Have you ever wondered where Santa gets all those elves. An eight year old little girl has the answer.
I provide respite care to an eight year old little girl. She’s staying with me right now until Christmas Eve. Tonight we took her to see Santa and the Christmas lights.
On the drive home my teenage son said: “I wonder where Santa gets all his elves.”
Her reply: “Maybe Mrs. Clause has babies; 10 000 of them, and those are the elves.”
Children say the darndest things.
My husband of course told her: “Lets see after you have your first child if Mrs. Claus had 10 000 babies.”
We’re taking her to see Santa at the mall tomorrow. She says she’s going to ask Santa where he gets all his elves.
I’ll let you know if she does and Santa’s answer.
Here are some photos of the light display.

Great photos, and you’ve just answered the question as to why Santa is so big with the Ho Ho Ho’s

Mrs. Clause would never want Mr. Clause to touch her again. I would hate to even think of the stretch marks. lol

He sure did & guess what? Santa doesn’t know where the elves came from. (She asked him.) I guess this means Santa is not the father.

But they are only elves Rose who are tiny creatures.

Santa’s elves are two to three feet in height.

@Rose DesRochers: Fully grown, but I’ve heard they’ve been engineered to be really tiny at birth to spare Mrs Claus any undue hardship.
