The movies have Santa’s Workshop all wrong.
There aren’t elves sitting at benches, building toys.
Instead, they outsource all of their manufacturing to factories in third-world countries.
Is China third-world country? Doesn’t seem like it, these days.
Thanks to all of Santa’s contracts.
The elves just handle the logistics and accounting.
They also don’t wear silly green and red suits with pointy shoes.
Because, in spite of the climate, the North Pole is a nudist colony.
Okay, so they wear the pointy felt hats.
On their heads.
How do they stay warm?
Well, that’s why there are so many elves.
