Buddy the Elf is my spirit animal. He is also the kind of person I strive to be--relentlessly enthusiastic, positive beyond belief, and genuinely happy to be alive. Plus, he's the only person on the planet who can rock yellow tights flawlessly. Because Elf is the greatest Christmas movie ever and the holiday season is in full swing, here are ten times I have felt just like Buddy the Elf.
1. Trying to pet cute animals even though they don't want to be touched.
But he was so fluffy, I had to! Haha don't kill me!
2. Having the time of my life in a spinning door.
Yea I'm 21. And yea, I love spinning in a fuc*ing spinny door.
3. Basically shi**ing my pants when I see Santa in the flesh.
You would think the excitement would dim after all these years, but it only grows stronger with every passing moment.
4. Taking a chance and expressing my love through song.
It's the hardest thing I'll ever do, but I've gotta. There just isn't any other way.
5. Beating punk ass kids in a maj snowball fight
Fu*k those kids, amirite?
6. The epic commute to anywhere er' day
Every day is a struggle.
7. Living my full truth on the streets of NYC
Might as well.
8. Overstepping boundaries ever so slightly.
I just love a little too hard for people sometimes...
9. Never really knowing when to step on the escalator.
Every time I'm about to step on one, I have a mini panic attack.
10. Getting schwasted and partying like the true animal I am
At work, no less.
There is a little Buddy the Elf in all of us. May he shine as bright as the morning sun in both our hearts and souls, and may his happiness permeate us infinitely. And most importantly, may we never, ever, forget: the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.
