I had a book as a child in the 80’s that was all about Christmas. It was a number of different stories including one about Santa, explaining that his real name was Sandy Claus and he was a toy maker. I don’t remember much more except that the elves would hybernate all summer and wake up very cranky and hungry and have to get a bath and their toenails cut.
I vividly remember a picture of an elf being scrubbed. It was in a similar style to Rien Poortvliet’s Gnomes though I don’t believe it was his work.
Anyone recognize this book?
