Once the season of Advent sets in, we very well know that it’s time for gifts, joyful wishes, and attractive decorations. Something that most of us await, especially the kids is the arrival of Santa. While there is a lot being told about the good old Santa Claus, let us spare this article to explore about the elves.
Elves are believed to be the ones who help Santa in making and delivering gifts to the children on Christmas Eve. Since the 19th century, elves have become a regular face in Christmas celebrations. We come across a lot of elf Christmas tree decorations and elf ornaments from gift stores. Let us take a look at some of the best representation of elves in Christmas celebrations.
