"Lilly sat with her eyes fixed on the window, watching snowflakes crowding on the alley in front of the house, and slowly, slowly everything was covered with a fluffy coat of snow.
She thought about the letter that she wrote for Santa Claus, about the gifts he would place under the Christmas tree tonight. And then she realized she should ask Santa for something else."
"The Tiniest Elf" is the whimsical story of a little girl, her innocent wish, and her adventure to find Santa
b. The snow symbolizes Ann’s depression. Cold is obviously associated with snow, which is how Ann feels about the cold. In reference to the text, Ann says “Wad something along the window sills to keep out the drafts. Then I’ll feel brighter. It’s the cold that depressed.” The depression is resulted from Ann’s isolation and she is always trying to fix it. A lot of the times in the story the snowy cold drafts creep through the window sill and makes Ann feel even more depressed.
A feel-good Christmas story for older kids and their parents, Elf trades heavily on Will Ferrell's physical comedy skill set. The film offers good and awkward moments in equal measure in the tale of an out-of-place "elf" searching for his real father and trying to reignite the Christmas spirit. There’s been a lot of hatred and prejudice clogging the news outlets during winter, even during a time of year when a large percentage of the world is supposed to be celebrating the arrival of Christmas and flurries of warm, fuzzy thoughts. Even if you’re not celebrating Christmas, there are still plenty of reasons to have warm, fuzzy thoughts. And the warm fuzzes, you know, can cross cultures, languages, climates, and skin colors. They can be profound, too, or silly. In the midst of so much intolerance and confusion, of bitterness and cynicism, I feel, once again, that a little bit of a good movie can do a lot to bring to mind the silliness of war and the healing power of peace and understanding, even under the most ridiculous of circumstances. Which is why, today, I recommend—seriously—the movie Elf.
In 2003, many people would have never thought that Elf would be as great of a success as it is today. Elf is a once in a generation Christmas movie that includes clever and humorous jokes as well as hits the soft spot of much of the audience This comedy may seem cheesy to many but as the story takes off you will not want to leave your seat. From people getting hit by taxis to elves getting into fist fights with Santa, this totally unpredictable movie will keep you laughing for 97 minutes. You will have a hard time keeping up with the movie because you will spend so much time catching your breath. Once you watch the movie once, it will turn into a Christmas tradition for years to come.
This show can be seen on TV every Christmas season. Then Ron Howard takes this short film and draws it out to be a two and a half-hour long movie. The worst aspect of the movie is that it makes a mockery of Seuss's main message: “Christmas doesn't come from a store.” This movie is all about selling, from those furry talking Grinch dolls to endless fast-food tie-ins.
The film Elf (Berg et al., 2003) follows the adventures of Buddy, a human adopted into Elf culture, as he journeys from the North Pole to find his human father in New York City. As an orphan waiting to be adopted, Buddy was accidentally taken to the North Pole in Santa’s sack. Buddy grew up immersed in the Elf culture and way of life, and was not told of his human origins until he was well into adulthood. Upon learning this, Buddy travels to New York City to find his birth father Walter, a grinch-like publisher at a children’s book company. Unwelcomed by his father, Buddy befriends Walter’s son Michael and begins to make a life in New York, dating a shy, Elf-portraying department store employee named Jovie.
She looked at the light on the snow outside. It was sunlight, filtered through gray winter clouds. It looked cold, and Lizzy shuddered again. Cold. She let out a tired sigh and stretched, spreading out more coins.
The chill of winter air had nudged her from her slumber. Gazing through the window upon the dreary horizon, the blur of gray told Hulga that rain was nearing. Nervously, she backed into the corner away from the window and curled up next to a pile of hay and settled in. Soon after repositioning herself, Hulga heard the consistent patter of rain on the roof of the barn. Her eyes watered as she wondered if her mother had been frantically searching for her.
The evenings were beginning to turn chilly as fall was fast approaching. She couldn’t believe how quickly this year had passed as she placed a protective hand on her round stomach and marveled at the beauty of new life.
Alma woke up that morning to the sight of gently falling snow outside her bedroom window. Delighted, she saw a blanket of white draped over the neighborhood below, creating a charming winter wonderland scene.

Parents, including John and Ruth, brought their children to the store to sit on Santa’s lap and reveal their deepest wishes for their most desired toys. The Blomquist’s toddler, Marvy, awestruck and bug-eyed by his first sight of the jolly red elf, froze in his tracks, pointed at the astounding vision, and verbalized his amazement by loudly repeating the word Jesus over and over again. Even though he amused numerous townsfolk and farm families who overheard his mistaken identification of the celebrity, at least he revealed that he came from a good Christian home. In an attempt to console and quiet her son, Ruth picked him up to no avail. Subsequently, she passed him to John, to whom the toddler clung to for security and finally settled
