An Elf’s Code

1. Elves dress up for this special event! (Wear something green, blue, red or any color, as long as you look like an elf.)
2. Costumes are fun, even for parents, and c’mon, you can do better than just a hat!
3. Don’t want to dress like an elf? Okay, you and just you can dress like a giant cup of hot cocoa (or a marshmallow, because who doesn’t love a marshmallow on their hot cocoa)?
4. Elves come prepared with warm layers, a MetroCard, appropriate shoes, and a payment method.
5. Elves respect the city by throwing away your hot cocoa trash, not littering, and leaving no trace.
6. Elves in-training come with a responsible parent/guardian.
7. Elves are joyful and have holiday spirit for whatever holiday the elf celebrates. We’re all part of one big happy elf family.
8. Elves drink responsibly! Too much hot cocoa creates a big bellyache!
9. Elves are elves. You are an elf. Your essence is elvish. Other participants are addressed… as elves.
