The Elf Week Lumberjack Jamboree

In a season so heavily perfumed with pumpkin-spice-this and cinnamon-scented-that, today, we take a moment to stop and smell the sawdust. We of course, refer to the Elf Week Lumberjack Jamboree!

In celebration of all things “dude”, today we hold an event so manly, so swaggering, that the only price for admission is a well-articulated grunt.  But be forewarned…  The Lumberjack Jamboree is no hayride!

If all this “He-Elf” talk has got you just the teensiest bit intimidated, you might want to read-up on how to beef-up your Christmas holiday. To put some hair on your chin, we recommend a heaping helping of these hearty Elfster blog articles:

Now, back to our live coverage of the Lumberjack Jamboree…

Current Standings

Splitting a Sequoia-sized candy cane with a single swing of the axe put Elf Ed in an early lead this morning. Secure in his First Place position, Ed has now moved on to the “Mulberry Bush Massacre”. Here, he must not only resist the urge to skip around the bush, but also uproot it with his bare hands, hurling it straight into next Christmas!

Second Place belongs to Elf Steph who is busy whittling a deluxe set of Lincoln Logs as we speak. She may have nimble fingers, but her determination is as stoic as Honest Abe himself.

Elf Julie is working her way into Third Place sawing Yule Logs like there’s no tomorrow. But with her skillful hacking hand, she might just come back for a surprise victory!

Stay tuned for more Elf Week coverage in the next few days. Tomorrow’s event: The Reindeer Rally!
