Waiting for the Elves

Julia and the girls called us late afternoon, later for them as they are two hours ahead of us. They were sitting outside waiting for the Elves to arrive. It had been reported that they were in their road so anticipation, and excitement, was running very high  :-)
They have been really good lately, wonder if the threat of no presents can be carried on throughout the year Is Father Christmas really checking every child, every day, and keeping his list up to date?
