Special North Pole Report: Elves set to strike
December 10, 2018
Kids may be receiving no presents this Christmas season after Santa’s elves go on strike.
“We are angry with the bad working conditions and treatment we have been receiving at the North Pole,” Director of Toys Joy Elf said.
The elves are in a flurry after Santa banned “wrap” music in the toy factory creating another bad working condition for the elves.
“Santa replaced our ‘wrap’ music with Jingle Bells – more like jingle smells,” Elf said.
The elves are also upset with the lack of food in the cafeteria.
“We have hit a snow storm when it comes to getting maple syrup. Without it the elves are greedy and elfish,” Head of the North Pole Santa Claus said.
Not only are the elves mad but the reindeer as well.
“All we have are deerios; it’s just not enough to spring from roof to roof though the night. Luckily our great view of ‘reinbows’ and Northern Lights help me guide my team through the dark,” Deer in Charge Rudolph said.
The elves refuse to go back to work until their pay gets raised, and they receive better food.
“Instead of four chocolate coins and eight candy canes, we demand eight chocolate coins and 16 candy canes. And Mrs. Claus’ shortbread for lunch has to go; no wonder we are so tiny,” Elf said.

The elves should be able to listen to whatever they want and have better working conditions than what they have now. As for the reindeer they should be properly fed with all the proper nutrients and foods that they need to make it to all the houses and able to take off. Taking away the elves music is breaking the first amendment the freedom of speech. The elves and reindeeer deserve to have their opinions heard because it is their right as “people” as well as “animals” and deserve to be treated with respect. It’s a great thing to see that they are sticking up for what they believe in. It’s time to bring change not just to this matter but to the whole society around the world in general. Fix what’s going and the world will be a better place and a bit happier.

EQUAL RIGHTS FOR THE ELVES. After all, they are the backbone of the operation. Maybe Santa needs to get his hands dirty every once in a while. He really only works one night a year . I loved the puns in the story, subtle yet funny. Good work.

I think the elves should be allowed to listen to what they want to. Elves work very hard and if they just want to listen to their kind of music, then they should be allowed. It’s a free country and they deserve to have their opinions heard just like the rest of us!!
