. Not to accommodate the hundreds
Santa: (Chuckling) Hohoho. Not going to give you a bonus? Well, come to think of it maybe he’s right you don’t deserve a bonus. But, you know who does? (Calling out the window) Dasher and Dancer! Come here boys! (Looking back at snowflake) I was running a bit low on reindeer food thank you. (leaves room and locks Snowflake in with reindeer. Screams can be heard)
By now, the elves are wrapping the toys. The reindeers are running test flights. Santa is busy double-checking Xmas lists, and plotting the logistics of the world’s greatest overnight delivery.
Elves help get Santa ready on December 24th for a busy night. Some elves load the sleigh high with toys. Some elves hitch reindeer to the sleigh. Mrs.Santa washes and iron his suit. Mrs.Santa helps get him dressed at 11:00. They gather to wish him a safe journey and wave good bye as they call out Merry Christmas.
Nick jumps with all his might back up the our old brick chimneys and flies away on his red, christmas sleigh filled with tall, small, big and wide presents for children all around the world, he delivers presents to every boy and girl in the world all this in one cold
He stated. “Well, Santa he is kinda morose and vindictive. I don’t think he should lead the sle—” “Lol don’t be facetious Dasher, the sleigh has two broken head lights! And it’s going to be foggy out. Now go on, get back to the other reindeer.”
While Charles Dickens’ novel, A Christmas Carol, gives an account of one wealthy man’s insight towards the lower class, Steven Johnson’s work, Ghost Map, explores the hardships endured by the lower class in Soho, a poor area of London in the 1850’s. The two pieces of literature work in conjunction to examine how the quality of life during these times was affected by the disparity between classes. Ebenezer Scrooge, the protagonist in A Christmas Carol, demonstrates early in the novel how the rich are quick to turn their backs on the poor. Though Scrooge was just one man, his actions reflect how the rich generally viewed the poor. Living in poverty was understood to be a punishment, which was unappealing to the remainder of society.

One day, Buddy the elf walked into Santa’s workshop, bored and looking for an adventure.
That Friday night while babysitting, I berate two eight-year-old girls for their worldly insight until one of them wails at me to stop. I also try to validate Santa Claus’s existence. And I get nowhere.
Elves have appeared in stories throughout time as nimble, witty, and cheery characters; it is these qualities that make them perfect their jobs. As learned from the 2003 film Elf, elves
It was just a few days before Thanksgiving, and the first train load of Christmas request arrived early in the afternoon. Children from all over the world had written Santa a letter telling him what they wanted for Christmas. The elves working in the post office take great care to open, read, and catalog what each child wanted. Each of the elves selects a letter for Santa and his wife to read. With the volume of mail they receive, it would be impossible for Santa to read all the letters.
I believe that if money is not used for personal things and for helping those in need than money can buy happiness. I think this because of all the organizations, religions, and charities that help create happiness.
It is 5 weeks until Christmas and Santa is all set – he knows what the kids want, he has it ready to go and he is feeling prepared. Then all of a sudden, Santa finds out that what he thought the kids wanted is not correct. The kids want items that he may not be able to supply to each child. And they don’t want what he is already planning to give.
The book I chose for my analysis was Christmas In the Country by Cynthia Rylant and Diane Goode. This book follows the life of a young girl who lives with her grandparents in a little white house on the countryside. It illustrates her excitement and anticipation as she waits for Christmas each year, and how much fun she has when it finally arrives. After reading through this book one can infer, that this book follows the very traditional roles of a man and a woman’s role in the household and with children.
