Dear Santa, This Christmas I Want to Be an Elf

Although a few days have passed since Christmas I thought it was worth sharing this Christmas story that will make you laugh.

Dear Santa, This Christmas I Want to Be an Elf
Disney+

A VHS laid at the bottom of the brown-old drawer that was next to my bed. The Santa Clause 2. My favorite Christmas movie of all time. I can't recount how many times I have seen this movie in my life but I can assure you I never get tired of it. I pull out the movie out of the drawer to remind myself to watch it later on the day. I continue with my chores such as cleaning my room and arranging my toys. I was 10-years-old when this "brilliant" idea came to mind. I thought it through for a moment and I couldn't find an inevitable reason for not doing it. I decided I didn't want toys or clothes or a phone that Christmas, all I wanted was to become in one of Santa's elves.

I daydreamed on the idea of building toys, wrapping gifts, making and decorating gingerbread houses, baking cookies, playing football with Santa and the other elves, and most importantly drinking Judy's very own 1200-year-old cocoa recipe.

Where did this insane idea come from you ask? The Santa Claus 2. The colorful and charm scenery, the mismatched yet good-looking outfits, the charismatic actors playing in the movie and the dreamy life of being far away from home making toys. Imagine!

Imagine my mom's reaction when she read my letter. How would she make that happen? According to her, nothing else was listed in that letter. My mom had no other choice but to confess the sad truth.

Ouch! I don't know what hurt more, knowing that Santa didn't really exist or that I would never be able to move to the North Pole to become an elf, hahaha. Up to this day, I still enjoy watching The Santa Clause 2 to remind myself of my innocent self that believed that becoming an elf could actually happen.

If you haven't watched this movie, now is the time.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
