A Giving Christmas

🎄 Elf Update! 🧝‍♂️🧝‍♀️
After a whirlwind season of wrapping, packing, lifting, delivering, and spreading Christmas cheer… our elves have officially declared BREAK TIME.

They’re currently:
✨ Curled up in gift bags
✨ Snacking on leftover cookie crumbs
✨ Arguing over who worked the hardest
✨ And refusing to touch one more roll of tape

Don’t worry — they’ll be back next year. But for now, they’ve earned their tiny union‑approved nap. 😄
