Elves are small creatures who are associated with Christmas as Santa's helpers in the North Pole who make the toys - and they were not always so friendly. They originated in Scandinavia as house elves who could be helpful only if bribed but malicious if slighted, especially at Christmas. In Denmark, its customary to leave a bowl of milk out for them. Elves begin to take on a more positive and Christmas oriented in the 19th century as part of a drive to make the Christmas season more child-centered. Xox, Smartiiz.
