The Christmas elf is an adored fictional character that many of us have come to know and love during the busy holiday seasons. They are known as Santa's helpers, gift producers, and cute little pointy eared friends. It is believed that they live at the North Pole with Santa in quaint nicely decorated cottages with Christmas lights all year-round. But, what are elves up to the rest of the year? Who is the Christmas elf? How can you become an elf?

Elf Character

Elves are not only busy during November and December. There are plenty of other events or reasons to get dressed up and put on a smile. Some like to star in plays. Others dress up for an acting role. Movies that air in December need to be filmed far in advance. So don't be surprised if you spot a Christmas elf in the summer getting ready for his or her big gig.

There's been many movies created that include one or more Christmas elves. Some movies worth watching include: Elf, The Santa Clause (1,2, & 3), Santa's Workshop, and Arthur Christmas. Of course, there are several other movies that include a depiction of the fictional elf life.
