Bernard Elf

- Chief Mailroom Elf -

Bernard Elf is Santa's Chief Elf. He pretty much oversees all the other elves at Santa's Village. Many of the elves at the North Pole call him "Big B" which, he doesn't mind; just don't call him Bernie. The last elf who did that was assigned to snow shoveling duty on the northern section of the village. (We get a LOT of snow up here!)

Bernard's main daily duty is making sure Santa's Post Office is running smoothly. Many folks don't realize that Santa gets letters and emails 365 days a year. That's a lot of letters for one guy to read.

Bernard and his mail room elves sort through all the incoming mail and email to get it to Santa in a timely manner.

Together with his "Big B" duties, Bernard is probably the busiest elf at the Pole.
