Every once in awhile, Elves like a day off.  Yesterday, our elf disappeared.  I suspect she was involved in some sort of secret elf rendevous with Barbie for shopping or some such nonsense.  Well, the next day when she showed up she apparently thought she better let the big man up in the North Pole know why she took the day off.  So she composed and email.  Hey, Elves gotta check in now and then with the boss.
