Do elves go to school?
Young elves go to school and here they learn all the roles and responsibilities of a qualified elf. When they are of age they start working for Santa in the Elf Workshop.
Elves can choose which area they would like to work in. The majority decide to work in the Elf workshop, researching, designing, making and wrapping toys. Some elves prefer to work and care for the Reindeer where as some prefer to go into the mechanical side and work on the sleigh. Due to recent technology developments, elves now have the opportunity to go into IT and communications which include social media, databases and developing new technology to help Santa.
Where do elves live?
Elves live in cottages at the North Pole with Santa, Mrs Claus and the Reindeer. The North Pole is very cold and it snows a lot there. The Elves bodies are not like humans, they are able to live in cold weather wearing only their elf clothing.
What do elves do when they are not working?
In their spare time they enjoy baking cookies, singing carols and ice skating on the huge frozen lake located just outside Santa's house.
