Santa's Little Helper !

Debbi stood nonplussed in her office. She could not believe that Carol had managed to get her into this ridiculous Christmas elf costume for a second time ! But Jeff had been displeased at reports coming back from the Halloween team building exercise which suggested that, after a promising start, Debbi had been something of a party pooper by heading off home early and not joining the others in going clubbing. Debbi was peeved that Jeff seemed to place as much emphasise on these extra-curricular activities as he did on her actual management skills. But he had made it clear that he expected her full participation in sending the team off on their Christmas break in a happy holiday frame of mind.

Carol had been charged with organising a Secret Santa event for the afternoon of December 23rd and she had procured a Santa outfit for Jeff. It had been sprung on Debbi at the last moment that she was to accompany him as his elf assistant. Hence she had come to work unprepared and wearing skimpy white lace knickers as her underwear. She looked down forlornly to see that as before, they were plainly visible beneath the fully stretched green tights which were all she was wearing below the waist ! The remainder of the outfit was the same tight green bodice with nothing underneath, pointy red bootees and an elf hat topped with a bell. She gritted her teeth and steeled herself to step out of the sanctuary of her office where she had got changed, to make the desired spectacle of herself in front of her co-workers !
