Who Are Santa's Elves?

According to folklore, elves are the longest-living people in the world, and are known for their natural ability to make magic.

Tales woven throughout history tell that some of the most magical elves are those who live and work at the North Pole. The elves care for Santa's reindeer, sort letters from children, make the toys Santa delivers on Christmas Eve and keep Santa's list of good and bad children.

The elves also choose the route Santa follows on Christmas Eve, to make sure he has enough time to deliver toys to every child in the world on that one night.

Here's some elf advice. If you ever run into an elf, don't ask too many questions. Legend has it they don't like to share details about their personal lives.
