THE SANTA TRIALS p2
Necessarily gruelling, the trials were certainly not for the faint hearted elf. Nevertheless, the honour and lifelong kudos earned by the victor ensured a large and determined turnout of both contestants and spectators every year. As usual, DooDoo the head of Elf & Safety, was diligently checking the various challenges twice, organising the judges, directing the spectators, ensuring all the contestants knew where to go and when etc, while simultaneously overseeing a host of other important duties, with his usual calm and unassuming aplomb. Although an immensely talented and capable elf himself, DooDoo’s position at ‘MUMM’, (Ministry of Unfortunate Magical Mayhem), meant that he could not enter the trials. It wasn’t feasible to carry out his role to his exacting standards and compete in the trials, which, if truth be told, caused him a great deal of sadness.
