A Christmas elf is a fictional diminutive creature (elf) that supposedly lives with Santa Claus in the North Pole and acts as his helper. Christmas elves are often depicted as green-clad with pointy ears, long noses, and pointy hats. Santa's elves are often said to make the toys in Santa's workshop and take care of his reindeer, among other tasks.
The development of the current configuration of Santa Claus, his workshop and his helpers in popular culture is a product of the later 19th century. The 17th to 18th century predecessors of Father Christmas in English folklore was himself an elf clad in a green fur-lined robe. In Scandinavian tradition, an elf by the name of Jultomten took the place of Santa Claus and delivered gifts in a sleigh drawn by reindeer from the 1840s.
