Santa and three elves wrapping a pile of gifts

Santa leans over a big present to tie its ribbon while Santa's elves, three small helpers in pointed hats, hold the boxes and peek round the pile. Four characters and six parcels share the page, so dress the elves in green to set them apart from Santa's red, and save the bright colors for the wrapping paper. In Denmark and Norway the Christmas helper is the nisse, a small bearded farm gnome who expects a bowl of rice porridge on Christmas Eve. Santa's workshop is where these parcels are checked.
