Hello! Hi!

My name is Buddy and I'm an elf. Santa sent me on a special mission and here I am! I'm SO EXCITED to be a member of a green community!!!!! My favorite color is green! Especially red and green. That's even better than just green!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm new to organics so I might need some hand holding. (I like holding hands!) We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns and syrup.

I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you and spreading Christmas cheer to members not on the

list.

Oh boy am I sure excited to be here!

Sounds like somebody needs to sing a Christmas Carol. The best way to spread Christmas Cheer, is singing loud for all to hear.

Hi Buddy! Welcome to OGD! I'll be glad to hold your hand or give you a big 'ol hug.

Isn't Christmastime just grand!

How are things at the North Pole? Hope all the toy making is right on schedule. Can you put a good word in with Santa that I've been a good girl this year?

Hey Buddy,
Glad to have ya here! I was a little shocked that an elf was commenting on my picture in my visitor's messages. So I almost reported you

, but then I thought that wouldn't be good for me since you are so close to Santa.

I'm gonna tell my DD that I know a special elf now who is "in" with Santa so she better behave!

Welcome to OGD Buddy! WOW I can't wait to tell my kids that Buddy the Elf is going green with candy and stuff. They will think that is Way cool!

I think I have been a good girl this year so let Santa know that we grown-ups like presents too even if it just getting a few extra winks of sleep!

Hi Buddy! Glad that you could make it over to the green side! I bet you are pretty busy this time of year, so I'm glad that you could come chat with us.

DS was just asking me yesterday if Santa had a seat belt on his sleigh. Does he? Do you know what Santa would like for Christmas? DS is such a good boy, he wants to make sure that Santa has a nice gift too.

Hi Buddy, so nice to have one of Santa's green helpers here to get OGD in the Christmas spirit. I was so happy to find some coupons yesterday here on Vacation for Horizion organic eggnog, now that is cool!

Buddy, we are happy to have you here. I'm new to organics myself (about 6 weeks now) and would love to spread some pre-Christmas cheer and send you a RAOK envie for some organic products if you are interested. I had a nice conversation with a worker at my Whole Foods who gave me a ton of coupons, but I can't use them all. I'd love to share. Just PM me.

P.S. I thought the 4 food groups were candy, chocolate, deserts & chocolate!

Buddy! How are you today?

My dd also wants a Nintendo DS for Christmas. I told her that Santa didn't make those, but she's not convinced and has been wishing on stars every night for Santa to make one especially for her. Pink, of course. Can you talk to him and see if he'll make an exception?

Oh my, so many lovely faces to reply to! I don't even know where to begin! I'll just have to go in order.

To Prizm99: Christmastime is definitely grand! The toy making has been going alright. I will admit that some of the elves have been a little cranky this year, so we had to turn up the volume a little on the 24-hour carol station. Then we got a call from the Governor of Alaska asking if we could turn it down just a tad. We're still on schedule, though!

To austinmomto2: I'm so glad you didn't report me! I've just checked the list and both of your little hams are on the good list this year, so you can definitely expect a happy holiday.

To ocean_brez: Winks are fun! I'll definitely tell the sugar plum fairies to put some extra fairy dust on your pillow so you can catch a few extra z's!

To OHeather: Safety is Santa's number one priority, so he definitely has a seat belt on his sleigh. Mrs. Claus also makes adjustments to it every year when she mends his suit. What does Santa want for Christmas? He has been asking for a navigation system for his sleigh. He's usually fine with doing everything the old fashioned way, but last year one of the navigation elves fell asleep on the job and there was a big issue with the 11:00 delivery.

To Kiki: I will pass that information along to Santa! He already has the lists done, so I can't make any promises, but I know he always picks out wonderful gifts for every good little boy and girl. Whatever you get I'm sure it will be something great!

Hi YouPdWhat! Looking forward to sharing the holidays with you as well!

To queenofthehivemomof5: Santa loves Horizon organic milk! We've been sneaking him the full-fat kind though, his suit was a little loose this year and we can't have a slender Santa!

To mmandjsmom: Don't tell anyone that I leaked this, but some of those Whole Foods employees actually come to the North Pole for cheerfulness training seminars that the elves give to our retail helpers! I'm glad it's been working! While I can't accept any RAOKs, (something about bribery and having access to the naughty list

) feel free to send them to someone else on the board!

To Jujubee: It's a common misconception, but Santa doesn't actually make the toys, he just delivers them. I only have the naughty/nice list, and not the actual gift list so I'm not sure what exactly your little one is getting. I can promise that Santa knows best for kids and always picks out a gift that suits them perfectly, even if it's not exactly what they asked for.
