It isn't a holiday season without a traditional family viewing of Elf, because not only does Buddy the Elf reflect the spirit of Christmas, but he also represents the kid in all of us. Because we feel so strongly about the way this beloved family film makes us feel, we decided to lay out the holiday season as summed up by Buddy and his crazy antics.
