When four of Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce Toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the Pre-Christmas pressure.

Then Mrs Claus told Santa her Mother was Coming To visit, which stressed Santa even more.

When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were About to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out, Heaven knows where.

Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the Floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys Were scattered. So, frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of Apple cider and a shot of rum.

When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drank all The Cider and hidden the liquor. In his frustration, he accidentally Dropped The cider jug, and it Broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the kitchen floor.

He went to get the broom and found the mice Had Eaten all the straw off the end of the broom. Just then the doorbell Rang, and irritated Santa marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big Christmas tree.

The angel said Very cheerfully, 'Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't this a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?'

... And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas Tree.

Elven stereotypes would come under Elfism, which I believe is a sub-category of speciesism. Of course this is one of many minor issues facing elves today, but Elf Liberation is solely focused on the rights of working Elves. Hopefully we will have some media to portray their struggle soon.

I'm interested to hear your thoughts on fighting Elven stereotypes (reference the wealth of misinformation on Wikipedia!) and promoting liberation through Higher elven education, and the difficulties of the severally vertically challenged in the human world. Though some elves have used their ethnicity to their advantage (Snap, Crackle and Pop being the most visible examples) most end up tragically enslaved in another factory, notably the Keebler cookie factory with conditions no preferable to Santa's 'workshop' (sweatshop!)
