    It is actually a type of union, a bunch of teamsters elves who hide or steal things. You have the Christmas wrapping paper shortener elf, the sock stealing elf, key misplacement elf, etc etc. From what I hear, the benefits are good and they get a great vacation package.

    Are you kidding...lol. I always have rolls of paper left over. I got 2 1/2 left in my closet right now since I'm done with everything. I've never run out I guess its cause I always buy 2-3 rolls plus what I have left over from the year before. And it helps I guess that I don't buy a whole lot of presents. Just 3 things for my mom and sister and a gift each for my husband and I for the family get together's dirty Christmas. But to make the tree look pretty I always wrap empty box's and stick under there Since my hubby and I don't do presents for each other as we are saving for other things.

    Yes, there is an elf, and his name is Macy Target Walmart! He makes sure you have to go back to the store and buy more! And he makes sure the paper and bows are at the back of the store, so you have to walk past all of the other items in the store to get to the paper, so you might buy more than you thought you would!

    The way around this is to attend the day after Christmas sales, and buy some nice generic plain or small print paper with matching bows and a couple bags, [that could be used for young and old, male or female] so next year, you do not run out. I bought one of those plastic storage containers, and keep all my paper and bows in it, so they do not get crunched, or lost.

    no idea, but I usually do the same, so I bought 2 rolls this year instead of 1, and now I have loads left over :s
