Elf is a story that shows how a freakishly tall man, Buddy, deals with life as an elf.

He then was raised by elves to become an elf, and he receives permission from Santa himself to go and meet his birth father after 20 years . His father has been on Santa's Naught list for years because of his heartless lifestyle and how he never tries to live in the holiday spirit.
