I only placed the following images into the second half of the Best of segment because they are designs that are out of the ordinary for the season, not that they were second best. They highlight elements that are part of the tradition of the season but are seldom seen as a central theme. They are the back of the house supporting characters. They are Santa's helpers. The elves rarely get a front seat in Christmas decorating, but in the following scenes, they are given full privilege.
The decorating must be done and Santa's elves will go to any length to accomplish their goals. They are creative and determined as you can see in the tree scene in this image:

Decorator Elves
This lovely elf was part of the beauty regiment and grooming routine that Santa uses to relax prior to the night before Christmas. He must rest and gear up for his strenuous journey and his schedule includes a nice manicure and a trim of his beard and a haircut. The elves help Santa polish up his appearance and lend the Jolly Old Elf some "me" time. It is important to rest when one has a mighty task ahead. When all plans are a go and the list is complete, the job goes a lot smoother when one is in tip top shape and looks their best. There is a confidence building element in a trip to the spa or salon that adds a breath of fresh air to a busy fellow.
Santa Manicure
Although this following lady is not an elf, she is certainly helpful with a few tasks assisting Santa and his crew. Here, Groomer Girl at Groomer Has It is helping one of the reindeers fit into his harness. The creature has been properly bathed and shined up for his flight and now it is time to put the legendary bells on. This shop tenderly cares for all the creatures that enter their doors.
