Christmas Wish List

Santa has tasked his big boy helper Camden to train a new recruit this year in the gift giving category.



The chosen elf of the month is Jamos, who is going to assist in creating the Christmas lists for all the good girls and boys.


Elf of the Month: Jamos


Jamos was a little overwhelmed by this great big assignment at first and tried to back out.



But with a little coaching, he became much more comfortable...



So without further ado...Here's Jamos!

As you can tell I've been keeping a very close eye on each of them Santa and although they had the occassional slip up, for the most part they've been good. Please don't forget the $50 dollar spending requirement Santa.

And if the gift costs less than $50.00, please attach the cash difference to the gift.

It'll be mad money for the recipient and make sure everyone is gifted equally.

Merry Christmas!
