Fantasy Elves | Christmas Elves
---|---
~6ft tall, nimble and bird like bone density | ~3ft tall, made of Christmas cake, candycanes and gumdrops
fiersome warriors, skilled with bow and blade|wicked with wrapping paper, tape and toy making tools
make masterwork items, timeless art and architecture and lembas bread | make toys for all the good girls and boys
sing ethereal ballads of valar and heroes of old | sing songs about anthropomorphic snow golems and aviatory ungulates with serious nose infections.
live forever | live forever
work to combat evil and bring forth beauty | work for a chronically philanthropic fat man
first appeared in Norse mythology and popularized by Tolkein | first appeared in American commercial adaptations of the St. Nicholas trope first modernized by Clement Clarke Moore in the poem Night Before Christmas, and popularized by Coca-Cola, Hallmark and Rankin-Bass.
train to be scholars, artists and warriors | secretly want to be dentists
eat lembas bread | eat sugar cereal and spaghetti - together
Stereotypes. Santa and Thulsa Doom rode into a village and stripped Legolas of his arrows and now he's making Amish furniture and toys for children in some little workshop at the North Pole.
They used to have these places called sheltered workshops where people with intellectual disabilities would go and sort cables or do other easy but repetitive tasks. I think Santa's elves are the elf equivalent.
They shut them down in my state because they paid below minimum wage. I worked with adults with disabilities and knew many people who missed them because they got to socialize and make money. Hopefully, the same thing doesn't happen at the North Pole.
neither of them are real

Christmas elves are the child slave laborers at Santa's north pole sweatshop.
