Tinker - A Mischievous Elf

Oh, Tinker!

Tinker is a small, cheerful elf, full of good intentions — truly! But no matter how hard they try, mischief seems to cling to them like tinsel on a holiday sweater.

Whenever Tinker gets involved with the toys, chaos is sure to follow. Toy trains suddenly zoom across the floor on miniature skis, car horns blare louder than ever, rocking horses break into wild gallops, and the whole workshop erupts into mayhem.

When Tinker organizes the tool bench, the tools seem to vanish into thin air. Somehow, they end up stashed away in hat boxes, tucked inside cookie tins, or even dangling from the mistletoe. The workshop grinds to a halt as everyone scrambles around, searching for their missing tools.

Even so, it’s impossible for anyone to stay mad at Tinker for very long.  When the chaos is sorted and the work is finally completed, the head elf pats Tinker on the shoulder and says, “Your antics keep us on our toes.  The holidays can use a surprise every now and then”.

Tinker grins, shining with joy. They promise — very earnestly — to do better next year…

Everyone knows they absolutely, delightfully, won’t.
