Do you remember the days when, as an innocent child, you would whip yourself up into feverish and frenzied excitement as the countdown to Christmas Day took over your entire life? We do (for some of us, these days aren’t quite over yet). And that’s why we love Elf so much; it really captures the essence of what it means to be a kid in the festive period. Check out Buddy’s reaction to the news that an old friend may be visiting soon, for example…

Smiling may be Buddy the Elf’s favourite, but which is yours? We hope it’s smiling as well. Smiling is awesome.
