STEP 5 – SANTA’S ELVES

broken image

“In his house upon the top of a hill,

And almost out of sight,

He keeps a great many elves at work,

All working with all their might,

To make a million of pretty things,

Cakes, sugar-plums, and toys,

To fill the stockings, hung up you know

By the little girls and boys.”

From The Wonders of Santa Claus, Anonymous, 1857

For many, Christmas is one of the primary holiday and vacation times of the year. But to get that time off, it’s often necessary to work like the Dickens (Charles, of course) in the days and weeks before Christmas.

Result: long days, late nights, and a severe lack of sleep.

And no one fits that description better than Santa’s Elves.

Often portrayed as silly-looking, diminutive, ever-jolly sprites, it’s just as likely that these are high Elves such as one would find in Middle-Earth. As such, they are capable of feeling the weight and weariness of the world just like we mortals do.

After all, who works harder in the days before Christmas than the Elves? According to one inside source, all-nighters are the norm at the North Pole during the Advent Season, and the pace really picks up in intensity after St. Nicholas Day (December 6).

It’s important to get all the rest you can, especially during the holidays, but in the joy and rush of Christmas cooking, shopping, and wrapping, there will be days when we just need a little something extra to keep us going.

When that happens, skip the soda, and grab an ALL-NATURAL pick-me-up!

Some of the best Essential Oils for revving up energy levels and dissipating the fog of fatigue are Lemon, Lime, Wild Orange (Citrus Oils in general), Peppermint, Clove, and the Invigorating Blend.

Pop some Peppermint Essential Oil (a drop or so) in your hands, rub them together, and cup them over your face for an instant alertness boost.

Apply a drop of one of the citrus oils on your wrists or neck to help with fatigue.

Put any of these oils in a diffuser, or add a few drops of the citrus oils to a bath (along with some Epsom salts) for a relaxing way to reawaken yourself after a long slog at the office or shop.

Or try our ENERGY AND STAMINA COMPLEX to help you feel energized all day, without the side effects. Use it as a healthy long-term alternative for increased energy and vitality.

ENERGY AND STAMINA COMPLEX, along with other products, like Invigorating Blend, Lemon, or Lime Essential Oils, can keep the busiest Elves fresh and alert!

QUESTION – WHEN IT COMES TO ELVES, DO YOU PREFER HERMEY (RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER), OR HALDIR (THE LORD OF THE RINGS)?
