Réveillon de Noël

’Twas on Réveillon de Noël, a starry night when one of the elves went to check the shelves.

Most of the other elves had been cheering, most of the toys were working.

The oldest elf scrunched his nose and shook his head.

This was another night he could try to get his plan into motion.

He was sick & tired of Mr. and Mrs. Clause always letting the elves do all of the work: sitting on the shelves in people’s homes to watch the kids in order to report back to Mr. Clause, cleaning the stables and making the toys, some were even given the task to tag along with Santa on Christmas Day to deliver presents to the kids around the world.

Well, not this time, this elf was done!

He tip-toed carefully and tried not to make a squeak as he went to check on the toys that had been placed in the ginormous infinite red velvet coloured bag.

All the toys were in the bag and it had been tied securely with a golden thread.

The elf pulled out a scissors from his back pocket and snipped the side of the bag.

Very soon, all the toys rushed out of the bag and onto the wooden floor.

The elf then pulled another item out of his back pocket.

He laughed as he opened a mystery box.

As soon as the box was fully open, a grand whirlwind emerged from it and pulled all the toys into the box.

The elf quickly closed the box once all the toys were gone.

He gathered all his belongings and left a note in the kitchen for Santa:

Dear Santa,

I tried my best to be good, but I do not want to work at the North Pole anymore.

P.S. Do not worry about all the toys that are missing. I am sure you will think of something else to give the kids this year.

P.P.S. I am off to explore the rest of the other parts of the world. I might pay a visit to the Easter bunny, a bit later, too. I need to try some of the Easter chocolate. The tooth fairy told me that it really is quite tasty!

Happy holidays. Oh, and I also took your sleigh. Sorry, Santa.
