updateElf Wally needs help. So he has called in the Tooth Fairies.

Tooth Fairies, as you know, provide a vital function for the world. When they stop what they are doing it is a big deal. But there is no bigger deal in all the world than getting Santa off the ground. So the Tooth Fairies, as they have in the past, are coming to the rescue to help out Elf Wally and the Wrapping Department.

“Big mistake,” said Elf Bernard. “Tooth Fairies and elves do not work well together. Elves are highly skilled, very organized and precise. Tooth Fairies fly around, spread pixie dust everywhere and have wings that require a lot of room. Plus, it is a bad idea to have all those wings around a lot of scotch tape, if you know what I mean.”

Elf Wally said he has no choice. We will keep you posted on how this works out.
