So for day 1 we wrote Santa and asked him to send Ollie again to our house. Ollie is one of Santa’s Elves that comes to visit and does zany things around our house and reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas. 
If you missed the Elfcapades last year on IC click here to read about Ollie’s adventures. Ollie helps us keeps the magic of Christmas alive in our home.
Ollie will arrive in our home on 12th. If you want to join the Elfcapades with me all you have to do is buy a travel ticket and Santa will send you your own elf. You can even request a boy or a girl elf.
Santa has an abundance of elves that have finished their toy-making duties early. He is willing to foot the bill for the travel ticket for one IC reader. Blonde haired Johnny needs a home. Who wants a Magic Elf?
