Where does an Elf get his inspiration?

Apparently a horde of secret, slightly creepy, Elves have been hiding out in the North Pole.  However in the past couple of years they have decided to take advantage of American free enterprise and have put themselves up for adoption at some fine adoption agencies such as Target and Pottery Barn Kids.  One of the little dudes ended up at our house this year, and was given the name "Magical".

My youngest thinks he's brilliant, but just between you and me I think he get's a lot of inspiration from Pinterest. Check out my Pinterest inspiration board that you can share with your Elf this year.
