An Elf Christmas

A story featuring my DreamHigh Studio House Elves
​

Heading Home

The little Elven army had been gone for a while, and were finally approaching home... ​
Picture
The Holidays were coming up, and they were looking forward to getting home...
Picture
Picture
Archibald and Winston had joined them for the final leg of their journey home. ​
Picture
But Fodder, their little munitions expert...
Picture
Picture
was having difficulty with the deep snow....
Picture
Picture
"We know you are tired..."
Picture
"...but we are almost home."
Picture
"We can already see our village in the distance, and I know everyone is excited to get home. I'm just holding everyone back, so why don't you all go on ahead without me, and I'll see you later..."
Picture
"Are you sure?"
Picture
"Yes.  I just need a little rest, and then I'll catch up. So, just go on without me..."
Picture
"What do you think? Should we?"
Picture
Well, Gino didn't need to be convinced. He really wanted to get home to Daisy and the kids....
Picture
"Okay. We can see the village in the distance and are almost home, so if you are sure, then we'll go on ahead."
Picture
And off they went...

A Homecoming

Finally, arriving back in their village, the elves parted ways, each going to their own homes.
Picture
​Their family was only too happy to see them...

Trimming the Tree

The men and dragons had arrived back home nicely in time to help with the final tree decorating...
Picture
Emily was busy trying to finish the popcorn string...
Picture
..before Avery ate all the popcorn...
Picture
Picture
Gino was up on the ladder dealing with the last lights....
Picture
Picture
Fodder had finally arrived, and was trying to help as well...
Picture
Picture
...while Winston and Saphira added ornaments to the very top...
Picture
Picture
Picture
The house was a hive of activity...
Picture

A Tipple

Meanwhile, the older folks were helping themselves to the wine.
Picture
A little something to help warm up their old bones....
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture

Popcorn Chain

Gino was up on the ladder, ready to hang Emily's popcorn chain...
Picture
Saphira handed it up to him...
Picture
...while Avery and Fodder helped themselves to the leftover popcorn...
Picture
"It looks good up there."
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture

Fun in the Afternoon

With the tree finished, and the popcorn gone, Fodder went over to join the others in some 'adult' libation.
Picture
Saphira was having fun with the twins, offering them 'piggy back' rides....
Picture
As Archibald kept the wine flowing...
Picture
Picture
...but Winston preferred a non-alcoholic beverage...
Picture
"Wow!  This is good stuff!!"
Picture
Picture
"It's my turn for a ride now!"
Picture
"Okay.  Just one more run around the room!"
Picture
Meanwhile Gino just sat relaxing off by himself, catching up on his reading, while ignoring all the hustle and bustle around him.
Picture

Help in the Kitchen

Putting together Christmas dinner for a crowd is a lot of work, so Winston and Willie were helping Daisy in the kitchen...
Picture
Winston loved baking, and was only too happy to help make the desserts....
Picture
...while Daisy supervised...
Picture
Picture

Sorry!

It was still a little while until dinner, and the men relaxed in frony of the fire...
Picture
...while Phairby and Fodder joined the twins in a game of Sorry!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
"Your turn!"
Picture
Picture
Picture

Christmas Dinner

Finally dinner was ready, and everyone sat down to enjoy a delicious meal....
Picture
...and as tasty as that was, everyone's favourite was always the desserts...
