So I have a real elf dat comes December 1 to December 24. We started calling her Elfie because she’s an elf, and then I sent her a note in the Advent calender. On the back of the note, I put the word Joy and then she read it and said Dear Annabelle, how did you know my name is Joy? Did you hear another elf call my name? And one of the elf names is actually Joy!!!
