Elf
On Christmas Eve, a baby at an orphanage crawls into Santa Claus's sack and is unwittingly taken back to the North Pole. Discovering the child at the workshop, the elves name him Buddy after his diaper's brand label and Papa Elf adopts him. Buddy is accepted by the elf community and grows up, thinking he is an elf. But being human sized, Buddy cannot keep up with the workload and is demoted to toy testing. Soon, Buddy overhears that he is a human and Papa Elf explains that Buddy was born to Walter Hobbs and Susan Wells who put him up for adoption before she died. Walter now works as a children's book publisher at the Empire State Building in New York City and is unaware of Buddy's existence. To Buddy's horror, Santa reveals that Walter is on the Naughty List due to his selfishness, but suggests Buddy could help redeem Walter.
Buddy travels to New York and finds Walter at work, but even after he mentions Susan Wells, Walter misinterprets him as a Christmas-gram messenger and has him ejected. Inspired by a security guard's sarcastic remark, Buddy heads to a local Gimbels department store, where he is mistaken for an employee. At the store's North Pole, he meets Jovie, an unenthusiastic employee with whom he is instantly smitten. Hearing that Santa will be at the store the following day, Buddy redecorates the store overnight. When realizing that the Gimbels Santa is not the real Santa, Buddy unmasks him and causes a brawl in the store resulting in Buddy being arrested.

How Did Christmas Start?:
The middle of winter has long been a time of celebration around the world. Century before the arrival of the man called Jesus, early European celebrated light and birth in the darkest day of winter. Many people rejoiced [glædede sig] during the winter solstice, when the worst of the winter was behind them and they could look forward to longer days and extended hour of sunlight.
In Scandinavia, the Norse celebrated Yule from December 21, the winter solstice [vintersolhverv], through January. In recognition of the return of the sun, father and son would bring home large log, which they would set on fire. The people would feast until the log burned out, which could take as many as 12 days. The Norse believed that each spark from the fire represented a new pig or calf that would be born during the coming year.

Teori:
Regelmæssige navneord (regelmæssige substantiver) tilføjer et -s, når de sættes i flertal (pluralis):
One winter → two winters
Hvis navneordet slutter med en konsonant+y i ental, ændres y’et til et i i flertal:
family → families
Hvis navneordet slutter med vokal+y, ændres y’et ikke:
boy → boys
Nogle navneordet er uregelmæssige og tilføjer ikke kun -s i flertal:
Fx er der flere navneord, der ender på -f eller -fe i ental, hvor f’et ændres til et v i flertal:
wife → wives
Der også nogle uregelmæssige navneord, der skifter vokal i flertal: woman → women
