When I drew this cartoon, I thought of what would happen if the song, Sleighride, resulted in Christmas chaos at the North Pole? What if the elves decided it was their turn to take a sleigh ride with eight tiny reindeer? And what if Santa wasn’t in on the escapade?
How does Santa Claus keep the elves in line anyway? In the course of all the millennia that Santa has been operating, surely there was at least a couple of times the elves got a bit out of control!
Unforeseen circumstances can lead to a little Christmas chaos. Things can quickly spiral out of control. This year, we continue to have pandemic problems, supply chain issues, and unreliable store hours due to a worker shortage. It’s enough to make you wonder if a bunch of mischievous elves would be considered the least of our worries!
Hang in there, people! There are only two weeks until it all settles and we have an opportunity to relax around the Christmas tree with friends and family. In the meantime, if there are some elves nearby, I wouldn’t leave your keys in the car.
