==Notes==
*[[Mr. Store|Familiar of the month]] for December, 2004.
*The elf does (X+4)/2 to X+4 in damage, where X is the weight of the familiar.
*The Crimbo Elf only tries to attack 33% of the time (similar to the elemental fairies), but even then, is only successful 10*ceiling(wt/6)+30% of the time (similar, but slightly better, than the Lime).

==References==
*The haiku for this familiar ends with a holiday version of a the cowboy exclamation "yippe-io-ki-ay".  [[Wikipedia:Bruce Willis|Bruce Willis's]] character, John McClane, in the 1988 movie [[Wikipedia:Die Hard|''Die Hard'']], popularized this saying, adding an infamous expletive to it.
*The dental pliers are a reference to the claymation Christmas special ''Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer'', whose sidekick was an elf who wanted to be a dentist and saved the day with a pair of pliers.
*The miniature gravy-covered maypole text is a reference to the haunting melody sung by the elves in ''The Nightmare Before Christmas''.
