🎄✨ Elfie’s Farewell ✨🎄
Our hospital is closing tomorrow for a well-earned Christmas break, and apparently, Elfie had to say goodbye early. Rude, honestly.

Here's the note she left:
"Just know I had a great time hanging out with you all, and I fully expect you to think of me whenever something mildly inconvenient happens. That’s my legacy.
Don’t be sad—be impressive. Or at least pretend. I’ll be watching. Probably judging. Lovingly.
Bye for now (not forever),
✨ Elfi ✨
(P.S. Enjoy some sweet treats on Santa.) 🎅🎄 "

A special shout-out to the Elfie behind the scenes—we’ve loved every bit of your refreshing cheekiness! 🎄
See you again in 12 months, Elfie. Thanks for spreading the cheer!
Merry Christmas to all, and wishing everyone a safe, happy, and well-earned break. Looking forward to another great year in 2026!

🎁 Selfie Level: Unlocked! 🎁
Looks like Elfi finally mastered the art of the selfie—no more accidental shots of her behind! 🤳✨
She’s striking festive poses like a pro and sprinkling Christmas magic with every snap.

❄️ Spa day vibes! ❄️
Turns out Elfi booked a little “me time” before the Christmas rush—bubbles before baubles! 🛁✨
She’s soaking up serenity while we count down the days.
Only 9 sleeps to go until the big festive magic! 🎄🎅🎁

❄️ Snowball fight, anyone? ❄️
Elfi’s feeling frosty and missing the North Pole—so watch out, snowballs are flying!
Grab your gloves and join the fun. Who’s ready to dodge, duck, and throw?

🎄 Elfie Update!
When Elfi said she was “sticking around,” we didn’t think she meant literally!
Turns out, a little tape goes a long way when you’re an elf on a mission. She’s clinging on for dear life and loving every second of it!
Stay tuned — this sticky situation might just be the start of more festive mischief…
