We do hope that you?ll spend part of next Christmas with us as well!<\/p>\n As 2015 draws to a close, there are now 366 days until Christmas. [Don’t forget that next year is a leap year!] We won?t be posting on the Elf Blog quite as often over the next several months, but come check back every now and then because we will be posting a few surprises between now and next holiday season \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n So, what is your favourite Christmas memory from this year?
