Elf idea: Stuck halfway down the chimney
Only the elf's legs are showing, poking out of the fireplace or a gap in the bookcase. It takes about 5 minutes and hardly any effort; you need paper, card and envelopes, felt tips, crayons and a marker pen.

A morning line from your elf
I came down the chimney like a professional. Got stuck like an amateur. Don't tell the reindeer.
