i don’t understand, these comments don’t match the pic!! which looks pretty normal to me, a large wreath around a family…
i happen to know the family, and this was a halloween costume for a halloween party. They went as the cast from “ELF”
Wondering if the elf in the blue is upset because he didn’t win the draw to get dressed as Santa a be able to hide his face with that hair and beard.
Well. They’re obviously hardcore NPR fans.
I think dad invoked the sanity clause to get out of the picture.
Someone deflated Santa.
Island of Misfit Toys here we come!
That little santa must be a ‘subordinate clause’
Good one, from English teacher.
Hello, this is Buddy the Elf… what’s your favorite color?
I absolutely LOVE this family! They are some of the kind-hearted people I know… & they always are up for a great laugh! The mom, well she’s a total hotty. President of the PTA & for good reason! Wahooo Merry Christmas ya’ll!
Is anyone else thinking of Will Ferrell as Buddy the Elf??
TOTALLY
my thoughts exactly- someone has been watching toooo many will farrel movies. lol
I’m pretty sure that green costume he’s wearing IS the Elf costume from the movie. It definitely looks just like it, yellow tights/curly hair and everything.
Fabulous.
And check out that unfortunate shadow on the tallest elf’s crotch. Wow!
OMG….that is so freaking funny!! Only a woman would have caught that.
HA HA HA HA
really good eyes there…..I think that shadow is from Santa’s belt……too funny.
All I want for Christmas is a 10″ ….. (forgive me, Santa. It’s Staci’s fault!)
Cracked rib… must. not. laugh….. nnnggghhhhhhhh :-{
I thought that the shadow was the awkward part! It was the first thing I noticed!!
So now elfs are taller then santa?
Two words:
Aw
Kward
The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.
I was waiting for an “Elf” reference. Thank goodness, I didn’t have to wait very long! WIN!!!
“ELF” reference…after looking at mom…Santas coming Santas coming!!!
Carrot Top looks a little too happy to be wearing tights.
I’m shocked that the poor 7 foot tall kid is smiling so big… me thinks his smile is chemically induced.
Smiling’s my favorite!
Are you even sure there’s anyone inside the Santa suit???
I think he’s hiding. The kid on the right doesn’t look too excited either.
I think you’re right. Mom and HotPants are holding up an empty suit.
And thank heavens for the hot pants! If not for them, we’d be exposed to elfin codpiece a la tights and that’s just not right.
I am noticing in the Santa/elf picture that there is no man in the picture. This was def all mom’s idea.
they couldn’t have picked one of the larger family members to be Santa.
In the particular picture for this ad/promo, the mom (on the left) is pretty hot.
You’re kidding right?
Oh, no. Agreed. Not kidding. Looks like good Christmas for somebody
